Obviously you don't remember the GTX 590 lol.
But wait you could have a good point. The drivers were fine on a PC, things just went wrong when you added a GTX 590 to the system and the whole lot went up in smoke lol.
The GTX 590 is a design classic - It is the only graphics card where you did not get a free game with it, you got a free fire extinguisher instead !!!!
But then NVidia did not sit on their laurels they brought out a sequel to the above mess, they delivered the 320.xx family of drivers that did not just blow up one SKU, it was good to trash several different kinds of older SKUs.
You have got to hand it to NVidia, once they include a special feature in their drivers they do like to make it even more effective with subsequent releases.
