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 should have known all the X2 users would come to its defense....
Without a decent overclock on it, it's no good for gaming. Not with anything above a 7600 GT anyway.
Yeah I guess if you can get that X2 up to 2.5-2.8 GHZ, then a GTS would be good. I couldn't do that with the mobo I had. It was cheaper to swap out the CPU.
That CPU, although dual-core, is bottlenecking even that 7800 GT.
I had an X2 3800+ (2.0 GHZ) with a 7900 GT and found that just by going to a single core 4000+ (2.4 GHZ) , there was a significant improvement in my gaming performance.
My suggestion would be to upgrade your CPU platform...
I'll make it easy for you....
As per usual with a new generation of video cards, if you OC the card that's the step below the latest top of line, you'll get top of line performance.
Oc'd GTS = GTX
All those facts and math that these clowns are posting don't mean a damn thing in...
It's not worth the extra money. GTS' are highly overclockable. I have one and I get GTX framerates and benchmarks. Also, its far superior to my 7900 SLI set-up. GTX's are for suckers...
What did you expect them to do? You're lucky if you get anything back after you beat that card to death. You don't think they know that? Video cards just don't "break" after working perfectly. People break them....

some bogus driver that I downloaded from somewhere, Spyware version 96.94- I meant "Forceware".
You're wrong.... I don't think you people realize just how weak a P4 is. 3dmark01 SE is highly CPU dependent when determining the final score. Mobile Bartons blow away P4's in gaming.
He's not doing anything wrong, its not the drivers, its not BIOS. It's not the fucking SMART GART or...
Did you have me edited out, eno-on? You like being a little cheese-dick?
6.5k, 10.5k 12.5k....does it really matter? P4's are equivalent to fecal matter.
Just because you have someone's posts edited, doesn't mean what they said isn't true.
Edit that, you punk.
