Nope, will first wait for the great unwashed masses to discover the problems and for NVidia to fix them. Have I mentioned that the keeping-up-to-date obsession is just a recipe for problems? Or that a functioning not-up-to-date system is infinitely preferable to a broken up-to-date one? Probably a few times... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a few times... they might be going on the "why even bother with quality assurance where there are end users" thought process....I mean, why test the damn thing yourself when you can give it to millions of lab rats (end users) that will do the testing for u #profit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
