In a recent revelation that should come to no surprise to anyone, Microsoft has released documents that show drivers for Nvidia PC graphics cards were the cause of roughly 29% of logged crashes in Microsoft's Windows Vista operating system. This story which was reported by Ars Technica, goes on to say that Nvidia drivers caused 479,000 crashes out of a total of 1,663,748 logged by Microsoft in 2007. This was closely followed by Microsoft's own drivers followed at 18% while ATI clocked in at fourth with 9.3%, and Intel was at fifth with 8.8%. This information came to light, when 158 pages of internal emails was made public as part of a lawsuit that is currently under-way against Microsoft. The suit contends that Microsoft was partially responsible for the rise of prices of computer hardware during the important Christmas/New year buying season of 2006. Given the fact that Nvidia is today’s easily the world’s largest manufacturer of discrete external graphical display solutions, their figure of 29 percent should come as no surprise. I personally was a victim of this as an Nvidia user. |
