Explanation of the PC reg key:

TdrDelay

Specifies the number of seconds that the GPU can delay the 
preempt request from the GPU scheduler. This is effectively 
the timeout threshold. The default value is 2 seconds. 

KeyPath   : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers
KeyValue  : TdrDelay
ValueType : REG_DWORD
ValueData : Number of seconds to delay. 2 seconds is the default value.

thank for this, I'll give it another shot later. It's defo not a Mac issue per se though, since the hardware is Apple of course (with Intel processor), but is running Windows.
