Charlie Demerjian over at
TheInquirer says he has more information on that whole failing GPU fiasco
that NVIDIA is up to its neck in right now. According to the report, not only
are all G84 and G86 chips bad but the problem is also being reported in G92s and
G94 GPUs:
Well, the G92 chip is used in the 8800GT, 8800GTS, 8800GS, several mobile flavours of 8800, most of the 9800 suffixes, and a few 9600 variants just to confuse buyers. The G94 is basically only the 9600GT. Basically we are told all G92 and G94 variants are susceptible to the same problem - basically they are all defective. Any guesses as to how much this is going to cost?
So the question is: Is it true? Are they failing at abnormally high rates? If you have one of these Nvidia GPUs, please write your experience - please post a comment explaining what failed on you and how. Thanks.
