    I posted a thread about my problem with GRAW2 last week and nobody could help me, so I contacted UBIsoft support and this guy told me to set the "Frames to render ahead" from 3 to 0 (my problem is that the game crashes when i try to enter options or when using esc. in-game). But I can't seem to find this option in my nVidia Control panel. I have the beta driver 169.04 on my system.
    Does anybody have this option? And if so where? Please be specific because I have everything in danish, so a "third option from the top in this-and-this" would be great :D

    i can't find that option neither anymore. But with rivatuner you can set the frames to render ahead too.

    When you run rivatuner then open "Direct3D tweaks". Go to the tab "VSync" and set the "Pretender limit" to 0 (default is 3).

    Yeah :S Unfortunately that didn't work for me with my GRAW2 crash prob. I just thought that maybe it HAD to be from the nVidia control panel.

    Try to set it to 1 instead of 0. As for my 8800GTX desktop 0 frames ahead doesn´t work, it crashes too. But 1 and 2 does.

    GRAW 2 seems to be coded pretty badly, especially if our 1730s cant run it at all or some run it but it plays like crap, like it does on mine, no matter what settings I lower it still runs less than 30FPS
