Bad news from Nvidia

[sleepy1212]

For those who have nVidia video cards and who have recently updated their drivers (196.75 driver) ..... roll-back your driver IMMEDIATELY!!!!


Otherwise you'll burn out your card.

E: ohshi, wrong forum..

I was honestly just about to install this driver; thank god you posted this.

[Heathen]

Do they automatically update? Because since yesterday I have been having a/v delay.

[Cortexian]

I had it downloaded, was going to install today...

I used EVGA Precision to manually set my fan speeds anyways since I OC my GPU's a bit. I should have been fine but I'll wait this driver out.

[Cagerrin]

Phew, I've got a 195.x driver.

[Good_Apollo]

I just reformatted my computer...Nvidia drivers were the next thing I was going to install. Ohshi

[Cortexian]

196.21 is fine.

[Rob Oplawar]

Haha, this does not apply to my computer, since I run Ubuntu.

...right?

Don't bet on it unless you're using 'free' drivers.

[Cortexian]

All drivers are "free".

This will effect your PC regardless of OS if you're using official 196.75 drivers from Nvidia.
