Not saying that it's widespread, it could just be the way I ran it that had it overload. But for a brand new card to die on the latest AAA (NVIDIA sponsored game) is bad news and needs to be aired. Even if it is just me and a handful of users who've seen it.
I completely agree with you. Yeah, NVIDIA wants to play it down; that's the way that PR works these days. I mean how many times have we seen a situation where a company says: "We take this very seriously..." and then doesn't do anything.

I'm not really one to disagree or agree with the way NVIDIA handles their potential issues but I do like transparency rather than attack articles which deny or TRY to prove everything in order to appease the PR folks or garner traffic. It seems like both are happening these days which makes it hard for consumers to decide which stance to take.

Stating the obvious is the next thing I'll do. Products die or something goes bump in the night which screws things up. That's why there are RMA services and warranties. At this point though it looks like NVIDIA was dealing with a seriously half baked OCP on pre-release drivers rather than a widespread hardware problem.
