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.
You should still ask before trying to fix it yourself. Vizio is replacing my nearly two year old TV that only comes with a one year warranty because of a widespread issue with my paticular model.
Agreed, staying close to his budget though a 980 is the best bet (if he is okay with used). There's a lot of 980's on the market since people are making the jump to the 980 Ti
You're overthinking this...
The air coming through your radiators with the Hyrid cards will be plently cool. You'll also have a front top 120mm fan pulling even cooler air into the case as well. This will dump far less heat into the case than a dual ACX setup.
You should be able to have AIO cooling for both cards and have the CPU with an AIO that has a daul radiator in the Air540.
Just mount the dual radiator at the top. Then mount the radiators for each of graphics cards in the front. You fan put a 3rd 120mm fan in the front on top for some extra...
I am going to put the most stock in the HWBattle rumored price of $649.
That is the site that all the click-bait news sites get their rumors from.
We'll see a rise in price from card OEMs to $699 for reference and aftermarket coolers. Basic overclocked variants of those will run $719-$739...
Both consoles have gone AMD. NVIDIA is going to go after the market in some way.
I have no interest in most phone games but if I am using an Andriod TV based Shield for Gamestream and other functuonality and a good Andriod game is available I'd probably pick it up.
They have in the past put up reference cards at launch. They can do whatever they want though. So I'll remain hopeful.
If they only have reference cards for step up I will probably sell my 980s and then buy the Ti cards with the coolers I really want. Since the 980 Ti is as pricey as it is...
