    Hi, i just bought this game and it runs smoothly with oc. But it sometimes crashes for a seconds. Is there someone with the same problem? Is there any fix for it? Thanks.

    My laptop specs: I3, 4gb ddr3 and overclocked to 850/900 6770m.

    Overclocked too high for the set voltage (locked). Lower the core clock.

    +1 Lower the core clock. I set mine to 800/1040 for Shift 2.

    You mean that with an 800/1040 is not crashing and with 850/900 it does?

    With the witcher 2, bad company 2 and saints row 3, 850/900 clock runs great for me, no crashes.

    For me higher core clock tend to crash more often and ram did not. 1040 is the max i can set in MSI Afterburner, i think it still can go higher.

    Your mileage may vary though.

    And what about performance in your laptops?

    It runs crappy with 7 or more cars at night. It gives less than 30 fps... (HIGHEST specs less AA and vsync)

    Yeah, set it at medium and noticed an incredibly performance improvement.

    What about difference between medium and high quality shadows?
