Possible cause of the problems...

I saw this post earlier but I didn't verify why it until first now and it seams like the problems that nvidia has reported is infact on the graphics card in the new Mac Book Pro.

As you can see below this should be the same chip that is used in the new Mac Book Pro, the image taken from the Apple Store today.

I assume I should be glad that I returned the computer now so I didn't have to wait for a replacement graphics card and what not. It just feels a bit strange if it's over heating problems since I could reproduce the problem so consistently, not like what I would have expected of an over heating problem, but on the other hand, nvidia might prefer to call it an overheating even if there are other problems as well...
