Copied from my post at the GRID forums, before i realized it's an nvidia error, not GRID error.

https://community.codemasters.com/fo...d.php?t=347847

PC System specs:

Q8200- OC'd @ 3.0 GHz
GA-EP45-UD3R
Real power Pro 750 Watt
9800 GTX (stock frequencies, 100% fan override)
Hauppauge HVR-1600 TV Tuner card
640 GB SATAII Caviar Black HDD w/ 32 MB Cache (primary)
320 GB SATAII Caviar HDD w/ 16 MB Cache (secondary)
Lite-On DVD-RW SATAII optical drive
Antec 900 case
2 x 2GB OCZ SLI DDR2-800 PC2-6400
22" Widescreen LCD (primary)
19" 5:4 LCD (secondary)

crashes quite randomly. sometimes in themiddle of a race, sometimes and the root menu pulls up, always on close (but i read that's normal). For What it's worth, the game can't get past the loading screen if the CPU is at stock frequency (2.33 GHz) hence the OC. Also, in the times that it doesn't crash, it will average between 80 and 90 FPS, then drop to 6 or 7 FPS for 2-3 seconds before going back to normal.

I currently have the game running at 1280x800

refresh rate: 60
multisampling: off
Vsync: off
Aspect: normal
Gamma: 1.2

Wind, shadow, particle, crowd, driver, blur, skidmarks, cloth: OFF
Headlights, LOD, trees, reflections, damage: LOW
Sound H/W accelerations: ON

here's a screen shot of right before it crashed (the FPS dropped so i grabbed one while i could) click thumbnail for full size.



nvlddmkm is also coming up in the system tray as a crashed driver every few times, to go with nvd3dum.dll from the crash report.

Last time i played the game, after a few minutes of playing, the game went into 90% artifacts. I used alt + F4 to get out of the game before the VRAM was damaged. But windows desktop was still 90% artifacts. I managed to shut windows down, and it was artifacted all the way till power off. Rebooted, and was fine.


Is this a GRID issue, nvidia driver issue, or a little of both? What are "8d13" and "cdca9b1d21d12b77d84f02df48e34311" ??

Is this still an issue for you magnet? Not on the team anymore either?

Well, considering i posted it yesterday.

I was given a link to some modded 177.35 drivers, but link was broken.....
