People are so "sue" happy these days...Stocks rise and fall with companies everyday...now a stockholder(s) wants to sue them? She and the "others" knew the so called risks involved with buying stock. Now she's throwing a fit because things aren't going the way she and her cronies planned? Because there was a defect? A defect that Nvidia admitted to and didn't deny...A defect that was traced to manufacturer's error if memory serves me correctly...Why not sue that factory? Hey folks, here's a little flash for ya..DEFECTS HAPPEN!! ..I'm no "fanboy", it just that it makes me sick how many lawsuits are filed at the drop of a dime by people looking for a window of opportunity to make someones error a means and excuse to empty their pockets..:shadedshu..Pricks

If a mod doesn't clean this up, it'll be sad. I've had posts completely deleted on here for far, far less. :shadedshu

Come on -- this is supposed to be the news section.

And pentastar -- shareholders doing what they do when a company doesn't perform is a time-honored tradition. Sometimes it's just voting out the board -- sometimes its a lawsuit. Without that kind of shareholder power, the economy wouldn't work quite right. :rolleyes:

Done with the cleanup.

lol this whole thing is crazy, so she wanted nvidia to announce to shareholders only that there was a problem? insider trading anyone? so she's suing nvidia for not doing something illegal. wow that's a new one.

nvidia would have had to make an announce ment to aib partners, shareholders, and final end users to avoid getting slapped with an insider trading suit. telling your shareholders only when things happen means they have time to sell at 18$ a share on july 2. and buy at $10.85 a share 2 weeks later. hence illegal.

and I'm with btarunr, she wants nvidia to pay her so that their stocks will go down further? :wtf:

all in all totally crazy.

I have seen much worse defects in motherboards and nobody sued Asus, ECS, ad biostar. Its funny DOA is more excused than something breaking down over time. Components wear out eventually, at what point is undurable a defect?

_jM · Sep 11, 2008

Above all the non-sense .. I personally think its quiet funny that a major (leading) GPU manufacture with all that income and the fact that NVIDIA is the top seller and has been. Is now marketing faulty GPUs. GO ATI =]

Oh and i just purchased 200$ in shares !!! hahahah i love my accountant!

Do you get a laptop from say Acer that turns out to be DOA? These are branded products that have defective GPUs (in large quantities) and all coming from the same source, NVIDIA.

i love it... people sit on their ass, eatin a cheeseburger, clicking on some stocks, and bam--they have $20,000 profit.... from no work whatsoever, just like playing a game....

but when they find out they made a shitty investment... they start crying and wanna sue... how bout invest elsewhere, or do some actual research before the 4800 series comes out.... hahah...

damn cry-babies. i'd love to see how well they do against nvidias lawyers.

I have only bought one prebuilt system in my life so personal experience says 1 out of 1. Not enough data presented for that one. :laugh:

AMD's stock is awful right now if thats what you are suggesting buying.

Only tech stock worth it in our field right now is Intel despite lacking advancements at the moment they are still doing very well.

Personally, I rather challenge NVIDIA to a "yo mama" fight instead of being a whiny bitch with a lawyer lol. They will definitely be screwed there as they only know good graphics card naes like "Yo mama is so stupid that she is dumber than my nForce 100 chipset"

If something doesn't make sense it's usually a good idea to look into it a bit further before coming to any conclusions. From above, ""The truth is that, at least as early as November 2007, NVIDIA and the other defendants have known about these unprecedented failure rates as well as their 'root causes',"" and the first point from the linked pdf;

Plaintiff so alleges individually and on behalf of all persons and entities (the "Class") who purchased or otherwise acquired the common stock of NVIDIA Corp. ("NVIDIA" or the "Company"), between November 8, 2007, and July 2, 2008, inclusive (the "Class Period").

The people included in the suit are those who bought the stock after Nv supposedly found out about the problem but didn't disclose it (up until they disclosed the problem and their estimate of the cost to fix the situation). So there wouldn't actually be any insider trading... I'd assume their beef is Nv sold them that stock supposedly knowing that there was this problem that would be costing them a significant amount, and that in keeping the problem under wraps I'd imagine the contention is probably that Nv decieved them similiar to how a used car salesman might sell someone a car that they know is a lemon with out telling them about the problems for the sake of moving the product at a higher price (in this case, NV stock at $18 rather than $10)

ALL chips are affected, since they're basically the same. Laptop GPUs are more affected because they have to go through more temperature variations, and that's what kills nvidia chips.

DaedalusHelios said:
The only gpu's I have had die on me were Ati. So the laptop angle only makes since to me.

obviously these 2 are fanboys :laugh:

well about the DOA Issue, Customers wont complain aslong as the company covers it and sends them a Known Working Unit.

niko084 · Sep 12, 2008

Wow....

Wonder if this has anything to do with the over 20 8400/8500's I've rma'd in the last 4 months....

Or the 10 or so notebooks I have rma'd....

Is it safe to buy a laptop with mobile 8200?

From what I have been fixing, it was mostly affecting the 6150 IGP.

xfire · Sep 12, 2008

HAs Nvida put up a list anywhere about the ones affected? Are the new ones still having the problem?
@eidairaman1 we don't know each other in person.
