what are your computer specs?

 

[dajap]

sorry-
2x4gb ripjaws x 2133
i5-2500k 4.8ghz @1.34v
asrock fatal1ty p67 mobo
2 sapphire 6950's flashed bios 935/1300

 

[DKRON]

You overclocked the CPU? are u running the newest ATI Drivers? if not update to v11.8.
Also how does it perform with other high end games?

 

[dajap]

just did a clean wipe and installed 11.8. yea cpu is overclocked, stable though. i find i always have trouble running invidia games, i.e. batman, borderlands, etc. I just flashed back to original bios/clocks and got 5 min in. it didnt bsod, metro 2033 just stopped running this time.

 

[DKRON]

go into metro 2033 and tell me what all the graphics settings are

 

[dajap]

direct x 11
- DOF on
-tess on
very high
4x AF
MSAA 4x
1920x1080

 

[DKRON]

dude lol, ur most likely overloading the graphics cards ALOT, metro is a very hard on the GPU
go into:

64-bit
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\metro 2033

32-bit
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\metro 2033
and run the benchmarking program and i bet it will crash running at those settings, drop the settings to high and turn tess off because radeon cards don't take it well (designed for nvidia cards) and mayb turn the aa settings off.

 

[dajap]

2 6950's (basically 6970's) cant run metro 2033 at max settings?

i just ran it, with my cards flashed back to stock, no crash, but i did hit 20 fps min, which is at 840/1325 @1.1v. i was at 935/1400 @1.175 before

 

[dajap]

so i was playing around with the settings, dropped it to high isntead of ultra high, and it crashed within 2 seconds of bench, sweet.

 

[DKRON]

you would think they could but no, even the fastest 6990 can only get like 40fps on max which is about the same as 2 6970's, i played it yestorday with 2 5850's on high but it lags alot when anything happens, what was the average? i would try run it again (with stock flash) once u get to about 40-50fps on the benchmark

 

[DKRON]

so i was playing around with the settings, dropped it to high isntead of ultra high, and it crashed within 2 seconds of bench, sweet.

Did u turn off all the tessilation and aa settings?

 

[dajap]

avg 43 fps on frontline bench maxed out setting. it was never lagging when i bsod/crashed, just random. ill tone down the settings and see if i can atleast play for more then 5 minutes

 

[DKRON]

maybe you should download GPU-Z and run the benchmark in windows mode so you can keep an eye on the GPU temps

 

[dajap]

lol, i always have gpu-z running on my second monitor, temps never break 70c. not retarded man, looking for an answer to my BSOD issue, lol

 

[DKRON]

haha calm down im just going through the steps

 

[dajap]

aha not angry dude, but ive done most of the basic stuff. its crashing just walking, no action. Im only like 5 minutes into the damn game, haha

 

[DKRON]

yep i feel your pain lol, not the greatest game so not missing out on much but anyway, did it change anything when you turned off all extra settings like aa and tess?

 

[dajap]

with dx11, i dont even have the option to turn off AA or tess

 

[DKRON]

just set aa to "0" to turn it off and tess to low, i can't remember exactly how to set it. From a brief search alot of other people are having a similar problem, make sure the PhsyX is up to date http://www.nvidia.com/object/physx_9.09.1112.html

 

[dajap]

phsyx is up to date. cards are back to 6970 settings, ran bench again, 48 avf fps. 10 min though, so clearly not playable with a ton of action. still doesnt make sense why i would bsod just walking around at the start of the game

 

[DKRON]

haha yea but don't worry about the minimum too much because i got the same when i benchmarked my cards and i can play it smoothly except the really intense parts (just don't throw any bombs) it is very unusual for it to just crash, the only other ideas i have for you is to unplug your second monitor and try it again and also unplugging the internet (steam has been known to be updating hidden parts that can stuff up the game) and lastly completely re-install the hole game and start from scratch

 

[dajap]

yea i dont know whats going on. ill try all those suggestions, funny feeling none of them will help though lol. might just try wiping the slate clean and reinstalling my OS, or maybe just quit trying to play invidia supported games.

 

[dajap]

appearantly a common problem for 0x7e codes are ram issues or sata issues. I just upgraded from 1600 ddr3 to 2133, might try upping the vcore a tad, and if that doesnt work ill just swap back to 1600 and go from there

 

[DKRON]

it could be that but if it really was your ram all other high end games that u play would crash it exactly the same way, not just nvidia ones
