I have an MSI Radeon 4670 1 GB. Every single 3D game I play crashes.
At first GTA 4, kept crashing and I thought it was a problem with the Game. (RESC10 error - out of Video Memory error). But now that I've tried the following games, I realize its something to do with the card.
Other Games Tried
Three issues
1. 70% Crashes to Desktop with the usual Windows error report
2. Sometimes (rarely) I get BSOD, system restarts. First the game freezes then I hear the a stuttering sound from the speakers followed by BSOD.
3. The game freezes for a few sec. The Catalyst VPU recover kicks in and the game starts playing again normally.:hap2:

Things I've done to address the problem
- Used drivers that came out of the box
- Used Catalyst 9.7 and 9.8
- Added an extra fan to the case to cool the card better. No difference. According to the Catalyst Control Center idle temp is 46C while load is 58C
