Woe is Nvidia (poem)



Woe Is Nvidia

Oh nv4_disp.dll
Why must you crash so very hard
Why is the Nforce chipset so
Incompatible with this card
The now regretted switch from ATI
To the 7600GT
It's an Nvidia card
An Nvidia chipset
Specifically Nforce 3
So why then don't you have a driver
That supports this combination
Why no package with a bridge controller
To finish my frustration
Why a card that fails so hard
There's not even time to dump
Oh why did I, leave ATI
I feel like such a chump
It wouldn't be so bad perhaps
If it hadn't cost so much money
Oh Nvidia I bet you're laughing now
I'm glad you find it funny
Because I've had enough "exception not handled"
And "thread stuck in infinite loop"
I put it to you your driver support
Is a steaming pile of poop!
So as we crash again I grab my pen and screaming, gouge out my eyes
Never again Nvidia! From now on, only ATIs!

  1. This may as well be written in Greek for all the sense it makes to me, but I do understand, and relate to, the overall theme of wanting to throw a pc out the window (yes, yes, a small part of it ok)...but I now know not to go near anything called Nvidia!

  2. hehe yeah :) But Nvidia cards are not THAT bad K, it is just Charon was unlucky enough that Nvidia fucked it up in the combination of an obviously not well enough chipset called "Nforce 3" (on his mainboard)

    Personally i possess 3 Video cards of Nvidia (2 of em in my old pc's) and they worked well enough. Just some video driver issues with a few games but that happens with ATI cards too (one of my neighbours has an ATI card i bought for his multimedia pc and that card gave me headaches too). So it is a close tie.

    Okay enough of this computer babble ;)
