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.
Very nice! You definitely pulled a golden ticket there. For comparisons sake, my GB GTX 670 WF peaks out at 1,250 max boost clock (1059 + 66 stock max boost + 126 core clock offset) , with a peak temp of 69c and 48% fan speed. I would have loved 1,300+ but I'm happy with it.
Awesome man. I think I speak for many here when I say we look forward to your feedback, particularly about voltage control.
While I'm very satisfied with my Gigabyte 670, I actually have a 14 day refund RMA open on it right now, that I opened at the last minute due to choke whine at high FPS...
The biggest issue for me on this card would be the fan noise on the Twin Frozr IV, which came in pretty loud in the 7970 reviews from what I read. One of the things I love about my Gigabyte 670 is it never breaks 70c and fans at 50% on an auto profile while under full load. As a result, I don't...

LIFTOFF! :p
No thanks. I'll take the gentle "whoosh" of the fans on my Gigabyte GTX 670.
If you want a quiet GTX 670 look towards the Gigabyte or ASUS cards.
This was the prime reason I opted for a GTX 670 and returned my unopened Sapphire 7970 to Amazon. There were simply too many reports of choke whining for my comfort level. Similar or close performance for $70 less and no choke buzz. I was a bit sad because I'm somewhat of a Radeon fanboy, but it...
Well I bit the bullet and ordered this card today from Amazon. $450 for such a well reviewed GPU was too hard to pass up. I'm a bit worried about the coil/cap electronic buzzing issue, as my ears tend to be pretty sensitive to that kind of noise, but we'll see how it goes. Maybe I'll get lucky...
