    EVERYONE should be telling others, other forums and venues about it. Sign the petition. Whether you are an AMD or Kepler or non Maxwell user, doesn't matter. We are all gaming and hardware enthusiasts. EVERYONE in this MSI forum should be raging that NVidia wants to tell users what they can and can't do with their hardware after paying enormous sums for it and desktop are still allowed to OC.

    Agree, and for what's it's worth have signed the petition. I do think we don't know the whole story from NVidia, such a lame excuse for what they've done to the drivers. Can't wait to see if we get any insider gossip about the whole affair in the future.

    I'm wondering, if the Maxwell's are just too good for NVidia's liking when overclocked?

    Well people power wins!! (possibly)

    It looks like NVidia have buckled and have released a statement that OC'ing will be reintroduced in future drivers! Get In!
