Default NVIDIA 196.75 Drivers - don't install them

Same shit as last time: faulty fan control.

If you install them, you card might overheat and die.
If you already installed them, I suggest you revert to 196.21.

Last time, I thought they fucked up on purpose in order to boost their video cards sales as a counter to the economic crisis. But, since it's happening again 6 months later, I guess it's just that they are really incompetent... Either that or they are really fucking greedy and did it again thinking it would go unnoticed like last time. Well, too bad for them, they got caught this time.

Isn't it's like "11.9621" and not 196.21? At least it shows up for me like this...

Anyway, that would be VERY stupid of Nvidia to do the same mistake twice... I mean, does it really worthy to take such a risk on people's trust in their company for making really high quality products?
