nVidia drivers fry your card!

MitchRapp · Mar 5, 2010, 01:56 PM

got this from engadget

NVIDIA pulls 196.75 driver amid reports it's frying graphics cards -- Engadget

Apparently the new drivers fail at using the fan controller properly, resulting in overheating and even card failure when playing graphic-intense games

another reason why I love ATI ... better drivers !

TY for posting this info.. Just as Comp-Ali mentioned i posted the info from an alternative source

Please continue to discuss Here.

PS: some may think its odd that i posted it in Gaming News,It appeared to based mainly around the StarCraft II Beta client's game to start with.

I intend to move the thread later to the Nvidia forums when it starts to drop of the front page..
