No change what i can see, still crashing after half a map on BF3. Didn't find a shaders slider in Afterburner so I used EasyBoost for both flashing BIOS and Underclocking to 822 / 1975 / 1644. Any more suggestions on how to fix it will be appreciated! =) Hi, I tried what you suggested on my Gigabyte GeForce GTX 560 Ti OC. No change what i can see, still crashing after half a map on BF3.

I sometimes get weird artifacts on the screen when i slide my pc to the side or exedently kick it. Used older nvidia drivers, newest and beta drivers (currently installed) and i'm going to try with these setting. Wish me luck! Hi there, i have also got the problem with the MSI Twin Frozr 2/OC

You can also raise the voltage level using Afterburner (that's all the BIOS update does anyway).

The PDF that Gigabyte has that is supposed to explain how to do it does a horrible job, and I cannot figure out how to use the utility to flash my BIOS. I tried autoflash....didn't work. Tried the manual way....didn't work. Any help would be great. Thanks a lot for the help, but this shitty program “Easyboost” is nothing but problems.

I read (can't remember where) some random review where this guy mentioned about new WMOs are worst than older ones, but I can't find the source. ok ok, thanks for replying, Mark.

I had one of the first gen mice in maybe ~2000, and they were rubbish, though. Anything made in the last 5 years should be fine (i.e. if you're buying new, I think you can be confident of getting a good one). Re: Angle snapping.

I have a few questions about this mouse. is there any difference between old and new models of WMO? Say like... 2002 and 2010 respectively. is the "angle snapping" feature present on all WMOs? If yes, can it be turned off? This post was the first reason to I get interest about WMO and now I'm going to get one. Hey, great post. I have a few questions about this mouse.

They first told me they couldn't see the SIM number and I'd have to cancel the order then ring back in 24 hours, but after agreeing to that they came back to me and said they had found a way to view it.
