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.
The other main reason for me is water block. The Toxic is reference and can use 6950/6970 water blocks. I could not find full coverage water blocks for other cards. If the toxic didn't come back in stock I would have purchased a Sapphire 6970.
I am upgrading from an OLD 8900 GT that is...
Yeah, it was only about 4 hours. I have been hitting refresh for a week. Anytime I was at a computer I was hitting refresh once an hour. Good thing I work in IT so I have access to computers all day.
I placed my order at 2:03 CST.
I was worried because this morning the card went to...
Ordered and shipped already!
OP - I have been looking for this card for 2 weeks. I even called Newegg, Tigerdirect and Sapphire. No-one had any information as to when they would be available.

Yes, that is what I am finding out!
Someone has to still be selling the reference version. Anyone? I am wondering if I should call resellers and see if they have them.
I am trying to find a 6870 reference card. I ordered 2 cards which were supposed to be reference cards and neither of them are. I am not a happy person right now. I don't want to spend $350 on a 69xx card because I don't game however I do video editing and the 6870 is more than enough.
I...
No I have not received it but I don't expect it to be here within a week. If I don't have it in another week I will start asking questions.
UPS cannot even get something to my house from within the US in a week (of course they suck!).
I have to agree on the RAID card. I have been in IT for 13 years and there are NO companies selling good servers with HighPoint RAID cards in them. Switch to a good card. I really like the Dell PERC cards (LSI based) but I don't know if any of them go to 12 drives without extenders which I...
Ok, I must give my input to this subject. I have over 11 years of Enterprise level backup experience at fortune 50 companies. I am a Sr. Systems Engineer at one of the largest retailers in the country. My areas of expertise are Windows, ESX and Linux. I ran backups for a top 3 computer...
