Supposedly, they are causing fans to malfunction and the cards to ultimately overheat and become damaged. I haven't had any trouble since I always crank my fan to 100% in rivatuner, but i'm downgrading to be safe.

I blame blizzard, anyway.

While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.}

I was having even more problems with the "display driver stopped responding and has recovered."

Running them at the moment, card is running at 70°C running BC2 from a normal of around 60°C so I really couldn't care less about the so called card killing drivers.

Aw shit, I would update them last nigh without seeing this -.-

Everything seems fine though, except when I open up the nvidia control panel and system info to see the driver version it stays blank =/

No worries there, I'm on 180.48.

Is there any real point in upgrading the driver for a 9500GT?

Doesn't have to be. There's still a lot of stuff going on in that game sometimes.

Wow runs on integrated Intel graphics from 2005. Your argument is invalid.

If anything, it's slightly CPU intensive. CPU intensive as in that you need an expensive P4.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
