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

The way its meant to be played renamed repaired.

Ok you lost me when they said Farcry 3....

and WoW is an intesnsive game??

Not saying the article is wrong as they could be frying some cards, but the writer doesn't seem like a gamer.

The Anandtech thread on this had the exact same responses as this.

(ATI-leaning guy says 'so we can drop the buggy drivers thing', Nvidia-leaning guy says 'ATI still has problems and this is only a minor issue', ATI guy says 'dead cards aren't a minor issue!')

Thanks for being totally predictable guys.

Here's the 'middle ground': The Nvidia issue is serious but likely transient, and the AMD issues have become much less in the last few years but still deserve to be pointed out, with specific recent examples, where they're still poor (For example, custom Crossfire profiles).

This issue has been widely and independently reported, and Nvidia has sent emails warning of the buggy driver, so it's definitely official. The question is, how many cards break permenantly from this? 10%? 1%? 0.1%? Even 0.1% would represent tens of thousands of affected cards.

Maybe this is why my badcompany 2 game randomly crashed like 3 times yesterday... >.>

Downgraded as soon as I heard the news. I've had problems with nvidia drivers before. =/

Well if u running laptops the above link is a best one for modded INF files as well.

thank god I use ATI Radeon Mobility

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.
