Rome: Total War Issues

[Reckoner]

Anyone else having problems with constant freezes and garbled graphics? It seems to occur more often now that i'm over halfway through the campaign.

I think I read somewhere about OC'ing being an issue with the game, especially with an nVidia chipset. I can't remember where I read that or if it was Total War. But you can always give that a shot.

I don't have any issues with R:TW on my nonOC'd GT/CPU.

RTW is working real well, only problem I had was crashing to desktop once.

I have not had 1 problem with it. Runs great with my 9800p but I just formatted a couple of weeks ago too.

Figured out what the problem was. It was the overclocking of my AMD proc. I just added the 6800 GT into the system a couple days ago so the power supply must not be able to handle both a 200 mhz overclock as well as the 6800 GT. Once I set the AMD 64 3000 back down to 2 GHZ the freezes stopped. I would like to bring it back up to 2.2 GHZ again however, is there some tweaking I can do with the voltages to make this happen?

Well make sure the power going to the GPU ISNT plugged into anything else and comes straight from the PSU.

 

[Reckoner]

Yeah, it is going straight from the PS to the 6800. The freezing started up again. I think I'll wait for the patch to come out to see if that fixes the freezing.

You have your chipset drivers updated?

I had perfect performance - put on a 3% OC on thwe processor and had the exact problems you have. took away the 3% OC and its perfect again :/

Some mobo's OC (Such as MSI NEO2) even if you havent said so - loading 'optimal settings in BIOS on my board puts it in commander mode (which is a 3% OC)
