I have a NVIDIA GeForce GT 230 graphics card on an Intel Core 2 Quad CPU @ 2.5GHz running at 1440x400 resolution with DirectX 11. It seems like it should be more than enough to be able to at least run it at the highest graphics setting, but when I go the options screen the "Highest" option is greyed out and I can't even pick it? Is this one of the bugs people have been talking about?

Are you sure the box in question isn't for the high res textures? For that you need to download the official hi res texture pack.

[Drastim]

As far as I know, GF 230 is not DX 11 compatible, and you need that if you want to play DA2 on highest settings (don`t worry, though, there is not much difference between high and very high). Also - gf230 is not what you can call "fast" card.

The "Very High" settings require both a high end video card and a Dx11 capable graphics card, and the GT 230 is neither of those.  It isn't even all the way into the Mainline Medium range, but sits on the fence in between Low End and Medium.

The latest update (patch 1.02) really helps the framerate problem a lot, but I can't believe they didn't fix the stutter problem. I still have to remember to keep my mouse cursor over the status/spell bar at the bottom to make it go away. It just seems like it is something fixable and would have been addressed. Oh well, life must go on.

I just got a pop up notification for these as well in my system tray.  How longs nVidia been doing that for?  I've been on AMD for the last couple years.

Also, how's the new driver performing.  Is it an improvement on the last beta (270.51 I think?)

I just installed the new drivers, performed a clean install,  and tested them om the game.
I´m getting 35-40 fps with my GTX 560 Ti (no overclocking) at 1440x900 resolution, graphics very high, highres textures installed, amibient oclussion, diffusion depth field & hq blur on, AA: 2X and AF: 4X.
No crashes so far.
Windows 7 X64 ultimate edition and a 9800GTX for physx; AMD Phenom II Z965 Black Edition processor and 8 GB OCZ DDR2 800 in dual channel memory.
 I would say that the new drivers are working fine and better than the 270.51 .

good to hear

New drivers 270.61 still crashes with sound to desktop on DX 11. No difference. Just the driver name is different.

Same here: with 266.66 it was unplayable in DX11 due to very low fps, with 270.61 the framerate is a lot better than before, but it crashes after a few seconds. I tried any combination with the option settings, nothing to do: in DX11 doesnt work, it always ends with a crash.
Any other DX11 game in my system works well with 270.61 -Metro 2033, Dirt 2, F1 2010-.
I lost any hope to playing DA2 in DX11 mode.

DX11 Crash FIXED - Very long post but worth a read if you want to use DX11
For those that just want the solution: Underclock your graphics card. I had to use a clock speed 759 on my GTX580 to get it running stable.. 762 is the next highest I can try, and the crash happens at that speed (though takes a lot longer than under default settings)

Wow I don't believe it - it works mate . 

Changed from
General clock     815 MHz 
Shader clock     1630 MHz   
Memory clock      4100 MHz
This how the card ships (Zotac Amp)

to
General clock     798 MHz 
Shader clock     1597 MHz   
Memory clock      3990 MHz

using the simple Firestorm util with the card, run DA2 not a single crash in 30 minutes running around DX11 on very high.

If I have the clock speed on normal setting crash within 1 minute - guaranteed everytime.

DX11 all on v high.   

DA2 runs fine for hours in DX9 with standard settings fine, and other games fine, so what does that mean? 
The timings mess something up on the card? DX11 support in DA2 cooks something too much? Wierd!

Ya know with all these performance bugs with DA2 you'd think that Bioware is trying to tell us to play it on the console. why couldn't they have taken 6 more months to polish DA2 and add more map variety... oh wait ME3 and SWTOR...

[NeV3rKilL]

Same here.

Intel i5 2500k
With SLI of 480GTX
45fps in DX11, 120fps (vsinc capped) DX9.

BioWare... Really bad...

Didn't work for me. tried it and crashed same as before.

