NVIDIA doesn't go into any more detail other than to say it addresses "crashes with black screen" on its latest generation GPUs, but if you have an older card that is also crashing to a black screen, you might has well give it a whirl.

But what is a GPU? What are they good for? Join us for a layman's overview. A graphics processing unit (aka a GPU, graphics card, or video card) is a programmable electronic circuit designed to speed computer graphics and image processing.

There are more affordable GPU launches in the pipeline, and a prominent leaker has purportedly spilled the beans on some key specs.
