  Love fried chips
  
  I checked the fan speed on my 260GTX (OC 725/1200) while running Furmark. 196.75 is running fine and scaling the fan speed exactly as I programmed in Rivatuner. So, no worries for Rivatuner users.

  I wonder if this driver issue also effects the QuadroFX line of cards....

  looks like it does effect the QuadroFX line too. Nvidia pulled the new driver and rolled back to 191.87 WHQL

  You can try Rivatuner. Here is how I did (last two posts).

  Wonder if these users will get compensated for their fried GPU.

  Maybe a 6-pack ketchup?

  Oh boy. Another reason for me to be happy that I jumped ship and bought a Radeon 5770 a couple weeks ago.

  Let's not pretend like ATI's drivers are all sunshine and roses. They're not ruining hardware, but they're plenty shitty all the same. I'm pretty disappointed with both companies lately.

  I would be curious to know if any of the roasted GPU's were not OC'd. This would fall back to the term "OC at your own risk". It would also give the company a loop hole to fall in and avoid replacing the cards. I know this is a shitty way to do business but you know how companies are.
