Also that everyone thinks to say "me too" on existing bugs, even when 
their problem is likely to not be the same bug at all.  So, here's a PSA:

Please file unique driver bugs every time.

I'm much happier to have to duplicate things myself, than to have to 
close a bug from A and have B reopen it because B is using a different 
generation card but experienced a similar problem.
