Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I want to buy an 8800 GT. (As far as I've seen it is faster than the 9600 GT for only about $10 more). I read one review that the XFX 8800 GT is loud. What that just a bad card?
I'd prefer a quieter card to a loud one. Any advice?
