NVIDIA Investigating TDR Issues

[Oct 31, 2011, 10:10 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

A post by NVIDIA tech support to the NVIDIA Forums looking to address driver restart issues connected with the latest GeForce reference drivers (thanks Mashiki). While noting that they have "been able to reproduce the major Battlefield 3 issues and have marked this as must fix for the upcoming driver in November," they have not been able to reproduce TDR (driver reset) issues, and are offering to pay roundtrip shipping to evaluate cards from users in the U.S. Here's the deal:

R280.xx or later Firefox/IE9 TDR issue - We have ordered some of the retail graphics cards that have been mentioned in these threads to resolve this issue. However it would be of great help to us if anyone who is facing this problem can send us their graphics card to diagnose internally at our Santa Clara office since the cards we have been tested so far do not seem to show the TDR issues end users are reporting in this forum. We can pay for shipping both ways and I can probably get some free game codes to offer you for your time. Please PM if you would be willing to do so. You must be in the USA however since international shipping can complicate things.

nvidia still has better drivers than AMD. Ill take an occasional TDR over horrible performance/visual issues/blue screens/crap OpenGL support any day of the week. To be honest though - I have never gotten a TDR unless I was overclocking the snot out of my card. I always assumed it was a heat issue so I treated it like one. Slightly lower overclock and no more TDR.
