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.
it wouldn't really be worth it.
what did you pay for the 7800gtx's? you know the 7900gtx's are only about $500 a piece, right? Don't both upping from the 7800gtx to the 7900gt, 2 or 3 frames in a game isn't worth the shipping charges.
I used to see a tab in the Driver Properties window, that was called 'Digital Flat Panel' or something along those lines. It could help force aspect ratio and whatnot. I prefer running games on my display in 1280x800, but now it is stretching to full screen when I have that res. selected. I just...
those scams hype the product and act like its a normal product, but he is a bad scammer.. almost all the other ones who do this, put that disclaimer at the bottom of the page. often goes unread, and thus you think its the normal product.
dont bid. too risky. technically, the scammers state...
the CO is a better card anyhow, and not sure if you could get that overclock
why would evga include copper, if it didn't need to for those clockspeeds? copper costs more, so why put it there if it isn't going to be necessary?
and either way, all evga's 7800gt's qualify for Quake4...
that may be not true over being able to overclock it, as the n515 model uses an aluminum cooler, the n517 model uses a copper cooler (its the 7800GT CO)
tearing is an issue that has to do with refresh rate (the 60Hz). And while I am not sure if higher refresh rate effects tearing (I use an LCD at 60Hz, so not sure)..., if the SED can handle it, then sure. But how it will change refresh rate is beyond me, since its not a single ray scanning...
well if ur upgrading from the 6800, then nothing really, everything worth upgrading to from what you have is starting at the 7800gt price and sliding upwards.
phix, might as well register for that mystery game bundle
and i bought my card on the 29th, and after a run-around with some support tech, I got to talking to a different tech and will be getting my CoD2 in the mail in about 2 weeks. Sweet, late xmas present probably!
i tried my luck and...
it would likely be either a 'riser' card or a simply card like they today but with replaceable gpu's via a socket.
at this point in time, jamming all those features of a full-fledged videocard, including the memory, the capacitors, and the socket for the gpu itself... i dont see that being...
it might be
you have to realize all cards returned will be scrutinized no matter what
so whatever they do to determine if a card was overclocked, they will do for every card returned. why? because they have to, to determine if something really was wrong with the card before they recycle it...
the n516 is 460/100, the n517 is 470/100
i believe though, the n516 is supposed to be 460/1050
either way, after attempting to overclock and deciding to settle back to stock, my n516 is now at 470/1100 lol
maybe a frame or two difference in performance, if that ;)
im not saying it would matter, but if that were the situation then it would.
i personally believe there is a chance evga will honor that. but they might also think "what does a guy need 2 copies of the game for?" lol
good luck to ya though :)
you dont think FEAR, Call of Duty 2, and other similar recent launched titles are pushing the GPU's? There wont be a CPU bottleneck for awhile. The upcoming cards will be far from creating any bottleneck situations.
currently the 7800GT CO is the cheapest model eVGA offers (on newegg) and its actually the best as well.

performance is always so close between different versions of the exact same card.... so its up to your personal preferences
do you like xfx's double lifetime warranty better than evga's excellent customer support and 9 day step-up?
