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.
just to let you know, i went with a 570. thanks for all the back and forth and comments. gave me ideas to use when running searches to find other people's experiences. I don't think the 6850's would have been much of a hassle for me to set up...but i've got a lot of other irons in the fire...
$336.22. Mentions a 5% ebillme cashback. Fatwallet has 2% cashback on mwave.
Not sure if this counts as a deal, but it's lowest price I've seen on a 570...
I'm running my comp out to my 67" tv. 1920x1080.

I've read lots of test results where the crossfired 6850's generally handily beat the newer 1-card solutions (570, etc) at this resolution.
I'm searching now, but is crossfiring (never...

I'm reading the charts so when i build my new comp, upgrading from 8800gts 512, i know which one will give me best fps on my 67" tv (1080p). I know I don't need top of the line, but it still looks like the pricier cards let me start cranking the features up without a loss of frame rate.

I built my last machine with a 8800gts 512, quad6600, etc in a cooler master 690. Process went well and has been a great machine. Gonna give it to my brother and build a new box.
Wondering what the current heir apparent to this box in the $50-$100 range might be.
I intend to have a blu...
anyone know the range of a g700 wireless setup? My comp is in one room, and I use my 67" tv as my monitor in the next. I'd guess it's an almost straight shot 20' distance from gaming seat to comp.
I think it mainly had to do with the onkyo.
Also, wired directly to the tv, I have less issues fitting the desktop to the viewable surface of the tv.
Think I'm good now. thanks everyone.
