    Does anyone else playing the crysis demo have a problem where the game freezes for between 15 to 30 seconds and then unfreezes and runs at a much lower framerate. I am having this problem with the system in my sig and the 169 driver from laptopvideo3go (the driver that was on the homepage last night)

    That's a driver crash. Try reinstalling or go for the 169.04

    I am experiencing the same issue, both OC'd and not OC'd, it is just more often when OC'd but weird part is if I Ctrl Alt Del the Game not kill it but just call up the Vista Menu for Ctrl Alt Del, the game automatically unfreeze itself. The freeze only happened once I switch to 169.xx series of drivers, I assume it is the OC that's the problem since I started OCing, but it freezes without OC as well..I might just try reinstalling the whole driver.
