Oh it is totally stable. Just not with Doom 3. Far Cry is perfect. I will have to think of something anyway...

Try dropping your mem clock down a little and try? If not try the Core?

Might only take a small change..........

I had to drop my core back from 475 to 450 to get rid of the sparkles. Had to do something similar with Far Cry as well. I assume you read the piece from Carmack stating that Doom3 would leverage parts of your card that have no been used before. I am guessing Far Cry with some of the adanced **** it has going on does the same. Only a guess though.

When I say stable, I mean no problems.. You have a problem, so not stable?

Got it working.

All I did was install the latest omega drivers! Works perfectly now.

Thanks!
