NVIDIA warning!
« Topic Start: March 05, 2010, 05:41:59 AM »
Uninstall Nvidia drivers posted yesterday March 2nd , a issue has been discovered that indicates they may actually stop GPU fans from running , please go to Nvidia site and confirm they are no longer available if you don't believe this .

http://www.nvidia.com/object/win7_wi...6.21_whql.html


I dont know which operating systems are affected , but Vista 32 bit only shows the old Jan 19th drivers now .



I was checking Bad Company EA forums when someone else posted this issue , it could be bad new Nvidia drivers are to blame for some of the game launch problems as well.

I'll look more into this later.  One immediate note is that URL isn't in the format all other driver URLs are on nvidia:

http://www.nvidia.com/object/win7_winvista_64bit_196.21_whql.html

Which I'm guessing is a forum shortening thing.  None the less, the link he says should be gone seems to be for the 196.21 version.  Not the 196.34 version (which is still available on the beta page).

What version did you download?

If you wanted to tell me something, you should have done it before you died.

In a few weeks the GTX 470 and GTX 480's come out.
I haven't seen any conclusive benchmarks though.
