NVidia shows calorie of blemish disaster and all jotter manufacturer

August 20, 2008

Time of Beijing of dispatch of sina science and technology on August 2 message, according to foreign media coverage, regard the whole world as one of two the biggest firms that show clip, NVidia is facing unprecedented crisis currently. Because the banner issues G84 and G86 series to show,block existence blemish, bring about HP, Dai Er and associate many 1800 product that waits for main PC manufacturer is affected. The message says, NVidia had planned the lash-up fund of 200 million dollar, but whether squaring this crisis is returned is an unknown.

　　 G84 and G86 jotter show card to have drawback

NVidia is at the beginning of July admit, the core that partial G84 and G86 series jotter show clip / enclose material to combine existence flaw, like pit heart temperature change rises and fall more frequent, may cause trouble, appear line of multiple image, random character, freely, wait for a kind without video signal or a variety of phenomena.

Recently, NVidia make to partial hearsay again following and clear: 1) has problem of occurrence quality of set of chip of one fraction jotter only, and table machine product is insusceptible; 2) has fraction only this kind of problem has appeared on the jotter product of shipment. And, quality problem depends on environmental temperature, machine setting and utility.

Up to now, NVidia still did not disclose specific what product suffers this effect. But from the user feedback looks, the type showing clip that suffers an effect basically is: G84 series - 8300GS, 8400GS, 8400M G, 8400M GS, 8400M GT and 8500GT; G86 series - 8600GS, 8600GT, 8600GTS, 8600M GS, 8600M GT and 8700MGT.

　　 18 million jotter suffer an effect

Go one year half lis, the whole world estimates work off the jotter that NVidia G84 of 18 million configuration and G86 series show clip, they are faced with taller indication to give wrong machine rate. HP, Dai Er, associate, apple, Suo Ni and the jotter of a variety of model that other jotter produces business are affected.

Among them, HP suffers the product model of the influence to basically be: HP Pavilion series, Dv20xx, Dv21xx, Dv22xx, Dv23xx, Dv24xx, Dv60xx, Dv61x, Dv62xx, Dv63xx, Dv64xx, Dv90xx, Dv92xx, Dv93xx and Dv94xx.

Compaq Presario series, V30xx, V31xx, V32xx, V33xx, V34xx, V60xx, V61xx, V62xx, V63xx and V64xx.

Dai Er suffers influence product model to be: Inspiron 1420, Latitude D630, Latitude D630c, Precision M2300, Vostro Notebook 1310, Vostro Notebook 1400, Vostro Notebook 1510, Vostro Notebook 1710, XPS M1330 and XPS M1530.

　　 Solution

If recall these jotter, NVidia will contributive 150 million to 200 million dollar, and charge of other in part will pay by OEM manufacturer. This imply HP, Dai Er and associate business of production of 3 big jotter needs to take out dollar of several ten million.

Then, PC manufacturer people sought an eclectic means: Update BIOS. Dai Er and HP had released the new BIOS that suffers influence jotter. BIOS will increase the frequency of jotter fan newlier, stabilize GPU temperature.

　　 Censure by the user

To this, the user that wear Er says: “The patch software of open fan is not a kind of appropriate solution, the service life that I worry about the XPS notebook computer that spends 2000 dollars to buy can shorten because of this. The service life that I worry about the XPS notebook computer that spends 2000 dollars to buy can shorten because of this..

Still the user says: ” Dai Er does not change the element that has a problem, let you open fan however, reduce batteries service life and increase noise. I aux would rather uneasiness installs this BIOS to upgrade, etc when giving an issue, be maintained again. I think, although happen,passed to guarantee when the problem period, dai Er also should be maintained freely, because this is already approbatory produces limitation. Because this is already approbatory produces limitation..

　　 Whose over- ?

Say according to NVidia, as a result of,breakdown is flimsy brilliant yuan / the material that pack causes, bring about chip to the likelihood fluctuates as GPU temperature and fail. Original, NVidia pushs this fault the stage to accumulate report. NVidia says: ” enclosing material is offerred by stage accumulating report. ” enclosing material is offerred by stage accumulating report..

Subsequently, NVidia came to 360 degrees turn greatly, say: ” from go up at all tell, we should be responsible to this. We not blame stage accumulates report, because material is we are bilateral and affirmatory. Because material is we are bilateral and affirmatory..

And spokesman of stage accumulating phone says: ” this issue is very complex, involve a lot of aspects, but each just are in at present close cooperation, strive for solve this problem better.
