Ok.... so far installing worked, loading screen worked, new game worked, and game runs fairly well... but I CTD on a regular basis, essentially every hour or hour and fifteen minutes or so. I doubt it has anything to do with my CPU or RAM because usage doesn't go above 60-70%, and I know it's not my GPU overheating because it stays at a fairly steady 60 degrees.

I have the game running at 2048 x 1152, set on high settings, 4x AA, 16x AF, with High res textures and the first option under AF selected (can't remember what it is called), and I average about 30-35 fps, with no significant drops or freezes in framerate.

My specs are as follows...

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4 ghz
3 GB RAM
1TB HD
Overclocked Evga GTX 260
Windows 7 64 Bit

Anyone have any ideas?

Even if it's a factory overclock, the Eclipse engine is often unstable on graphics cards running faster than the basic reference example cards.

What driver are you using for that Geforce card?

[Luka Anduril]

I'm using the newest nvidia drivers, not the beta though.

I assume the eclipse engine is what is used for DA2? Is it a different engine from what was used in the Mass Effects and DA:O? Because I can run all of those at highest settings no problem.

Woops, dbl post. These forums keep lagging for me for some reason.

Mass Effect 1 & 2 were created using the UT3 (Unreal) engine. Eclipse was created by Bioware specifically for Dragon Age, although it has been tweaked a great deal for DA2. You are overworking that card at "2048 x 1152, set on high settings, 4x AA, 16x AF, with High res textures", and should lower the resolution a couple of notches.

Do you have a temperature monitoring software? It might be your card running too hot. OC has all sorts of problem with stability.

I had to raise the voltage on my GTX 580 OC (Factory OC, I didn't do it myself) to make it stable.

Ya, I know I'm kind of pushing it. I'm planning on buying a new desktop sometime end of this year, or early 2012. I have been running new games, including Crysis, on generally high settings at this resolution for about a year or so though, and never had any problems, so I don't think the stability of my setup is likely the issue here.

I'm thinking I'll install the game on my laptop this weekend and see if it runs better.

My laptop has dual GTX 280m, and 4gb RAM, but it has a 2.8ghz dual core, not a quad core. Do you think DA2 would run better on it than my desktop? I know mobile cards are always less powerful than their desktop counterparts, but I do have two of them, and I have found that while some games are more GPU heavy, others are more CPU heavy, so I'm never quite sure which computer will run a specific game better lol

Ya I have been monitoring the temperature, hasn't gone above 60C so I don't think thats the problem.
