If you're the type to watch the late stock tickers, you might have noticed that NVIDIA's stock just took a pretty big hit, down 24 percent to $13.56 -- that's because the company just informed investors that "significant quantities" of previous-generation graphics chips have been failing at "higher than normal rates," and that it's lowering its Q2 estimates due to pricing pressure.

I'm not knocking Nvidia, I just thought members of the forum might be interested in the article and should check their GPUs in their laptops if they are using Nvidia GPUs.

I take it ours work and have no reason to care or complain. They haven't even released a list of which laptops and GPU's are affected.

685209 2008-07-04 08:11:00 Apparently that is coming. There has been a lot of discussion about the fact that NVidia hasn't listed which models are affected which is making a lot of gamers pissed off. vitalstatistix (9182)
