Re: nVidia 8700/8800/9600/9800 chips are failing across the board

lol.......

i cant say i have heard about that many 8800s being RMA'd maybe a few DOAs
but the 8800 is the most widely used card on the forums..
if it was a real problem i think we would have had more horror stories...
I can agree here I have an 8800GT and it performs flawlessly and I have been using Nvida for a while ever since ATi started using substandard fan assembly parts for their cards(I had 3 ATi cards all fail due to bad fans and bearings in those fans) and I am religious about keeping my components dust free.

My wifes computer a little older than mine uses a 7800GS OC and it again performs perfectly. So for me theres really no reason to get all hot and bothered over this kind of report until it has some effect on me personally.
