This news seems a little over the top... I can't see G92 and G94 cores being bad. Seeing as the majority of people own those cores (on forums like these anyways) we would be hearing so many problems by now from them.

Yah we would be seeing more failures as we stress our cards more than normal users.

I'm pushing mine pretty hard. 2 weeks and no failures yet.

If Nvidia's stock keeps falling (under 5 or 6 bucks), make sure you buy some. They won't be down forever.

I'm calling partial BS, no doubt there's some truth to this... But I have not seen or heard of many G92s(GTS anyway) failing. Hell, I've gamed (and folded several days) for hours with mine @ 810/2052/2248 on stock cooling. I think this more of the same from that douche Charlie, controversy and outright BS sells...

If there is absolutely no shred of truth to his G92/G94 claims could this article be construed as libel?

Why can't people realize that just because you haven't had a problem doesn't mean its not there. Anyway the problem seems to be there for the G84 and G86 so this may be true. If it is the :turd: is hitting the fan now.

The problem is constant heating and cooling cycles they go through(why laptop GPUs are failing first). Not Being real hot.
