196.75 drivers fail it

Don't most nVidia cards have a hard-wired shutdown threshold set at 124 C?

I guess the GTX 275 doesn't, since that's what I use.
Just to be sure, I reloaded the newer driver and measured the temp again.
I was right. 151 C.

The most interesting question right now would be why it's *only*
those 3 Blizzard games. Bit too wierd for coincidence, no ?
Thankfully I play none of them, and the drivers are blazing fast.
Keepers for me, fix or not.

My .75 revision kept the GPU temp at 151 C. After reverting to the
earlier
version, my GPU temp is now 40 C. I don't play any games at all.

I'm sure you mean Fahrenheit...

40 degrees F? Doubt it. In my fridge, sure, but my desktop computer, not
without some serious cooling from a freezer.

Um... 151 C. = 304 F. Unless 151 C. was really a typo???


i got my 8600 gt went up to 200° C and something (gpu-z sensor) , noticed it
because nwn2 after some 10-15seconds of playing slow down to unplayable
speed.
the fan wasn't turning at all (not related to the drivers in my case), i
suppose that if i didn't try nwn2 i didn't notice the issue at all.

I suspect it's because they rely on their customers to complete the
testing of new versions.
