Nvidia MCP73 known issues

Bumpgate

These cards are likely to suffer a premature failure due to the defective 90nm process node from TSMC used back in the day, where the die underfill used was inappropriate for the chip design.

On Nvidia GPUs it mainly affects all 90/80/65 and some 55 nm GPUs (the A revisons of G9x and GT200 chips).

You can see a very detailed explanation of this issue by RIP Felix on YouTube
