Maybe TS is damn right Nvidia's stock bloodbath - company admits faulty chips, shares plunge 22% : http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/38237/135/QUOTE Santa Clara (CA) – Nvidia is admitting that some of its notebook chips are failing at “higher than normal rates†in a new filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The chip failures will cause Nvidia to take a $150 to $200 million charge this quarter to cover what it calls “warranty, repair and return and replacement†for laptops with unspecified Nvidia graphics chips and chipsets. In after hours NASDAQ trading, Nvidia (stock symbol NVDA) plunged 21.94% or $3.95 to $14.08 a share. The stock had been down as much as 25% after the close of regular trading on Wednesday July 2nd 2008. |

Looks like Desktop GPU affected as well QUOTE What it boils down to is the solder material between the chip and the packaging being sub-standard. Issues only occur if the GPU is heated up and cooled down repeatedly, much as it would be in a laptop that's trying to keep a fine balance between fan noise and heat. This results in the solder becoming brittle, and in the end it cracks and this will cause the GPU to fail. http://www.fudzilla.com/index.php?option=c...d=8730&Itemid=1TS please update the topic title..include the desktop news as well |

QUOTE(titarium @ Aug 24 2008, 11:57 PM) I am prepare to purchase a laptop with Nvidia 9600M GS chipset, is this batch affected ? I am lookign forward for this as is it the cheapest in it's range anything base on G92 / G94, try to avoid that for a moment...until nvidia clearly state that G92/G94 is safe to buy |

QUOTE(titarium @ Aug 25 2008, 06:24 PM) is 9600M GS a G92/G94 or any chance it relates to G84/G86 currently all GeForce 9 series is base on G92 chips (for 9600GT, they use G94 chips), same case goes to GeForce 8600/8400, they also use G92 chips |
