Each new update lately has caused more problems with my games than the prior release. I don't know what they're doing up there at Nvidia's driver design department, but they certainly aren't bug testing very much.

Is it just me or are software manufacturers doing hardly any bug testing in general and just releasing software to have the end user "bug test" the product and give them feedback so they can patch it (but only if they sold a certain amount of the product... otherwise.. forget it).

My point exactly. I quote myself from above:

1. Where are the driver updates for their 8800's? How long has it been? Every GPU has issues with some game or another, so driver updates monthly are mandatory, as well as updates for further performance improvements. ATI can manage this monthly, so why not NVidia? Where is the support? I want a driver update for an 8800 GTS, but I guess I'm SOL. They haven't made any since LAST YEAR!!!!
