WoW - WARNING Issue with new NVIDIA drivers!
Posted Fri, Mar 05, 2010 by Cyrak
If you are using an NVIDIA video card please take note of the following warning from Blizzard:
Datth (Link)We're getting reports where users are getting intermittent low FPS after installing these drivers. It seems that it is related to the fan control included in these drivers not working correctly and is causing the video card to overheat on 3D applications. This will affect Warcraft 3, World of Warcraft and StarCraft 2 Beta. Please uninstall the drivers and revert back to the older ones.
