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.
Many thanks. What do you think about the 7800 GTs -- e.g. 256M XFX GeForce 7800 GT, 256M eVGA GeForce 7800 GT? Seems they should power the 30-inch okay, and that they have Linux drivers. Shame they're still quite expensive ($300-$400, instead of $100 for the X1300) though.
I think I'm...
No offense taken -- I've had the same thought myself. I'm wishing I'd researched more carefully and got an AGP system instead of PCIe, since the PNY Verto 6600 is dual-link and only $150 (but only the AGP version is dual-link), whereas the cheapest PCIe option for me right now is the $300...
Ah, excuse me. The Sapphire link should have been:

FWIW, both (MSI Pro and Sapphire Pro) are around $100, though only from some online retailers I hadn't heard of with some dubious returns policies. Is there going to...
Hi!
I'm trying to find the cheapest PCIe card that'll run an Apple 30-inch Display -- my system runs Linux, and I won't be playing many games.
Could anyone confirm whether the Sapphire 256M X1300 Pro or MSI 256M X1300 Pro are likely to run the display at full dual-link resolution...
Oh. But in answer to my question of what's cheapest to buy right now, rather than in an undetermined number of months, the answer's still the FireGL? Sucks there's nothing for PCIe at the same price as the AGP cards.
Hi,
Can anyone tell me whether the ATI 128M PCI-Express FireGL 5000 runs the 30" Display at full resolution? I'm looking for a sub-$300 PCIe card that'll power the display similarly to the way the $150 PNY 6600GT AGP does.
Thanks!
