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.
All of the eyefinity setups were great and I really enjoyed playing on them. Being able to play on two unreleased ATI Radeon graphics cards was pretty badass too. Since I am such a nerd just being able to see the two unreleased ATI Radeon graphics cards upclose and personal was enough for me...
I am not 100% sure about the speakers but I think they were Creative GigaWorks T20 Speakers. I am pretty sure those were them. I know they were made by Creative I just didn't look at the model number when setting them up.
They couldn't specify an exact date when the ATI Radeon HD 5970 would be released but simpled stated it would be out "next week". What I can say is that the NDA (Nondisclosure Agreement) for this GPU ends on November 19th.. So you can expect the launch of the ATI Radeon HD 5970 to be sometime...
The PCs with the eyefinity setup all had AMD 785G chipset motherboards with AMD Phenom II X4 955 CPUs and ATI Radeon HD 5870 GPUs. If the CPUs weren't 955s then they were 965s.
It was a great event. I had a lot of fun helping out and it looked like you guys had a lot of fun attending. Like Kyle has said hopefully AMD's eyefinity technology will bring people back to PC gaming. I don't want to see PC gaming die. AMD is playing a big role in helping keep it alive.
I am also a Quakecon attendee. I have attended the last 3 years. There was an ATI event at Quakecon that showed off the new Radeon HD 5000 series GPU. It was called @Area64 and only 100 people were admitted to see it. I was lucky enough to be one of those people and got to meet the AMD/ATI crew...
