    No thermal problems at all......
    That happens on every launch after few minutes of playing on 260.99, 258.96 driver works pretty well on that game! oh gawd......

    So the 258.96 is ok, but the 260.99 has the problem? Right?

    260.99


    Still, that´s why I ask, how much time is to get the glitch? I actually never played the game more than 5 minutes, I´m playing other games first...

    Try to play few round online and you'll get that problem lol :D
    and yeah 258.96 is ok, 260.99 is problematic LOL
    playing few minutes is not enough o_O
    usually i get that problem in the middle of first round, or the problem starts at 3rd round...... omg
