I've gone through a Linux Mint 15 installation. Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Windows 8 Pro. All of these with some form of a Nvidia driver, and the machine was unusable after a period of time because the screen blacked out more and more often until it would rarely come on.  It was unusable.  I put the same Geforce GT 610 card into my gaming station, and after a similar short period of time the same exact issue occurred.  At this point I was ready to give up and sign up for a warranty.  In remembering the warranty would be through EVGA and not Nvidia, I thought to check EVGA for drivers.  Sure enough, you do provide some Windows drivers on your website.  

Where's Linux support? And why does this EVGA card not work with Nvidia drivers?

I know EVGA provides their own drivers, so saying this support is okay, hardly seems like a good excuse.  I have a 5 year old EVGA GTX 260 that works flawlessly on the newest Nvidia drivers.  Why does the new EVGA card have issues? Granted the GTX 260 doesn't have HDMI, so HDMI is clearly an issue here.  I'm just tired of having a system that didn't work, having to go through all these tests.  And now being forced back to Windows when I wanted to try something new.  

This is due to a hardware problem, and has nothing to do with software. The drivers EVGA provides are exactly the same as NVIDIAs drivers except that they put them on their website so that their customers can find it easier.
