I think I need to bump this thread too, with my first post and all.
I've just bought Race 07 with GTR Evolution from Steam, bundled, and had Evo nearly burn out my graphics card (GTX285) on Nordschlief. The screen went suddenly black, no signal from card, had to reboot. Ran it again, same thing happened. Put my hand over the case (my card vents out the top, have a case with 90-degree-rotated mobo) and it was cooking hot. I went online and read that two of the AA settings are for ATI cards only and I should use only Setting 2 or 4. I've never come across anything like this before, but I bumped the setting down from 6 to 4 and tried again. This time I got a good way around the track, no undue heat from the card, but crashed the car. Set off again, got about two miles, screen went black again, had to reboot, but this time still no undue heat from the card. WTH?!
I'm running W7 64-bit (I checked online before purchase to make sure the game would run on this OS), 4Gb RAM, Q6600 CPU running at 3.2ghz. I have no issues whatsoever with any other games, GRID runs fine maxxed out.
Has anyone else had any issues with the ATi AA settings nearly cooking their NVidia card? Or the game crashing like this? I'm seriously unimpressed by a game nearly destroying expensive hardware, and if Simbin had their own forums they would be pretty blue right now.
Any help appreciated, TIA.
