    I have been trying several drivers out there and the game is still crashing or freezing, forcing me to reboot.

    This is the drivers I have been testing which gave me bad results.

    266.58 - Game crashes every five minute...
    260.99 - Crashes two times a week or more...
    257.30 - Not playable.

    Recommend me a driver if anyone of you are playing GTA San Andreas out there.

    On the M11X R1, I can max the game and put the Anti-Aliasing to 4x4 (best AA you can get currently) and have anisotropic to 16x. Why is it not playable in 257.30? You got problems with your GPU setup.

    The game just freezes when I'm not doing nothing at the moment. I have tried to use lowest settings but also highest but it still does this stuff. I can still play stronger games like Mafia II on any of this drivers and it works fine, strange.

    I don't know if a clean install of Windows is going to fix this, do you think?
