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 say the 9700pro is the best card of all time since it came out in summer of 2002 and still has the power to play today's games decently. Pretty good for a 3.5 year old card. ;)
I'm thinking about getting a Radeon X1900XT, and I want to know who the most reliable brand is in terms of customer service, warranty length, and with the least likelyhood of a DOA card. Can you guys tell me who the best brand is?
