Upgrading from GTX 285

I'm unfortunately stuck with the dreaded "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered" error atm (no matter what driver/settings combo I use) even with older games like CS:S, so I have decided for a full reinstall of Windows and to upgrade a few bits ready for BF3.

Thanks

I have the same thing with my 285. I didn't realise it was a known problem :mad:
 
I'd personally go with the 580 tbh, with 6950s you'd also have to splash out on a new PSU as your current 600 watt Seasonic won't cut it. You'll also have less issues with just one card. If of course you've got plenty of cash to blow and don't mind messing around with drivers then go for the CF 6950s :)

GTX 580 around £350

2 X 6950 2GB and better PSU around £500.
