I've been gaming and have had an interest in having nice hardware since the quake 2 days, (1997ish) and have had tons of pc's and various configurations. I've owned many, many different video cards. I have been troubled by the lack of stability for awhile now but never to this degree.
I don't think any current video card by Ati or Nvidia is in anywhere close to an acceptable state. I could list all the various problems all these cards have but instead I'll just point you to both of their official forums and this site.
If you are a person who plays a variety (seriously stfu if you want to argue and only play 2 pc games frequently) of pc games or uses your pc for complex home theater setups you know what I'm talking about.
I believe it boils down to one issue.... the fps (frames per second not first person shooter) race. The problem is that many review sites will simply dismiss game issues as something that will for sure be fixed while doing a review, and continue on to fps as the main focus.
What I propose; calling these companies out if ANYTHING happens on any major game that's out, and not recommending anyone buy the card till the issues are fixed, and giving bugs just as much value as fps.
Thoughts?
