glad I went over to ATI

where's Mupepe having a Canadian sex tour?

[Mupepe]

Tour was cancelled because Arvie wasn't going to put out.  Blame him, folks!

Yeah, yesterday when I moved to Win7 and just grabbed the latest video drivers like you normally do, and they were these and my computer got really hot and smelled like burning for 24 hours until Blizzard put out a warning to rollback and I did.
WORST UPGRADE DAY EVER.

I hope I didn't do any permanent damage.  Didn't game that much.  But I was spending a lot of time testing my new OS with games, all while MY GPU FAN WASN'T WORKING @_@

[Bebpo]

Nope.  Rolledback before JC2.  But was testing Red Faction G, Shattered Horizon, L4D2, etc...maxed in 10-20 min bursts.

I've been gaming all day yesterday after I rolledback and everything seems fine I think.  I do get some weird graphical glitches in JC2 demo with SSAO on when I drive real fast, but I think that's because my card can't handle SSAO (9800GTX+).

That sucks.  Kinda makes me happy that I'm always a few weeks behind on these drivers.  The only time I downloaded a new one was for Fallout 3, and that caused the game to crash constantly    Never used Beta drivers either.

I rolled back to the latest betas. Thankfully I didn't try stressing the cards.

I'm running .21 - I never upgrade drivers though, but I just replaced my 8800GT so I got the latest at the time.

You replaced your 8800gt already? I was keeping the spare 8800gt in my closet thinking you wanted it lol.

[demi]

Yea sorry I should have told you. I got a 9500GT now. You can sell off your card if you want

[cool breeze]

no problem

and reading the update list for this bugged nvidia driver, if I did read the release, I would have downloaded it since it mentions Bad company 2

[Bebpo]

I wonder if this actually killed your card if you could bitch at Nvidia and get a free replacement.

8800gt spanks a 9500

So if I dl 196.21 my fan will be fine? I'm on geforce 260m.

There are fanatics that get the latest build of all drivers. The latest ones were pulled RIGHT AFTER being posted. You can rest assured if it is still listed, it's safe.

thanks!
