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.
I posted a few days ago about upgrading my GPU. The advice I got was great but I have another question...
I'm currently running an 8800GT OC. I will be upgrading to a 2500k and 8GB of RAM pretty soon. I will eventually upgrade the GPU as well but it may be a few months down the road until I...
Thanks guys. This is exactly the advice I've been looking for. As for budget... I'm thinking 250 - 300 right now. That could vary depending on how much I get for my old components.
I just haven't followed gpus over the past few years and have no idea what to look for anymore.
So I'm finally upgrading my system because I've decided to get back into PC gaming. I'm going to be getting a 2500k with a Z68 board. My current system is using a GeForce 8800GT OC which I guess is pretty old now.
My question is... would I get enough power if I picked up an additional 8800GT...
I was just looking into this exact same question. So far from what I have found, stick to the 2500k for gaming. Moving up to the 2600 or 2700 wouldn't do much unless you also plan on video encoding, graphics editing, etc.
