BLOPS II - GTX580 boat scene crash - solved
Ok, I downloaded and installed BLOPS2, and like many many other people with GTX580s (and sometimes 570s), there is a cut scene where you're flying on the side of a chopper that is shot out of the sky. At that stage, many players are experiencing a GTX580 specific driver crash to desktop. I'm confident that although drivers play a part in this, the core is simply too undervolted by default.
As it turns out the solution is the same as what people with GTX580s need to do with Battlefield 3 crashes to desktop... its quite simple.
Then
Take care to only MINIMISE Afterburner and not close it.
Try BLOPSII again, it will work now. I would also recommend update nVidia drivers to the beta 310.54 version or later.
This method has continued to eliminate all crashes in gaming, especially in BF3 where it solved a repeatable crash condition by simply overvolting the graphics core. Its simply too low by default. Add 100mV (0.1V) to the core and it will immediately stop crashes. Solved the BLOPS II boat scene crash as well.

- Download Afterburner
- Install and run it
- Open it and select Settings
- Check the Unlock Voltage Control option under the General Tab
- Also enable Start with Windows and Start Minimised
- Click OK.
Then
- On main Afterburner GUI, adjust Core Voltage to 1100mV (1.1V).
Note: You may also want to up the fan speed here too - a little more voltage can also warm the graphics card. Mine are watercooled, so I select 100%. Id probably do the same with fans, but i don't care about noise too much. - Select Apply.
- Restart Afterburner by closing and re-opening it.
- It should now have an icon in the notification area.
- Double click on it and ensure the Core Voltage option is still at 1100mV
