Everything from disappearing textures in games to no roads in RenderWare based GTA games. I've been using nvidia cards since almost the beginning. I had an original RivaTNT and the original Windows 98. I remember their very first "Detonator" driver release. Every official release from nvidia (not leaked betas) has been rock solid. Even the GeForce 8 in my PC and the 9400M in my MacBook both have more solid drivers than any ATI card I've ever used. ATI/AMD will basically have to walk on water before I can believe they have finally released a good driver for their GPUs. |

If we're talking pre 4800 series graphics cards, then yes it was quite obvious Nvidia had the ability to hand ATI their arse on a silver platter when it came time to put out unified drivers, though to say ATI is still behind is lacking modern experience. |
