HOLY FUCK WILL IT EVER END?
Ouch, bad times for team green these days.
Don't worry that 7.5 GB 1080 ti for $1500 will make it all better
considering their 90% marketshare on the gpu market
nvidia needs to get knocked down just a bit before amd dies completely and we pay wacom prices for a 8600gs

>>53825258
what is that, the 2nd bad driver in a row?
remember when you didn't have to update drivers for every fucking game
>>53825258
What the fuck is ATI?
Fake posts by AMDPOORFAGS as usual
Ignore them
>>53825701
That's $0.002 deposited into your account, Raj
There is no cards bricked at all, it's pretty much a dirty smear campaign by AMDPOORFAGs that are jealous about the great driver support and driver releases from Nvidia while they don't get any driver at all
>>53825736

>>53825258
ITS NOT FUCKING FUNNY. I HAVE A MEMETX 980 (i got it for a really good price tho) AND THE DRIVERS ARE FUCKING SHIT. FUCK FUCK FUCK. AND ITS GETTING STOMPED BY A 390X IN DX12 WHICH IS A TWO GEN OLD GPU FUCKKKK IM SO FUCKING ANGRY. FUCK U NVIDIA FUCK FUCK FUCK.

Damn son wasn't the last one just a month and a half ago?
>>53825258
So, two to date with Maxwell, one with Kepler, and two that I can recall with Fermi. Meanwhile, when was the last time an AMD driver update bricked a significant number of cards in the wild?
>>53825258
It just keeps happening.
Do they not have a QA team or something?
Remember goys
Nvidia© Buy a new one faggot!™
Pure Nvidia experience
im still using the drivers that came off the install CD. never had an issue
>>53825258
How many times have they killed cards in the last few years? Like 4 now?
>>53825997
Thanks senpai, kind of insane it has been two with Maxwell now, it's 5 in total that's fucking insane

>>53827563
It's literally impossible for a processor to overheat and kill itself.
The fan bug DID exist, it happened yes, but only to the few people who for what reason had activated AMD Overdrive WHILE using a third party overclock/fan controller program.
Entirely the fault of the user. I myself updated to Crimson the moment it was released. My 290X never had so much as a hiccup, because I am not retarded.
>>53827613
>It's literally impossible for a processor to overheat and kill itself.
not true for VRMs. people did have their cards fry from crimson. no need to defend amd's mistakes.
>>53826820
Aquired by AMD in 2006. I bet 95% of the posters still on 4chan hadn't even heard of this website at that time.
I was 12 years old when it happened.

I don't care, i will still get a Nvidia card. I'm fucking done with AMD. One of their driver updates fucking killed the CCC and robbed it of several very useful functionalities such as beign able to set hotkeys. Why they removed those functions is beyond me. Also no physX
>>53827902

AMD is starting to look more and more good in my eyes, don't think I wanna get pascal now desu.
>>53827967
also inb4 >le amd shill
I don't give a fuck about this team red vs. team green bullshit, I'll just buy from whoever has the best card, I'm not a fan of either. Pretty fucking shitty move for nvidia to pull off a move like this right before their pascal release though, they better give some compensation to people.
>>53827840

They kept up the ATI branding for a good couple of years. The HD5000 series were still under that name.
Why not just rid yourself of the faggotry that is the GeFARCE experience upon getting a new GPU or driver??
JFC. I'm about to replace my 8-year-old laptop with a newer one, boiling down to using NVIDIA based on the benchmarking and ways you can alternate the output -- much more responsive than AMD's previous Shittalyst Shilltroll Center.

Not settled on the ASUS just yet, strongly considering the GIG, despite lower-end RAM and GPU. Not intending on running The Division on some fucking 60fps+ BTFO proportion settings. Any other considerations? Haven't checked out Tigerdirect completely, set price limit on purchasing a gametop on sale is ~$1000. Will benchmark whichever with Unigine Valley to see if it lives up to its cover page.
Which one, /g/?
>>53828133

One time with the Geforce 8 series.
One time with the 500 series.
Two times with the 700 series.
One time with the 900 series.

