The FlowFX might be a good idea, but their concept was horrible at best. Mostly designed by the marketing team then the engineering team, the FlowFX has major issues. The first one was with and still is with 3D Screensavers. The second which is very comical and very sad is even their own touted Cg is causing the FlowFX to stop running! LOL! Nvidia has ignored this and hasn't seem to step up to the plate to fix this problem with the FlowFX. Good job Nvidia, show you really care about your customers who own the FX 5800 Ultra. Nice...

and not forgetting Nvidia Responds: Supposed to do that?

How typical eh? It seems Nvidia is just dodging bullets. What's funny is that they say the core is acceptable up to 140 degrees celsius. Now if that is the case. Why in the hell did they go with the FlowFX? If you slapped on a normal heatsink/fan I'm sure the temps would be roughly around 90c to 110c but still in tolerence according to Nvidia. Just face it Nvidia. The FlowFX is a dissaster.
