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.
So if it has 7 instead of 8, then it will be 12.5% slower than the GTX 680 at the same clock speed. If the rumor is true that it will be ~$400, then that is 12.5% less performance at 20% less price. Not bad. I'd buy one.
I still think it's nice to have DX11.1 on the card. While no games will ONLY support it by any means, it could open up a new feature or two. I remember STALKER: CS had a lighting feature only available to DX10.1 which made the game look a bit better.
I can agree with bad nVidia drivers. I'm on two GTX 260s and I get a computer lock up/ BSOD when I start up games, and some times Windows. Also BSODs when closing games. This has been since the 285+ drivers.
They don't just blur the Jaggies, they use the power of MATH to best blend the pixels. There are other post process AA methods better than the older FXAA. Read up!: http://www.iryoku.com/smaa/downloads/SMAA-Enhanced-Subpixel-Morphological-Antialiasing.pdf
I sure hope so. At that price point they would have my buy, but at 2GB, I hope they don't try and charge more than $500. Especially considering AMDs $350 cards are 2GB and the $450 cards are 3GB.
Question: Since I have 3 DVI monitors, and these cards only come with 1 DVI port, will I need to do one DVI, one HDMI>DVI converter, and one DisplayPort>DVI converter?
Thanks for the link. I'll be picking up a 7870 myself, because I have 5760x1080 and this seems like the best option for me. Does anyone know of any manufacturers including a DisplayPort > DVI in their box since I have 3 DVIs? Or if they do anything like the Sapphire FleX and I don't even have to...
