it's only a problem with specific desktop cards and won't afflict any laptop user (lapop use shared dissipation systems and the fan is managed by the bios usually). anyway the windows drivers has some additional issues compared to the previous beta driver (eg: mass effect 2 loading screen are doubled and i got 2 video card crash (the video stops being rendered for a long time ending in the video card has been restored....) + 1 bsod caused by nvidia drivers)

well i'd rather be safe than sorry, i don't have any way to upgrade my card if it goes bust as i STILL use agp... and ontop of that no money to get a totaly new system so... beter safe than sorry as i said, other than that thouse drivers ran fine on my old system but i'd rather wait for a new beta or new whql than risk anything.
