    What drivers are you AMD card owners using? I have the 13.1s right now and am wondering if it's worthwhile/necessary to go with one of the 13.2 beta sets.

    Using 13.2 b7 here and i think its recommended for TR. You can always try it by yourself.

    Anyone finding it impossible to overclock when running this game? I get black artifacts which flash over the screen as soon as I apply any sort of overclock. Now, weird thing is the clocks I use are exactly the same as in all other games which I play overclocked without issues. This includes Crysis 3, Just Cause 2, Metro 2033, and even Furmark etc.

    I've had stuff like that happen with BF3, but usually restarting the game fixed it.

    Nope. Each time I boot the game up :/ as soon as I take off overclock it goes away. This issue only affects this single game! Trouble is, over clocking gets me a huge fps boost so I really want to be able to keep it. Temps aren't abnormally high or anything like that.

    What about backing off on the OC by just a little bit, 10-20MHz? Sometimes that can be the difference.

    Seems like I have to back off a long way. Artifacts still appear even on clocks 100MHz lower than I can usually attain in all other games. This is most peculiar :S

    Just stopped in to make sure people knew that nvidia is having some issues with this game vs AMD cards. AMD is performing very well with this game from some benchmarks. Anyway I think TR was patched recently, but still awaiting drivers from nvidia.

    I didn't even had 1 crash or problem with this game on my 670m, so I'm wondering what's the fuss about problems with this game?

    I'm playing this game with 314.07 drivers and have not had any problems. Considering I'm still using an old GTX460 this game is running smooth. Having grown up playing the original Tomb Raider games this game is simply awesome. What I really like is that the game has gone away from the crazy puzzles of the older games to none stop action. This was truely a worthy reboot.