Seems right on schedule given pascal is expected sometime june.
>>53825258
It's unbelievable.This is the third time in a year where geforce forum users claim new drivers are killing cards. There should have the option to let users verify nvidia gpu ownership to prevent amdshills making fake claims there.
>>53828656
But then Nvidiashills like yourself couldn't just accuse everyone who has had their GPU fucked up by Nvidia's driver team of making false claims.
>>53828656
They're probably ex-AMDPOORFAGs who converted to nVidia because of 'muh drivers' meme. Then when they joined they get cuck'd by nVidia's card-killing drivers.
Long-time nVidia owners know best to let others be the beta testers. Or take special precautions.
>>53825283
what do you think the cost of the 1080 or whatever will cost? should I get akimbo 980ti's and be done with it?
>>53827563
The problem with crimson bug was only when you overclocked with the MSI afterburner. Either way the warranty is void once you OC, so it isn't quiet the same.
>>53828735
>Long-time nVidia owners know best to let others be the beta testers.
Even WHQL drivers (not that WHQL means anything despite what Nvidia fanboys think) from Nvidia have killed cards in the past. It is literally pot luck when Nvidia releases a driver whether its going to explode your gpu, your OS or (in one amusing case) your monitor.
>>53828328
Bump. Meanwhile, I will be looking into Tigerdirect for a smidgen of a half hour.
Would rather it be on sale, gotta hustle what I can.
>perform clean install like you should
>no problems
Probably just a bunch of retards choosing express settings and then wondering why shit breaks
>>53827130
Better than integrated unless you've got like a brand new core i7, in which case you've already got a giant GPU to go with it.
>>53828898
>The automatic option breaks shit
>"It's their fault!"
NCucks never fail to disappoint.
>>53827657
Except they didn't, since AMD doesn't use the cheapest VRM's like Nvidia does
>>53828352
It's two times now with Maxwell
>>53828823
I think nVidia should release drivers every two months. It's fast enough to keep me happy. One a month is blistering fast.
>>53828931
>implying that's some big secret
Are you 12?
>>53828966
>Except they didn't, since AMD doesn't use the cheapest VRM's like Nvidia does
The hawaii reference pcb is stupidly over-engineered to handle the stress the core puts on it. The vrms themselves will handle over 100c at reference voltage.

Kill yourself, retard.
The Nvidia subreddit is managed by AMD shills if you didn't knew this already.
So take everything you see in that place with a huge amount of salt.
>>53826945

>>53825340
are you this retarded?
>>53825258
That explains why my friend's GPU is dead. It won't change resolution on windows stock drivers and eventually crashes, and with drivers it won't get past splash screen. He JUST moved so I thought it or the mobo was damaged in transit but this is way too much of a coincidence.
>>53826820
>>53827765
>>53827774

Yes, I am, you have a problem?
>>53830051
no, but you do.
>>53829988
kek, I moved my PC to a new room in the same house, I didn't bother to remove the GPU and somehow the PCIE slot got damaged.
Good think I have another.
>>53830069
But you clearly have a problem with retarded people.
>>53830093
Yeah I asked him to try in other slots but he said it failed in them all. Then again maybe he fucked up...some how.

And thus /g/ once again became tumblr for the day.
>>53830394
>>53830379
Well yeah. The link from the OP gives us links and screenshots to and of the Nvidia forums where users are describing the new drivers bricking the cards, whereas the other link only tells us the new drivers _may_ brick the cards.
Furthermore, it has been found out that this only happens if you OC the cards using third party software.
>>53830409
I really really like this pepe.
>>53830114
yes I do, do you have a problem with me having a problem with retarded people?
>>53830449
If you actually go to the links provided you would notice the Reddit AMD thread is just someone claiming cards are getting bricked but providing no proof, then some people stating their OS and GPU and updated without issues, then some people complaining about artifacts and then asked if they have overclock saying Yes they do and told to lower it and them some people claiming their old as fuck cards have just now died.
If you go the Geforce thread you would have noticed less than half of the thread is actual people with problems with the Nvidia rep asking for their computer and os and if they can replicate the issue with the link to that nvidia form to fill out bug reports then more than half of the discussion is AMD shills trolling and posting should have bought AMD posting images of the new AMD crimson panel and old firehouse jokes.
>>53830546
No, I'm just saying that you have a problem with retarded people, as you just admitted to having problem with retarded people after you said you didn't have problem with retarded people.
So what /g/ is telling me is that any Nvidia problems reported on forums and the like are just AMD shills making shit up.
Would this be an accurate statement?
>>53830636
Correct. Everything and everyone is a shill
>>53830449
>31 pages of people complaining about drivers.
Only like the first 10 pages actually provide feedback, I'm not saying Nvidia drivers are perfect in fact I've reported like 4 bugs this year, but they all were small stuff like SGSSAA and third party programs overlays issues but they were all fixed even the SGSSAA one which isn't even official supported.
>>53830654
>>53830379
Do you really believe setting the fans at 20% is going to kill the card? Card just throttles itself to shit to keep the termperature down.
While Fermi on the other hand literally caught on fire.

what could you possibly mean by this?
>>53830344
It's not OK when AMD does it, but it's a lot less OK when Nvidia does it for the fifth time.
Thank god I don't have a Nvidia card, I'd have to keep on a constantly lookout for the yearly GPU-killing driver update.
>>53835094
>what could you possibly mean by this?
Figuratively, you retard.
Every month there is a GPU killing driver, or a game ruined by shitworks, or older cards being gimped in new games, or a high-end card being released with defective VRAM (970), or a mainstream card being crippled by a retarded 128-bit bus (960), or not having async compute support (which happens every month).
Yet Nvidia is able to get away with their stream of colossal fuck-ups due to some entirely undeserved public perception that it is somehow good, even though it has the worst product on most price points.
We would all benefit if Nvidia could just die and some other company, maybe Intel or Qualcomm, take their place.
>>53835062
