How to put this. You are right kind of. The drivers are not that bad really. They have allot more time to get it working than you think. The tearing and stuff is because of the massive overclock they put on the cards from the factory and some of the other low level hard ware issues I mentioned.

This card actaully has very mature drivers. Oh and one other thing those drivers were optimized for the reviews. So some of the tearing can be atributed to overly optimzed drivers.

I think that you will find when the nv35 comes out it will be more of what you wanted. Nvidia took a gamble on allot of fronts and this time around they made just about every wrong choice they could for the time. The good thing is that they have allot of engineering under thier belt now and they are painfully aware of the shortcommings of the nv30. This will give them a good map of what to do for the nv35 to get it just right and it will be more of what you expect from nvidia.
