So can we finally put the "ATI has buggy drivers, NVidia doesn't" misconception to an end?

nope, ive had way many issues with ATI's horrid programming. One minor issue like this is nothing compared to ATI's trash.

Since when is a driver cooking your video card a minor issue?

considering the number of ATI GPUs I've owned that cooked themselves, yet never seen an Nvidia one burn, this is a minor issue compared to what ATI has released over the years.

That's a pretty weak post SSJ12. I'd expect better from you. Anecdotal evidence means diddley. When Nvidia, made the most reliable cards, I had a GeForce 4600 Ti fry on me. Had nothing to do with the overall picture, it just meant I got a dud. A growing number of consumers are having problems with Nvidia cards. Doesn't mean they weren't more reliable in the past, but that has nothing to do with their present situation.
