April Fool:

Well, the engineer isn't too sure what NVIDIA marketing has in mind, but s/he thinks it will be one of the following "solutions" that they have been throwing around the last few weeks :


NVIDIA might recall all affected cards and replace them with GeForce 8900 GTX/GTS cards when they are released in the "near future".

NVIDIA might recall all affected cards and replace them right away with GeForce 8600 Ultra/GTS cards, and offer those affected a free day-trip to NVIDIA HQ and lunch with NVIDIA CEO and President, Huang Jen-Hsun.

and more on page 2, there is no secret page, it's just page TWO

BWWWAAHAHA.


I read this article last night and laughed my ass off. Not because of how funny it was, but because I knew it would end up being posted here as fact.

:rofl


There was another good one on that site for April Fools, but I forget what it was...

I wish it were a joke, I was already contacted about the replacement proceedure. They want the current card back first, then they will ship out the new one. What a load of crap...
