jalaffa Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 NVIDIA has removed the latest ForceWare 196.75 from their servers because this driver has an important bug: it prevents the fan from spinning and caused a death of multiple graphics cards around the world.G92-based graphics cards (GeForce 9800GT, 9800GTX and GTS 250) seem to be very affected by this bug.Source: Geeks3dMore information can be found on threads such as these:http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=161525http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=161503http://www.incgamers.com/News/21293/nvidia-19675-kills-video-cards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeetPirate Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Shew, that was a close one. I didn't get around to installing this update on Win7 as yet but I did install it on XP. I guess I'm still lucky since my card is G94. This is a horrible driver release though, how the hell could they allow this to happen? Did nobody test the drivers before releasing them? nVidia development team is useless? WHQL is useless too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mara- Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Guys.. I went to the shop yesterday.. and I found out that my GPU costs 80 euros now :(I bought it for 150 euros 1,5 years ago.. suxx :(Well, that's not surprising at all.
