a driver killing hardware? thats a first, i wouldnt really take that seriously besides a couple of isolated incidents. And im sure it didnt take months to fix it.

If you have time, read the [H] thread, it's quite amusing.

you mean those drivers from october 2009? its now jan 2010 and new ones have come out. LOL i love when people really really reach to try and post something to downplay another company. Because im sure EVERY ati release was perfect right? Jesus people....

Yes, the one that everybody used when Windows 7 was released.
If your card got fried because the driver decided to up the voltages, you wouldn't be happy. Doesn't matter if it's today or 4 months ago.

And no, both companies suck with their drivers. Maybe you missed my other post in this very thread.

Yeah, sure, more quantity instead of quality... They don't need more people, maybe 1 or 2 that are very skilled at this but that's really hard to find since VGA's are really complex compared to other hardware and ATi (AMD), nVidia are top companies for that.

You have a point there, but releasing a driver with the wrong numbering? Doesn't take a genius to check stuff like that.
