Nvidia needs to step up their troubleshooting game if it takes end users sending Nvidia hardware to try and fix driver issues. I suppose I should not be surprised given the Vista debacle, that is a great example of woefully inadequate testing on the part of Nvidia.that is not odd at all considering the vast majority of users have no issues.
Why does Nvidia need people to send them their hardware? You'd think NV would have more than a sufficient supply of cards/resources in house. I find this very strange.
Nvidia probably has some cards, but it takes more than "some cards" to replicate issues happening to, lets say 500 people out of 100,000 for example. It takes tons of systems and tons of time to replicate issues.
Possible. But having done my share of troubleshooting, there are only so many hardware combinations. Well there are nearly infinite combinations, but in a practicality sense most gaming boxes are similar enough. Meaning, the systems that are having issues are not that difficult to replicate. And remember, Nvidia is requesting only the video card not the entire computer.
How is Nvidia going to replicate all of that just by people sending them the video card?It's not a matter of "if config = this, then die", it's a matter of what software was installed when the drivers were updated, if the card was overclocked, settings which were changed, other drivers that interacted somehow, etc. etc. there's limitless software configurations, any number of which could cause this, as well as limitless hardware states (eg. overclocked, low binned part, minor failed parts etc.).
in what? Peggle?tried em on my athlon x2 64 4400+ and gt 610 system and I got artifacts rolling back NOW

So a driver amplifies an already failing cards issues due to degraded components? Does that mean there is a limited lifespan on Nvidia cards, meaning you can only update to a certain driver rev, after that sorry your capacitors are too old.Requesting cards means they are going to be investigating if it's particular board designs, capacitors and other chips, that are the culprit and if so why that is (age? component model or batch?).

No, it doesn't. I mean that is true, neither company is immune, but what this thread really shows is that people will truly believe what they want to believe. And this showing up the same day across multiple forums just shows the AMD Advocacy team just finished a group meeting, high five'd each other and took the internetz by storm.
/thread
Yes, Keysplayr thinks a LARGE part of this is the Advocacy team from AMD. Why wouldn't you think so? Sorry 3DV. It just seems a bit coordinated to me.
Don't see it if you don't want to, that is totally expected. :sneaky:
Frame metering took time. This took one day across many forum. What's tough about it?
Is this how the focus group works? Meet up and take the internet by storm? :sneaky:
Better fire up the synchronization, an imaginary phantom group has beaten you guys with it's "quick" coordination.
No. This is how AMD's Advocacy group works. Stealth. Anonymity. Secret. Hidden. Spread fear and loathing of competitors products.
Not what focus group does. Not even in the same universe.
If you started a thread asking how many members here signed up to join the AMD advocacy group, you'll get many people here saying they did.
If you posed a second question in that thread asking how many were actually accepted into the AMD Advocacy group, you'd get nobody. Crickets.
They NEED their anonymity. Can change screen names and Proxied IP addresses all they need to. Unlimited.
With respect lets try and stay on topic(that goes for the other members as well ) ....I'll say I'm a bit surprised Nvidia did not pull the drivers from their site,its quite clear plenty of users do have issues with these drivers and I'm not talking about cards dying either,even other forums over the net have reported similar issues to what others and I have.
I would of thought it would be a wise and safe move to pull the drivers for now.

^ Interesting considering you brought up the scheme that this is only propaganda devised by an imaginary team.
I would absolutely love to do that, but as you can see, that's not going to be possible. It's unfortunate.
Just received my 770, (not installed yet)
The only drivers available for this card is 320.18, is there any way to get older drivers to work, or should I wait till this driver problem gets sorted ?
I actually had tomb raider act funny 2 days ago with my Titan and these drivers. I can around a corner in a building and every thing had weird pink, green and blue colors to it. Step out of the room and things were fine, back in and funny colors. After restarting the game everything was fine.
