but the point is people with the nf200 chipset installed this driver and subsequently had hardware failures as a result.
evga was able to replicate the problem..
this isnt an isolated issue its worldwide.. so sure run the driver with your nf200 chipset and if it fries your setup and you did nothing else but update the driver... hmmm its kinda obvious what caused it.. dont you think?
so yeah you go and tell all the people who have had problems with their systems as a direct result of this driver and the nf200 chipset that all they need to do is rma it and move on.. ill sit back and eat popcorn when the bloodbath starts..

#2Problem - the 191.07 drivers increases power draw. But not to a dangerous extent. Unless you have your card OCed very high. at my clocks of 774 on the gtx 285, it was enough to cause a spike and fritzed the card out. Strangely enough Nothing smelled funny. The cards just "died". In Iride4u's case, i believe instead of his cards giving, his PCIE/nf200chip on the board gave in.
When i tested with stock working GT8800s the spike on the voltmeter wasnt even there (though there was a bit of gain on the meter it can be accorded to a mechanical rounding).
Suggestion - stay away from these drivers if youve got some crazy OC going like me. These are indeed ticking timebombs. The more you stress it at a go the more probably you give the spikes to occur at high OCs. in my case. OCCT and constant furmark did it.
