To attribute this most recent failure to an overabundance of hardware variety is a joke. This issue persists on all Nvidia and Intel cards. Why? Because it's an oversight pertaining to one thing they all share in common: their shared interaction with DirectX.

Let me repeat myself for the people in the back. The number of items they had to account for with this failure is one. One API.
