Don't feel too bad- the 5770 should be a great card. And while this is a fix, it is far from a perfect way to handle the trouble with the faulty NVIDIA drivers. I don't mean to diminish the work of those involved in finding this fix, as I along with many others have benefitted tremendously from this as this seems to be a fix (I've had this trouble for months now and intend on trying this fix in the next day or so once I have some free time). One thing I just want to mention is that my friend built nearly the same system as me minus a different card (he has a GTX-465) and has has a dual-monitor setup, yet he has never experienced any of these crashes and doesn't run a visualizer or anything. Any ideas as to why?!?
