Hey there

Hope you guys can help me out.

Recently I started to try out overclocking my GPU. I successfully did this with EVGA's Precision X tool, however I then found out that the overlay server that's running with the program crashes BF3. I don't think it's possible to turn this off, so here I am asking you guys: What program or method could I go about using for overclocking my GPU without Battlefield 3 crashing.

Hope you can help.

Thanks in advance.
 
PrecisionX and ingame overlay working just fine here w/ GTX680 and BF3
 
Nope everything defaults. I'm also usually on the latest geforce beta driver.
 
Have you tried MSI Afterburner? I can't think of a time that it's ever caused me any problems. From what I know of both they're basically the same program though with different company names though...
 
I can't even play BF3 for more than 10 mintues without it failing with stock clocks on everything. I have tried all the fixes that I have been able to google. Mine is just plain broke.
 
I tried Afterburner as well. Same result - it crashes with a DirectX error. Very annoying. According to google it's because of some "overlay" feature in both of the programs. I tried disabling this to no avail.

Any help is appriciated.
 
Have you tried launching Precision after your game is up and running? I had a similar error trying to get Afterburner and Crysis 3 to work together.

Still no luck.

What could this DirectX crash be due to?

Thanks for all the help so far guys.

Turn off application detection in the Statistics Server child app that runs with it. That's the only way I can run Precision X w/o any games crashing.
 
Your oc could be too much for bf3. The game is weird about your oc sometimes. Try different clocks or default to start and see if the crash continues.
 
Did you find a solution? I seem to having the same problem with Battlefield 3 and the DirectX Error.
