I will try down-grading and see if I can run BF3 and DE:HR at stock voltage--however the card behaves the exact same way under stock voltage every time (green artifacts and crashing) in BF3 (any settings) and DE:HR (DX11 only). I may head over to EVGA's forums and let them know as they may need to come out with a BIOS update for the GTX 580. -- If we lose this freedom of ours, history will record with the greatest astonishment, those who had the most to lose, did the least to prevent its happening.

Krisnatharok Caveat Emptor Premium join:2009-02-11 Earth Orbit kudos:7	reply to DarkLogix said by DarkLogix: So Kris did reverting the driver help? Yes it did, at least in BF3. I rolled back to the 296.xx drivers and can play BF3 without freezing at stock voltage (1.025v). I haven't tried DE:HR yet, but will report back and let you know if it plays nice under DX11. Right now it sounds like 301.42 doesn't play nice with my card. -- If we lose this freedom of ours, history will record with the greatest astonishment, those who had the most to lose, did the least to prevent its happening.

BonezX Basement Dweller Premium join:2004-04-13 Canada	it was something funky with the driver in general, it would report 3d clock-rates, but would be running 2d, and not switching properly back and forth, mine would go to 2d clock rates and get stuck there no matter what i was doing.

DarkLogix Texan and Proud Premium join:2008-10-23 Baytown, TX kudos:3	296 the driver version from nvidia. I'm weary to try a beta driver. The 296 driver crashed on me just like the 301 did, when running the windows experience index. But other than WEI the firmware update fixed actuall use crashes. (ie I can enable WOW's DX11 and it didn't crash even after hours, so its good)
