I'm experiencing the same problems as well. I'm running a GTX 970 and when I use DirectX11 with max settings I get all kinds of graphical glitches that make the game literally unplayable.
Putting the settings down to high does remove some of the glitches but it gets worse over time. Especially complete character models that just start to disappear, totally ruining the immersion. The only way I can properly run the game is to put it on DirectX9 but that sets all the options back to medium. It feels wrong not to be able to play a game such as this when your hardware can easily handle it, especially in this day and age.
I really hope EA, Bioware or Nvidia for that matter fix these issues. I've played and completed the original Dragon Age Origins plenty of times without much problems, it would be great to be able to properly play Dragon Age 2 before moving on to Dragon Age Inquisition.

I've reduced the frequency of the crashes out. Tried too many things to be sure what helped and what did not, but I added RAM to the max, and turned off origin during the game (there's a tick box I found somewhere in the origin window) I think that helped. Still get the occasional problem though. Should say that was for problems during Inquisition.

Hey,
I had the same issue with the driver 359.00 installed (& a high end notebook with a 980m). I solved it this way:
- I reduced the texture quality from very high to high (this alone didn't change anything). All other graphic options are set to the max.
- I installed the latest driver 361.75 with a clean install (so all old profiles got erased)
Now the game is working fine, been playing ~10 hours since then & no more texture errors or graphic glitches. Game looks still pretty good with the HD texture pack installed.

Just Activate the FXAA option on the NVIDIA Control Panel, I have a GTX 970 and it solved the issue for me, the FXAA comes off by default.
I did it for the Global Settings, but you can do it only for DA2 on the Program Settings Tab.
