can someone confirm those new drivers will not kill my card?

 

[babybeluga]

I hope these drivers are BETA than the last ones!

Oh...

Will they cause gray-screens like ATI's?

What about those of us who's cards got fried? My graphics card worked good for almost 3 years and a couple days after installing that driver it got some major problems. Nvidia should give me a new one!

Have you tried asking them and if the answer is yes what was their response?

I had contacted EVGA with no response yet. I should contact Nvidia now.

I for one would be interested in how it turns out, please keep us updated.

I've never seen the supposed (30% Left 4 Dead ect.) performance gains they mention every time they release new drivers. However, being able to force AA on Mass Effect 2 will be quite nice. (Insert rant about cruddy console ports)

Is a beta driver, and something that I has learned in this years working and living with computers. A beta driver isn't the best option.

Don't you just love all the fixes and patches. What really irritates me is when the fix leads to other problems.

I am sure that when you downloaded drivers from NVIDIA site, you would have to click "agree" somewhere where you agreed that the software is provided "as is" and NVIDIA is not responsible for possible damages. That's the standard practice 🙁

Why does Nvidia keep shooting itself in the foot? First the chips that would de-solder themselves, and now this? Wow, so much for R&D cash. No wonder there has really been NO new chip from them for ages, so much for the 6 month new product cycle.

I know this and you know this but it seems that others still feel that it somehow does not apply to them because they are above all that and should be treated differently.

You do know that Nvidia don't make the actual cards just the CPU's and as such cannot be held responsible for the foul ups that the AIB's make?

For those complaining, try dealing with ATI drivers... they are crap. At least Nvidia keeps the fixes comming and the bugs to a minimum.

That's always been my stance and it seems to annoy the crap out of some people, I don't know why but it just does.

 

[etrnl_frost]

wait... adds support for SLI for GTAIV: Episodes from Liberty City. But not just core GTAIV?

Or is that implied...

Your right...but it's all good. Just put a new card in my computer and installing drivers as I'm typing this. Was a good reason to buy a new card!

 

[matt87_50]

yeah... and no doubt breaks something else...

Such as?

Just downloaded them for my GTX 260, played the new Battlefield for a while, everything seems fine. The only difference I see is that the GPU runs a little hotter, only like 4-5c hotter than when I was on the last beta drivers (the ones they released to fix the OCing issue).

I think just about everything EVGA has put out in recent years has a lifetime warranty. Just file the warranty online. It's pretty quick.
