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.

CChadD replied to the thread Amazon Prime Day Deals 2026.I loved the G500. I kick myself on those. I don't think they dropped as low. I saw them hit 40 bucks and thought I should grab a couple and by the time I decided too they were no more.

So I finally upgraded to 2 x 24" 1440p 185Hz VRR monitors. Damn, I should have done this sooner, I by far actually prefer these screens to my 4k 27" display. 1440p is the perfect resolution. My stupid Samsung phone seems to have the narrowest...

It's already been explained by Gabe Newell. They fear Microsoft for their incompetence and malice. Considering the video is from 2013, the failure of Windows 8 from Microsoft had worried Valve since they depend on Windows. Microsoft can simply...

CChadD replied to the thread Valve Steam Machine, SteamOS Desktop, Steam Frame VR and Steam Controller.I am not convinced AMD screwed them over, as this was all basically ewaste parts. I think Valve valved themselves on this one. Valve has a history of holding things till its right. (or as close to as they think its going to get) If Valve had...

CChadD replied to the thread Valve Steam Machine, SteamOS Desktop, Steam Frame VR and Steam Controller.Valve has always played nice with the open source world. Nothing they do is hidden.

CChadD replied to the thread Valve Steam Machine, SteamOS Desktop, Steam Frame VR and Steam Controller.The catch is supply. We can source better parts from companies that have a handful of said part on the market. And if you look in a month those parts won't be around anymore, you'll have to find another. Valve needs the same parts on a...

CChadD replied to the thread Valve Steam Machine, SteamOS Desktop, Steam Frame VR and Steam Controller.Don't think its going to be much of an issue.
