I am using the 266.58 drivers (latest WHQL ones) and I would like to compare performance figures for those of us using the Direct-X 11 renderer.

Settings
Resolution: 1920x1080
Overall setting: High
Anti-aliasing: None
AF: 16x

I have one of the other graphics options ticked, forget what it's called, though.

I am getting a rough 15-20 FPS at this setting. There would occassional framerate dips too - where it goes down below 5 FPS, especially during cutscenes and the like.

A friend of mine has sli 8800gt's and he can't play the game in fullscreen or it will display navidia drivers stopped responding several times. Then it will completely crash his computer and make him restart it. his spec's are core 2 dua 3.0g processor 4 gig ram win7 64bit. and like I said the game is unplayable.

This is on the Direct-X 11 renderer, right? On the Direct-X 9 renderer, I get 45-60FPS.

You should install NVIDA Beta drivers 270.51 to run the game without issues.

[Xan78]

Beta drivers were installed and didnt help his issue at all

My laptop plays the game just fine, and it has two 8800Ms running in SLI mode with the current, beta drivers. Using the DX11 option on my laptop @ 1920x1200, High, No AF, AAx16, hi rez textures, I get 30-32 FPS easily. Cut scenes on my laptop drop to about 25fps. My Laptop is a Dell XPS 1730. It's a bit old, but was pretty much top of the line when I got it ages ago. My laptop plays the game just fine on full screen

I also yanked my 580s and put back in my old 8800s, that I had sitting in my closet, into my desktop. The game ran in full screen with 1 or 2 (sli) just fine. Granted a LOT slower vs 2 580s LOL

Try underclocking your cards. DA2 seems to crash and have issues with OCed (even factory OCed) cards on some systems.

Although my 580s are OCed quite a bit, but they are water vs air cooled.

I'll see if underclocking them helps. Not sure why it would cause this issue. It's mostly the display drivers quit responding.

[Waltzingbear]

I thought that's the normal framerate for that hardware range.

I have 9800GTX+ .
At 1600x900, DX11, no AA- high quality seem too demanding so I'm playing on medium and it usually doesn't get higher than 35fps. I have the latest beta driver but any driver updates seemed to have no effect.

Why do you think it should run better? Do you have confirmation of better performances on similar cards?

I have two 8800GT with SLI activated, a quad core Q6600 @ 2.4 GHz, 4 GB of RAM, Windows 7 64 bit SP1. I can't remember a single crash, so i guess there is another problem with your friend's rig, Xan78.

[Xan78]

Yea I'm not sure whats wrong with his rig. I have tried numerous things to try to fix it. I suggested to him to try a fresh install of win7. It's about the only thing I can come up with cause I have tried everything else you could think of. Because I think there is a file in win7 thats corrupted and that's what is causeing the problems.

FYI everyone who is still getting crashing, DO NOT ignore the people saying to UNDERCLOCK your video card(s). Dragon Age 2 is THE most sensitive game I have ever played with regard to overclocks/factory overclocks. I've had two GTX 570 factory OC'd cards, both crash in DA2 at the stock clock speeds, but no other game I can find causes them to crash. Once I underclocked the memory a bit (close to NVidia's reference spec), the issue was resolved.

Just installed the new drivers.

Performance is more consistent, and framerates range from the high-teens to the low-twenties.

I think this is as great as performance is going to get on the Direct-X 11 renderer.

am i understanding this correctly? people are running in dx11 with dx9 cards?

This is on a Direct-X 10 card.

so i guess there's a brand of 9800 card that is dx10? my 9800gtx is a dx9, so i assumed all were.

[Waltzingbear]

All the GeForce 9 Series supports DX10. DX11 is able to run on DX10 cards.

I didn't know the former, but knew about the latter.

[bzombo]

oh, i see. having xp limits me to dx9 and i assumed 9800 gtx was dx9. had a doh! moment.
