Default Nvidia G92s and G94 reportedly failing

So first it was the whole 7900 series (7950 excluded) that faced a similar issue but was kept a "secret". Nvidia blamed everyone but themselves and the only company to step-up and refund/replace people's card problems was EVGA. I experienced the whole 7900 series artifacing/crashing problems on my old 7900GTX.

The first time these issues went public was with the G84's and 86's. Once again Nvidia blamed everyone but themselves.

Well now the G92s and G94s are failing. Guess what? They're still blaming everybody but themselves.

Nvidia G92s and G94 reportedly failing - The INQUIRER

I'm sure glad I jumped ship back to ATI after I experienced the first set of failures. I would've thought a company like nvidia would have fixed this issue after the first time. If you have a Dell, HP, or any other brand of PC with one of these video cards, those distributors aren't the blame. It's all Nvidia's fault. Nvidia is a good gaming company but they need to get their shit together.

Meh, that doesn't sound good at all. I have the 8800 gts 512 and had to restart my PC last time I played TF2 because the screen went solid pink and then just black when I alt-tabbed out of the game. Haven't had any other problems with other games but makes me worry I might see more of this. At least I have an EVGA (and took the time to register it when I got it) so hopefully can count on their support if the card goes tits up.

Yeah damn ATI's superior drivers and hardware. I'd rather have a broken paper weight (nvidia G92/94 video card) because then drivers don't mean anything! At least "nobody" cares for any G92/94 video cards (8800 series, 9600 series, and 9800 series) otherwise broken hardware would mean more than stupid drivers.

Edit: For those that don't understand. The above is purely sarcasm. (After the statement about ATI =P)
