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.
This is just the sort of info I needed. Can't thank you guys enough. I don't mess with OCing anymore but who knows. At least now I know what to do if I want to give myself that option.
Thanks again.
Ok I've decided I'm going with the suggestion of the GTX 970 with the intel. platform. After reading up on the i7 -4790 I found it hard to pass on.
This is more than I was wanting at first but this may be the last upgrade I get for a long time so I want to future proof it a bit.
Still...
I guess because with AMD you usually get more bang for the buck. At least that's what I always thought. That's a good price on that i7 though. Thanks for the tip concerning the 970 and 980. I've pretty much settled on the 970. That is unless the 980 takes another dive in price before I make up...
Interestingly, concerning the negative reviews the GTX 560TI received on this thread, that card is the first major component upgrade I've done without first consulting with, or gleaning from the vast knowledge, and experience of Hardforum. I won't be making that mistake again.
Anyway, a new...
Thanks for all the advice. All very good points.
After reading this, I will most likely go with the new MB and CPU and the 970. Don't know if the 980 is worth the extra 200 bucks or so over the 970. I will study that more.
defaultuser, I do play with lots of add on mods, and the...
I'm wanting to get a faster Vidio card but I need a little help before deciding which one, or what to do first.
Reason for upgrade: Certain games low FPS and dragging. For example: Skyrim on ultra settings runs between 7 and 20 FPS most of the time and does some serious dragging and losing...
zrike, I don't think it has a listing of stores. You just use it like any search engine. Type in the product you're looking for and look for the links with the Live Cashback emblem beside it.
You can't use it for an item you bid on in an auction. At ebay you can only use it with the "Buy it...
Just thought you all might want an update. I went ahead and purchased the Powercolor 4870x2 that Lomic suggested.
I got a great deal on it just as he said using Live Cashback(($156.00), the Ebay coupon
(10%-$52.00) and the $20.00, mail in cash rebate. That's an amazing deal! I ended up...
Thanks. That's exactly what I did. It removed some files right off, then it didn't remove anymore after that. So I just closed it out. I assumed that the files would stay deleted but wasn't sure since I closed the program irregularly, before it finished it's whole process.
I'm using driver cleaner pro to clean ouy my nvidia drivers.. It starts up just fine and deletes several files and it then just sits there and does nothing. I waited as long as 30 minutes for it to finish but it just sits there and appearantly does nothing. No sign that it is still working. No...
I done a search on the E6600 and found this thread. I'm trying to tinker around with OCing it. Don't know if this is still relevant after all this time but my multiplyer is stuck at the stock setting of 9 as well. It has options from 6 to 15 but no matter what I set it on, after I save, exit and...
Imperfectlink, yeah I'm looking into OCing. :) I found out on the ATI forum I can get a lot more out of my system (cpu,ram) so I think I'm going to see if I can crank it up a bit. :)
