Crysis constantly crashes toward end of game.

[resident56]

I have tried 8.6 Hotfix and 8.7 Beta drives, im on the aircraft carrier at the end of the game and I keep crashing every few minutes. I have the latest hotfix applied to the game. Any suggestions? Would it be a good idea to go back to standard 8.6?

Thanks.

Update: I have tried using the standard 8.6 Drivers from Visiontek's website. Only the final part of the game is freezing and crashing like this. Any help would be appreciated.

Have you ruled out overheating as a factor? There's a lot going on at the end that would tax your components.

have you contacted the game maker or checked the game's forum on their website for this issue?

CPU temps are good, Ive used the popular fan fix technique with these 4850s. Although I didnt know I had to enable Overdrive to get that fan speed fix to work. Ill try it again. The first parts of the game ive gone through without a single crash on standard 8.6 Catalyst.

Update: Ran through 3 GPU benchmarks in crysis

CPU temp stayed between 40-43c at what I presume to be stock voltage (1.28) 333x3
GPU at load with (40% fan speed fix) maxed at 85c.

Ive played through the first part of the game for a solid hour, no hitches. Although in the past when I had 8.6 hotfix in place I kept crashing with message that said "your video card drive has stopped working". Although, while I cant find anyone who is just crashing at the end of the game. I see theads all over the internet about Crysis crashes on 4800 series cards.

Update 2: Increased fan speed by 5% and GPU idles at 54c but fans are running at 3800 rpm, is this ok?
