Ohh.. now I see!
Nvidia, at least had their "bricKING" drivers on time! Just as scheduled!
That's ridiculous. There is no solid evidence that the drivers were "bricking" cards D:
All you have is hearsay. I don't even think drivers can brick a card. What likely happened is that some people were running modified BIOS with unstable settings, and the driver exposed those issues because new drivers will tap into hardware features in more aggressive ways.
But they don't brick cards... That's absurd..
Denial, it's not just a river in Egypt anymore.
