NVIDIA’s Drivers Caused 28.8% Of ALL Vista Crashes In 2007

Source: WikipediaFor shame Nvidia! Slashdot is reporting on information which surfaced in a recent Vista-capable lawsuit, that last year 28.8% of all Vista crashes were because of Nvidia’s poor G80 drivers.

NVIDIA had significant problems when it came time to transition its shiny, new G80 architecture from Windows XP to Windows Vista. The company’s first G80-compatible Vista driver ended up being delayed from December to the end of January, and even then was available only as a beta download. In this case, full compatibility and stability did not come quickly, and the Internet is scattered with reports detailing graphics driver issues when using G80 processors for the entirely of 2007. There was always a question, however, of whether or not the problems were really that bad, or if reporting bias was painting a more negative picture of the current situation than what was actually occurring.”
