"Display driver stopped responding and has recovered"

[Slade]

Black screen then "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" which will cause ffxiv to crash because of the loss of display driver.(like alt-tabbing out of fullscreen does or turning off my hdtv does)

It happens alot during ffxiv play time. I expect to get it 10+ times a day. I have tried clean install, reinstall graphic drivers, underclock nothing works.

I notice that i will very often get it during browsing my retainer . Though it does happen during other times. I dont think i have had during battle thank god.

Is it cos of ffxiv? is my new gtx 680 the problem? I didnt get it when i played gw2 . FFXIV is going to explode soon so it less of concern for me but i wanted to know is this a common problem with ffxiv?

I do dual box using sandboxie .Though it has happened very often when i havent dual boxed.

It is a new pc so im a bit disappointed by this.

This happens alot with the nvidia 600 series cards and this game. Its not due to overheating though, its a driver issue. The card you are using is more than enough to handle this game but due to lack of support in the form of drivers some of the features will cause it to crash. Turn off ambient occlusion and have msaa to at least 4x. Crashing occurs when the card throttles down from high to low load.
