NVIDIA Admits to Selling Faulty Mobile GPUs, Shares Plummet

[KainXS]

man, since ati released the 4850, nothing has been going right for nvidia, their drivers got hacked, they're graphics cards are getting dominated by 3 cards from the looks and now, their notebook gpu's are failing

kinda feel bad for em

hey look NV is down to $12.70 this is the loewst there stock has been in years

and for those looking at AMD its just a little down todays its been going up since the HD4K release

That was not the end of the bad news from NVIDIA either. It announced that it was facing a massive recall, due to overheating GPUs in notebook computers. NVIDIA reported higher than average failures in both the laptop GPUs and in laptop chipsets.

Recall = they already sold faulty parts.

I think I'm going to be sick

Maybe I should wait until the Q3 is over. This whole quarter looks like fools' gold to NV.

Yep, a good time to buy for people wanting to stick it out for a while and wait for the stocks to go back up. I just wish I got in on the stock back in 2004 when their prices were below $3.15. $12.70 is down a lot from what it was at yesterday, but when you look at it, it is still way up from where it was at a few years ago.

i think now is the time to buy AMD stock if anything NV stock will probably keep falling until novemeber or so (just my prediction)

If you're a NV shareholder, you are in a win-win situation. I made the final edit to the OP, NV announces that it's seeking insurance to cover that upto $200M that it could incur.

I would avoid both as any type of investment. Either one is going to have an extremely tough time making it through the next couple of years. Your going to see a lot of tech failures, mergers, buyouts etc. One of these companies will go bankrupt. If anything they would make a good short.

after tha AMD/ATi merger i doubt AMD will be the one getting swept under the mat there is to much they can do now even if they became a company similar to Via they would survive. Nvidia doesn't have the background AMD/ATi does to fall back on.

Hey Btarunr~
Any link to those drivers? Nvidia.com still shows January's 167 drivers. I'm interested since I just put a second nvidia card in my laptop.

do it yourself.

I'd be really wary of buying into those Nvidia stocks. Tech has been sitting high and mighty over the slowing economy. A pop like that is gonna send all the shareholders in a frenzy. In reality, they only have so much product on the market anyway. A spike in new investors will just allow to old investors to back out with less of a loss, causing even more loss for new guys. Mmm... I'd say if it hits 8$/share then get into it. By the look of things, they've been overinflated, and need to settle quite a bit lower.

Thanks for the heads up.

so this includes integrated graphics as well? My wifes laptop has an integrated nvidia gpu (like 6100g or something.) I sure hope that doesnt fail because that will suck.

Nah, over the last 8 yrs he has made me over 210 grand. I bought him a car for our 5 yr annv. If he say wait, I say how long. The stock market isn't written in stone but if he say the NV stock will steadily drop for another month, I believe him - but I still want to cash in while the in-ing is good

I agree.

Even though AMD's stock hasn't started to climb again, they've been fairly stable over the last few months - it will take some time for AMD to start showing any real gains again . . .

but, they're back on the right track as well - if AMD itself scores a hit with a new CPU offering by the end of the year, they'll defi be in great shape. It's kinda iffy right now on the CPU lineups, they're run into a lot of bad luck with the Phenoms, but I'm certain they've got something in the works aside from Fuzion.

I agree too. They are offering lower cost parts that offer comparable performance to that of Intel and Nvidia. Other than some stuff already in the pipeline I think these will be last high end consumer graphics cards we see for a while. The market for $300+ cards is going to all but evaporate as the economy disintegrates. I would say no one will thrive, but it is who can survive. Nvidia seems to be in a good position to fold first.
