I have read recently that the tide is turning against nvidia. Unfortunately I cannot remember the link to the story. I wish I could go back to old crappy cards where life was simpler and drivers did not cause problems. I am having major problems with my Nvidia on upgrade to Intrepid. Once I got it working it was working perfectly under Hardy though. If you are playing on the edge then don't use Nvidia.
