To everyone posting about graphic glitches and crashing

[ℭ𝔶𝔫𝔦𝔠𝔞𝔩]

I thought it was just me, but it appears a LOT of people are posting about this. If you run in to the situation where the game is crashing, and you're getting weird graphic glitches were the ground becomes like a giant f***ing wall, then turn down your graphics!

I was running the game on optimal and MSAA set to x4, and it was happening to me too. I set the game down to medium (even high works too), and MSAA down to x0, and it stopped doing it. I played the games for like 6 hours straight the other day and it didn't crash once. (Plus, the game still looks beautiful on medium/high.)

For technical reasons, here are my specs also:
i7-3770k 3.5GHz
GTX 660 Ti SLI
32GB 1600 MHz
750W Corsair power supply

My GPU meter also said that my graphics card was using 98%-100% of it's power and it was hitting 185+ degrees farenheit, so I think there's a strong possibility it's the graphic card overheating.

I found just turning msaa off, Vsync on(that was the big one for me) and to HBAO, i was able to play on all ultra settings. (45-48 fps indoor 38-40 outdoor) Before when i had msaa on 8, Vsync off and HDAO on i got the same thing pinned 99% gpu workload 90 C temps. After slowly turning things down one by one and monitoring my GPU workload and temps i found thats all i had to turn down. I now run about 55-65% gpu workload and temps like 65 C. Vsync i found to be the big kicker having it off and gfx to high my GPU would just go balls to the wall trying to crank it out. Vsync on i could even turn msaa on 4 but the workload would slowly start to grow and temps raise so i stay off and everything looks great. I have had no crashes or overworked gpu issues or temps since changing to this config.

Game runs terrible for me on DX9 - Low or DX11 - High or anything between unless I disable Crossfire, but I dont want to disable half my video hardware to play a FPS at a lower frame rate.

AMD Beta 11 drivers make Far Cry 3 run great with Crossfire enabled but then most other games that did work fine crash...

The MSAA seems to be the killer. I've logged about 25 hours in the game and have had 0 crashes and haven't encountered any graphical glitches. Since the beginning I've been running the game at fully maxed specs at 1920x1080 with the exception of MSAA which I've left off. Even when I put the MSAA to 8 the game is still playable but the graphical enhancement is hardly noticeable and the game runs buttery smooth with MSAA off. I haven't checked the actual frames but its gotta be over 60 frames.

I have everything on, running right through nVidia Control Panel (Took 3 hours to get it right) but still, should not have to do this. This game clearly was not tested right and/or not a finished product.

So i should try turning off MSAA ? , I turned off Vsync and the game was super smooth , at 1 or 2 frames it is playable but is not smooth when panning the camera , doing movements in general. I'll try the MSAA though ,
