Don't you find it weird that most these cards have been around longer than a year but only now this arises. If this was true,nvidia users all over the world would have noticed and made big news yet it didn't and probably won't. So just relax and enjoy your hardware.]]>Aug 12th 2008 2:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-g92-and-g94-gpus-failing-too/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-g92-and-g94-gpus-failing-too/Aug 12th 2008 3:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-g92-and-g94-gpus-failing-too/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-g92-and-g94-gpus-failing-too/Aug 12th 2008 4:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-g92-and-g94-gpus-failing-too/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-g92-and-g94-gpus-failing-too/Aug 12th 2008 5:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-g92-and-g94-gpus-failing-too/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-g92-and-g94-gpus-failing-too/Aug 12th 2008 1:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-g92-and-g94-gpus-failing-too/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-g92-and-g94-gpus-failing-too/
I dont think Charlie @ L'inq (whose sole aim in life seems to be hating Nvidia) is a particular trusty source. Waiting for confirmation from some other news site. As of now everyone is just reporting about the Inquirer claim.

For a period of about 1.5 years, NV was very complacent.

Case in point, in Fall of 2006, NV launched the 8800 GTX.
In Spring of 2008 (a full 1.5 years later) NV launched the 9800 GTX, the supposed successor to the 8800GTX.
Ironically however, the 1.5 year old 8800 GTX was still just as fast as the 9800 GTX.
(Im aware that it was a new GPU, the G92, and the memory bus was changed as well -- a downgrade actually, but for all intents and purposes a name change is what it was, and they expected customers to pay more for it because it had a '9' in the name instead of an '8')

If that isnt complacency and trying to bank on uninformed customers, then I don't know what is.]]>Aug 12th 2008 2:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-g92-and-g94-gpus-failing-too/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-g92-and-g94-gpus-failing-too/Aug 12th 2008 2:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-g92-and-g94-gpus-failing-too/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-g92-and-g94-gpus-failing-too/@kiteless if anything did go wrong, don't expect Asus to do a damned thing.]]>Aug 12th 2008 2:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-g92-and-g94-gpus-failing-too/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-g92-and-g94-gpus-failing-too/Aug 12th 2008 1:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-g92-and-g94-gpus-failing-too/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-g92-and-g94-gpus-failing-too/Aug 12th 2008 1:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-g92-and-g94-gpus-failing-too/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-g92-and-g94-gpus-failing-too/Aug 12th 2008 1:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-g92-and-g94-gpus-failing-too/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-g92-and-g94-gpus-failing-too/

no, i believe that's refering to the desktop graphics card. heres where i got my info on the G96 core of the 9600M (notice the "M") GT.

i repeat, the 9600M (notice the "M") GT uses the G96 core.

I have had one die on me within a matter of 3 days, no overclocking, no excessive heat build up, just idling at the desktop at 53C when it decided to stop rendering all of a sudden.

There are entire forums full of threads where other people are reporting the same high failure rates for GTX 280's (just hit up Hardforum, nvnews, or just about any other major online forum and people are complaining left and right about how they are on their second or third units).]]>Aug 12th 2008 1:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-g92-and-g94-gpus-failing-too/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-g92-and-g94-gpus-failing-too/Aug 12th 2008 2:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-g92-and-g94-gpus-failing-too/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-g92-and-g94-gpus-failing-too/
If you had read beyond the first sentence that I wrote, rather than impetuously remarking, then my point would have resonated with you better.

As it stands, when my GTX 280 failed on me, I decided to peruse through a few other sites (the aforementioned [H]forum, nvnews, rage3D, anandtech, etc.) and I came to discover that hundreds if not thousands of forum members were on their 2nd and/or 3rd units.

Given NV's recent problems and the monolithic design of the GTX 280, (and given the fact that it hits 100+C on load like nobody's business), it doesn't really surprise me that my case is *NOT* an isolated one.]]>Aug 12th 2008 2:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-g92-and-g94-gpus-failing-too/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-g92-and-g94-gpus-failing-too/Aug 12th 2008 5:57PM
