XFX 8800GT + Vista 64 + IL2 1946 = CRASH!!!!!!!!!!

[uhu_fritzl65]

S! Alle,
I am having many difficulties with this combination.
At first I was getting crashes to Blue Screen...nv*** was the culprit. I found that the fan on the video card was "stck" at 23 %. I received a BIOS update from XFX and the fan still does not autmatically increase its speed. I am now using RIVA tuner to manually adjust to 85%.
I now receive message that IL2 has stopped working.
I am running the 169.21 video drivers.
i ahve installed the sim into C:\game\UBISOFT\IL2
please help.
Thank you for your time
AMD 64 x2 4200 +
ABIT AN8 Fatal1ty Sli
2 GB Crucial Ballistix
XFX 8800 GT Alpha Dog Edition 512 MB running 169.21 NvIdia Drivers
OCZ Gamextreme 700 Watt PSU. + many more fans to cool this down.

Seeing that this thread has nothing to do with me, I realize that there is no reason for me to be in here. lol

Core 2 duo e6600, 2gig cheap ram (not sure the make, may be kingmax or samsung) Chaintek 8800gt, xp service pack 3 and i get 10,438 on 3dmark06.
My guess is I should beat your 3dmark05 score. Will look for a copy of 05 and install it. Unless it was a typo and you meant 3dmark06, then I would say it is a brilliant score.

Don't sweat it out, ask for a replacement. The videocard should be working 100% correctly from the start. If it isn't, get a new one and forget about other "possible" side effects.
