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.
Kinda glad I don't have the excess dosh to drop on a 7970 (700$+ in Australia) for a couple of weeks, hopefully we'll see some non-reference cards out by then if not more news of them incoming :)
Think I am definitely going to have to import one of these to Australia, they are up for like 700$+ :( damn you Australia, sucks hard even though our dollar is stronger than American at the moment we still always pay a gazillion more
Good for you :), keen to get my hands on one in Australia, I think we are all curious as to what those clocks are on the Black Edition, given how much knowledge we all have of the potential.
I've got a 5970 as well, and whilst it doesn't seem to be failing or anything its starting to show its age quickly, think I'll be picking up a 7970 in about a month or so
