Installed these today and have same issue that many have reported on different forums which is the base clocks does not return to 157/300, but 400/1200, or what ever you have overclocked your memory too for me that is 1275, when overdrive is used.

I have had issues with 10.2,10.3,10.4 a&b&whql versions in BFBC2. I have looked at many posts around the web and have changed my sound card setting to 16bit from 24bit and also running the game at 1920x1080 @59hz rather than 60hz to try and stop the freezing/crashes etc..

Will now try 10.5 and see if it still crashes.

Not sure on the base clocks, but wasn't the drop and rise causing crashes, I believe it was the change in memory clocks which was the main problem.

Will get these installed sometime soon.

The map loading issue in Battlefield Bad Company 2 was resolved with the previous 10.4 release.

For me 10.4 fixed the bc2 maploading, but 10.5 broke it again.

For me 10.4 fixed the bc2 maploading, but 10.5 broke it again.

A hotfix has now been released for that.

I noticed last night during a game of BFBC2 that my FPS dropped to 35. When I checked, my clocks had gone to 157 and 300.

This was after the update to 10.5. It might have been just a glitch in the map. I'm going to roll back to 10.4 and see if the same area produces the same problem. I forget the map name.

Map loads are fine.

Seems fine here. System is in my link.

any perticular reason why 10.5a is nearly double the size of 10.5? find it a bit odd.

[Taurus]

10.5 is for 3000 & 4000 seris cards only!

10.5 is for 3000 & 4000 seris cards only!

not according to the release notes, i think you mean 5a is for 2/3/4 series cards

Suicidal I should have put 10.5a and I did forget to add the 2000 series
