Nah that is definitely not the issue my 7970 can easily handle this game at low loads. Like I said it didnt happen on other games I'm suspecting its Raptr as its not happening anymore but if it does again I will update this thread.
I have a 6950, no shlub either, but it simply shouldn't need to run the fan at 100% while I'm playing - the only games it needs to do that for is Crysis 2 and 3. I have Raptr installed but it is not running while I play.
I was looking up the error codes I get in Event Viewer and apparently they have to do with incorrect file permissions for the program. Running the program as an administrator prevents it from having file access issues, but it's not a solution. Could you see if your game crashes if you're running it with administrator rights?
