Anyone? :S I just wanted to know whether it will affect my systems performance much, cause I wouldn't like to download a huge driver file on my 56k if it isn't worth it.

nV News.net said:
Running any OpenGL game or app will work perfectly on a clean boot.
Running any OpenGL game or app after running any Direct3D game or app using any form of MSAA will cause the system to hang.

This issue only happens when a Direct3D game is using MSAA (2x, 2xQ, 4x).
It does not happen when using D3D apps with no AA or when using 8xS.

The hang appears to occur right at the point OpenGL is initialized.

Many users are experiencing this.
