No need to bring-on the fanboi GPU bashing

I had more GPU restarts with the NVidia card I got rid of, than I ever get with this 3870. Seems like the NV would do it for no reason, whereas this 3870 will do it to me if there is an incompatibility with a gfx engine (i.e. Rappelz 4 w/ Adaptive AA is %100 reproducible VPU restart).

M$ dropped the ball here. In OSX [10.4+] the GPU restart is actually useful and only occurs when the program is actually locked-up, whereas on Vista it seems far too aggressive from my experience. This is regardless of GPU manufacturer...

Oh yea, +1 ZeBool
