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.

For the life of me I can't get this to work.
I just got a new Dell 2405FPW LCD monitor. It's my first LCD monitor and thus my first attempt at a DVI connection. I'm using an nVidia 6800 Ultra which has two DVI outputs on it. I've tried both of these outputs and both of them produce the...
