The current generation of Nvidia graphics cards has already gone through many trials. Problems at the start of sales, exorbitant prices, customer dissatisfaction due to insufficient video memory – and this is only a small part of the difficulties. Moreover, the situation was aggravated by numerous problems with drivers, including problems with temperature display, unstable operation, black screens and a number of other failures.
