Don't know about anyone else, but when I buy a nVidia card again I'm going straight for their 'current' high-end

I was hoping the nVidia of old had changed, I'm still holding out a little hope that they'll set things straight (not holding my breath though!).
I suppose it all trickles down from the top...

I just wish there was some more info on 8GB cards around. I do not under any circumstances want to go to AMD.

Surprised that you would even encourage them by giving them more money.Don't know about anyone else, but when I buy a nVidia card again I'm going straight for their 'current' high-end

Tbh I've had plenty of nVidia cards in the past and been very happy with them. I always go with the best 'bang-per-buck' card at that present time.
They'll take a battering in regards to their reputation but they will learn from this (just like they learned from bumpgate), so I can never completely rule them out

Not yet
But yes, it looks like nVidia is playing chicken and letting the manufacturers take the bullet
How very moral of them

Asus.... dont get me started on them...
MSI could do what EVGA are doing... strengthen brand loyalty etc. If they decide not to then why should i consider them again, i would choose EVGA.
Is this industry brand loyalty means more than just short term gain.

That will be Asus, and now MSI, and Nvidia products off my buying list.AtreuS said:If true its MSI off my list forever. Like asus.... damn im gonna run out of manufacturers soon
Nvidia just brushing this aside like it's nothing, swindling muppets. Will stick with AMD (ATI) cards from now on, don't care if they run hotter or use more electricity, no B.S from them, at least you get what it really is.

That is actually very true.
And for some reason, brand loyalty is far stronger than in other industries.
Gigabyte are also not currently playing ball, which is a real shame. I love gigabyte motherboards but this is disappointing.

Asus are a load of crap when it comes to customer service. I use to always buy the brand of past, but I defo avoid these days.

Nvidia have WITHDRAWN the statement declaring a driver can FIX the problems"!!
