Looks like it's blocked on driver level, rather then bios, see more information here

Pretty sad . Any chance on near future to bypass driver limitations?

Of course Nvidia had a larger GPU market share at the time vs ATI, so they were probably closer in relative terms re driver crashes.
Re "drivers which burn the card up", it was one errant driver that was quickly pulled which had a fan controller issue. My card survived it just fine.

I remember very clearly reading 40%, but the number is not that important so I won't waste time in looking it up again, point is of course that they all do a bad job from time to time.
I had tons of trouble with rx480 when cloning the screen to the TV and then turning it off after the movie and it took AMD something like 6 months to fix it, but now my 5700 works just fine so I'll keep it for at least one more year unless I absolutely need raytracing.

Microsoft was the cause of 99% of those crashes.

Nah, many simply released crap drivers.
I certainly remember for once having major trouble with Creative Labs soundcard drivers, but as I liked XP more than Vista it didn't really matter that much anyway.

Soundcard drivers from Creative. Those were troubling times..

And the worst is Creative never really fixed them. I eventually had to install home made drivers by some random guy to stop getting the crackle pop problem with my X-Fi Platinum card under Vista.
