I had the exact same issues. I have 2 Nvidia 570 in SLI. It worked great the first day. Them the problems started. I found a forum that stated to use the Nvidia Beta driver. I did and it seems to work great. I did notice that the game would lock up and crash on specific servers. There may be something there. The game is still in Beta, so I forgive. The choppers are 100 times earlier to handle. I was actually able to kill a tank with it. Was never able to do so in BF3. The sound is awesome.

I understand that there will be problems in the Beta Version, what i can't understand is how they get problems with the servers with lag and crashes like we are getting with these Graphic driver issues, it's not as if they have never put games into servers before lol, the problems should have to do with the game, etc not the servers and Graphic issues, especially when you already have a good PC with a decent Graphic card etc, i have been back in game since my last crash and it worked ok apart from about 90% of the players using a sniper rifle which kills with one shot yet Assault Rifles hardly make a scratch, lets hope that's one of the things they sort out quick and also get us Hardcore servers i can't play this Softcore shite.

Nothing to do with your ping Johnny, i been playing in servers with 35 ping, it's fucking Origin again, you would think they had managed to work out how to put a game on a server without it lagging or crashing by now, i always thought Beta versions were supposed to sort out problems with the game before it was released not the servers, so much for people saying don't update stuff or if it ain't broke don't fix it, if i never updated my drivers i would never have been able to play at all, now i,m getting all sorts of other problems because of updating these stupid fucking Nvidea drivers, you are right i should have stayed with AMD, but then again i been told people with AMD are getting problems playing War Thunder...it never rains.

THEN, they will release a "prime" account that includes the expansion you already bought. In the end you will end up paying over $100 to play the game. Oh wait... they already did that.
