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.
Got the card today and everything seems to be working quite smoothly. What benchmarks would be best? I would be more than happy to run some and share with everyone, least I could do. Let me know what you would like to see and I will do my best! Don't really have any new games to benchmark...

Ok, once again I thank everyone for their contributions, it has been very helpful. I have narrowed it down to a few cards, and this is what I am seeing:
eVGA 8800GTX 768MB Superclocked
eVGA GTS 250 1GB
Sapphire HD4850 1GB
The 4850 is like 15% more $$, what would you pick and why?
Thank you for the responses. Would you say a 4850 would be better than an 8800 GTX? I have found a couple of those used for around $50, but want to get the best I can...
I am in the process of a Sandy Bridge Z68 build right now, and am needing a video card. I know I can use the onboard and have been, but I would like to start doing some light gaming as I continue to add on (only so much cash on hand). I am wondering if you think $50 will be enough for a used...
