Please ticket it. That happened to me a lot during Beta 2 and Beta 3, with my 670 card. Not sure whether this was gone during gamma, since I am currently on a 4G connection and downloading the client will cost me as much money as the Beta 1 access...
I've got a dual Intel and NVIDIA card setup, always used the official drivers, no overclocking or DX params hacking.
Something similar happened until the early November NVIDIA drivers with Alien Isolation, that uses the same "fake" anti-aliasing as Elite. But those crashes on Isolation disappeared by deactivated VSync. I kept getting the hard crashes with Elite regardless of the in-game AA or V Sync settings.