[AntiGrav1ty]

I just put together a new system:

Intel i5-2500k
Geforce GTX 570
driverversion 270.61
1920x1080,
DX11
very high details
no AA
extras disabled

Im playing at 30-40 FPS with frequent and random fps-drops to UNDER 10 FPS. Can't believe how unstable this is. Hoping for a patch and playin somethin else in the meantime...

[Solinsky]

Still get the white artifacts sound looping and crash after about 30+ minutes of play. Still broken awesome.

Sorry mate but for me it works brilliantly for hours in DX11 no problem no crashes at all, as soon as I go back up over 810mhz it crashes after 1 minute every time, totally reproducable.     What is your default clock?  If it's a different card you may need to lower it more?   Check the default clock of your card then go say 10% lower or maybe more?

Use DX9 is the only other option until it's fixed otherwise.

[update] would you believe it it now crashes for me in the Gallows area even with this setting that runs for hours on several days before.  Only change I think is it's warmer weather today so maybe it's still getting the GPU hot somehow in DX11.  I'll try lower settings - maybe turn it in to a 480 and that would be fun...

I also have random crashes after different play times on DX11. Will try out the solution with changing clock speed.

Can you recommed a better graphics card that my computer could handle?  When it comes to hardware, I'm completely in the dark.  I'm looking in the realm of $250 - $300.  Not the super high end, but not cheap garbage.

Ok! I can play world of warcraft on DX 11 as well as Metro 2033 on DX 11 so I'm pretty sure the game's bugged on DX 11 on certain settings that might cause conflict BECAUSE when I set WOW on DX 11 on the highest setting with DX11 the SAME thing happened but when I lowered my settings from Ultra to HIGH I can play on DX 11 for hours in WOW but that is NOT the case in DA2. With DA2 no matter how low my settings sooner or later in DX11 mode it'll crash. I think DX 11 is not optmized properly in some games like AD2 and WOW because Metro 2033 runs perfectly maxed out on DX11 without crashes. So not all games are made the same. I don't think they can fix this issue. They should have given us a free toekn to buy another game as it's not satisfactory that I can't play it on my new high end GPU. The game advertises DX 11 but it doesn't work so they should rebate or lose customers.

CPU Intel i7 2600K
GPU Radeon 5770 1GB X2 in Crossfire
8GB 1333 DDR3
40 GB SSD
! TB SATA 3 HDD

Downloaded patch and Catalyst 11.4. Tried game on DX11, crashed to blue screen upon trying to load. Changed settings, game ran for around ten minutes with DX9. Now it just goes to Blue Screen from load screen. Had the same issue when trying to play DAO and Expansion with this new custom built computer. Upgraded to run DA2 at high end. Looks like I may have to wait for The Witcher 2 to enjoy some top notch RPG time.

An HD 5770 is a Mainline Gaming card, not "High End" at all. You are probably trying to push it beyond its limits. If you want max settings, just like the Dx11 recommendation, use an HD 5850 or faster.

[Darsus55]

I already had one 5770 when I upgraded so decided that getting a 2nd to Crossfire them was a cheaper option that allowed me to buy other nice parts. Despite the fact that the Graphics cards are not top of the line the computer should really not have any issues running this game. The cards are not OC'd and neither is the CPU. Starcraft 2 runs at max settings without issue. There just seems to be a lot of glitches and mine does not seem unique. I have tried lowering settings with mixed results, none stable. At this point being able to play the game with some level of stabilty would be better than nothing. It also does not explain why the first game has the same issues.
I do appreciate the response though and will look into upgrading cards maybe offsetting the cost by returning one 5770 to Tiger Direct.

What is your opinion of this card?

MSI N560GTX Twin Frozr II

I'm running a single ATI Radeion HD 5670 graphics card which has I gig of ram on the card and the game runs fine with it.

Check out the stats here:

http://www.tigerdire...469845&CatId=28

This is the exact same card for which I'm running in my current I7 build and have yet to have any problems with the game. No lagging no freezing and no crashing. And yes I'm using DX 11.
