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 honestly can't believe that I'm even considering this but I'm ready to hop a ferry and head to Vancouver right now and buy a freakin Motherboard but at this point I wouldn't even know which to buy that's guaranteed to work with this card. It'd have to be an AMD and I guess I'd go to the 6 core...
Yes I ran driver sweeper right after I removed the drivers in control panel then rebooted into safe mode and ran sweeper again to make sure I was clean.
I am not gonna reformat my machine for a video card, I'd rather just ship it back and get 2 nVidia cards again.
I have honestly tried...
2 weeks ago I took a massive leap of faith and bought an ATI card. I have always had nVidia cards and most recently had 2 GTX280's in SLI so for the upgrade I went all out and bought the 5970 4gb model from Sapphire.
I was super stoked when the card arrived, stripped the nVidia drivers and shut...
