Ive taken the liberty of trying to inform the community of the following problems with nVidia geforce drivers and the issues with GTX400 series cards, also known as Fermi.
Nvidia has said they are not happy with gtx480 series. And they hope to make an even better card for their next generation/shrink of the current generation. lets hope they succeed and dont stumble like they did with this generation in regards to power envelopes, heat and prices.
the following are some problems that need attention and that potential buyers should be aware of:
GTX 480 will not boot into Windows:

Please notice that i belived creating one topic on the forums for each of these problems would be best. But after some consideration, i thought this was the correct way of addressing and informing the community of the faults with GTX400 series of cards and the nVidia drivers, which seem to be plummeting with this generation of cards. Lets hope they get better, soon.
I fail to see the value in someone googling for random GTX400 problems and posting them up.
If you want to discuss something specific then do so, but this thread looks suspiciously like baiting, so I’m locking it.
