They can cause your fanspeed not to go above 20-30%, and thus overheating your card. Some people have reported dead cards already because of this.

AMD will most likely release a hotfix today.

Pretty sure this only affects those using overdrive (overclocking). I'm using Crimson and haven't seen any issues.

My BMS froze yesterday when I was 50 meters from the runway. Never ever had that happen to me before, so when I saw the article I put 2 and 2 together. Although, too many variables at the moment that could also have been the cause: BMS 4.33, W10, drivers.

Will monitor temps if I game tonight.

Didn't do the update myself, glad I waited. Finally installed W10 on my lappy. See how that goes.

Yeah, that happened once so far in about 90 hours flown. So I kinda attributed that to a BMS glitch. But once again, hard to know for sure.

How the f*** did you know what I fly in? :D

Oh yeah, the hotfix seems to be a beta driver really. But it's out now anyway.
