"NVIDIA has admitted to a killer bug in all GeForce 8800GTX/GTS cards, and will recall all affected cards and replace them. 'An NVIDIA engineer, who wishes to remain anonymous, has just clued us in on the whole deal. This engineer claims that while allegations of poor gaming performance are correct, the reason is not really poor drivers. Brace yourself for the truth: Right after the G80 was taped out, NVIDIA discovered a bug in the vertex shader that causes the GPU to generate slightly incorrect geometry transformation data. The difference was minimal enough to escape attention but it was significant enough to render a scene incorrectly.' The article also links to a secret website which will allow gamers to purchase Nvidia cards at cost."

What makes you stupid is posting lies on your news site just because it's "April's Fool's day" or something of that sort.
Never pull a prank on suv4x4. Instead of laughing, suv4x4 will whine and complain about the "lies" you told.
Never watch The Simpsons with suv4x4. Instead of enjoying a good show, suv4x4 will complain about Bart Simpson still looking 10 years old, even though he should be about 30 years old by now (debut on Tracy Ullman show in 1987).
Never invite suv4x4 to any parties. Suv4x4 is guaranteed to be a downer.
For fuck's sake! It's April 1st. Lighten up, suv4x4. And choose a less stupid nickname (unless you're mocking SUV owners. If you are, great nick dude!).
