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.

that's funny i have the same exact system
except my antec case is alittle different, and i have the connect3d gto
here are my scores (btw everything is stock except the video card
400/490 = 5061 Stock speed (but 16P)
450/490 = 5438

I wold think if you flash back to the original bios it would just read as the original bios.
i could be wrong though, i know of people sending them back after getting low overclocking results. :D
Also, the Sapphire GTO can't be unlocked, just the gto2
as far as i know anyway
i have the connect3d running at X850XT PE speeds and get over 7000 in 3mark05
but if something goes wrong, just reflash the bios. I think anyway.
i have the card and think it's the best money i've ever spent. just got FEAR today and can't wait to get home and check it out.
running @ 540/590
16Pipes
I've personally unlocked mine and have had NO issues what so ever. I myself haven't heard of one person having a problem... and of course you need to bump the speed up yourself since the bios only unlocks the 4 extra pipes
I just got my card today and unlocked it to 16 also. running at 540/590 on stock cooling.
want to get a better cooler and was wondering the same question.
btw best money i ever spent...also the easiest hack i've ever done :)
thanks guys, anymore suggestions?
i was looking at some refurb products on newegg.
any particular manufactuer of any of these cards you suggest?
i also see that some of the cards are clocked slower then they should be, core/ram wise. is the data correct on newgg in the discription?
i;m interested in an X800 or X800GT
looking at the msi board on newegg for 119 after rebate.
also would i notice a huge difference from 128-256 mb memory
or should i go with an nvidia card, and which one...
i'm going to be playing sims2, world of warcraft, and some other fps...
