Someone's investigating the possibility of a class action against them for defrauding users by claiming certification and being ill-prepared for emerging technologies.

Pissed at nVidia on their Vista support?

This news is about 3 months old.
Edit: Also, as a Vista/Nvidia 8800 user, I see both sides of it. To date, the best, most stable drivers for me are the 100.65 drivers. These weren't available when Vista was released (think it was 100.43 which had a few issues), but the (beta) drivers at release allowed me to run the OS just fine. I know SLI support has been iffy for some time, but frankly people who buy into that bullshit way to sell two video cards for a 10-15% increase in speed boggle my mind anyway. I don't think Nvidia has done the best job, but they've certainly done better than other hardware vendors, namely Logitech and Creative. I could also make the argument that Nvidia has a harder job than other people.
I think a lot of vendors advertised things as Vista ready or whatever and shouldn't have, but I think this lawsuit is bullshit.

Oh, my God; I care so little, I almost passed out.
You clearly have no idea of what correctly run SLI performs like. My SLI benchmarks are exactly twice as fast (within a percentage point) in 3DM06. Either way, are you saying those who purchase two cards deserve iffy support? Scratch that question, I don't want to argue such an irrelevant point.Noel wrote:but frankly people who buy into that bullshit way to sell two video cards for a 10-15% increase in speed boggle my mind anyway.
I agree that the lawsuit's bullshit, though. I've had my 8800 for a while and though I just got Vista yesterday I think the old drivers are way better.
