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.

So I just snagged one of these from Amazon (1080P @ 15", GTX1070, 6700HQ) with the assumption that the GTX1070 could max most games out at 1080P. However this does not appear to be the case.
Fallout 4 - Even using FXAA, frame rates will dip into the low 40's.
GTA V - Also seeing frames in the...
Finally got around to taking a few pics of my recently finished build. It's got a 5960x from a previous build. Mobo is the RVE10, and a pair of titan pascals.
The mobo lighting looks very blue in the pictures but is actually closer to a sky blue IRL. I wanted white, but the RGB lighting is far...
just a word of caution - o.m.g. ust finished my first play through and am feeling lost and hopeless. nothing else in my library has or will come close to what i just experienced for the past hundred hours or so. CDPR really outdid themselves. wow.
