I think it is if you have a gtx280 or similar older card. I'm just trying out 195.62 on a card I was simply trying to get a snapshot of it dying, and it won't now using the newest 195 driver. If its sick I'll see it soon, but my dam 280 is running everything I can throw at it now. If it was the driver, I'm going to be really really pi**ed. The earlier 195 drivers were cr*p. But still, too much support for gtx275 ect, and they forget those of us that spend $500 on gtx280s. Still think my 280 is kaput, but amazing what drivers can do when they want to make them!

WTF with the newest driver 195.62 suddenly real temp shows that my card is 0 Celsius cold and MSI Afterburner suddenly spins my GPU fans up to 100% although Riva Tuner shows it to be only 35 Celsuis, not the way i programmed the fan to behave!
Although i noticed that my card run very much cooler with the newest driver :) so i decided to install Win7 x64 instead of my Win7 x32 to see if that corrects the bugs...

Ok with Win7 x64 i dont have this problems anymore, Real Temp shows correct temps and MSI Afterburner spins up fans correctly although still this driver doesnt spin up to fan by itself, might be a bios issue with my card that it is stuck at 40% :banghead:

Btw i use the latest versions of Real Temp and MSI Afterburner

This is a very bad driver if you have a gtx280, go straight to the 195 whql. This driver caused me grief you can not imagine, do not use it!!! I can verify this very much!
