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.
Consider that i have a FX-8350. The PSU is an Antec HCG Bronze. I have a GTX 660 and i did some tests with that Kill A Watt thingy and under stress i capped at 144w, which is a lot lower than i expected to be frank. I can't imagine a 970 being that horrible.
Currently trying to decide if i want a 390 or 970, and one thing i'm confused about is the role of the memory. Assume i get a game that goes over 4GB (or 3.5GB rather. What is this i don't even...), what happens then? Massive frame drop? Stuttering?
Fair enough, i guess i'll get a new one and post-pone my graphic upgrade. How's that Corsair RM750? The site i just linked to is basically the Italian Newegg, more or less, so i'd rather buy from them if possible, and that seems the cheapest one they have that's still good. The recommended...
My budget for the PSU? Heh, nothing. If i buy a new one i have to post-pone getting my video card for at least a couple of months.
Assume i get a new one, which of the following should i get? This is the site i'd be buying from:

Currently trying to decide between a 970 and a R9 390, and the power draw of the latter is substantially greater:

Here's the PSU in question:

Well, the argument is moot for me as far as GSync is concerned since the module costs too much. This is the cheapest GSync monitor i could find:

Pardon my ignorance, but is G-Sync/FreeSync even needed on monitors that are this fast? Doesn't look like i would have to use VSync at all except in very old games, and i was under the impression it is VSync that people are finding troublesome.
The strobing actually seems nice. Seems useful...
BTW, what does anybody think of this?

This is the cheapest FreeSync monitor i could find. Somebody here mentioned that those technologies are just a marketing gimmick...
I'm trying to decide whether to get a 970 and a R9 390, and aside for all the other pros and cons, one of the deciding factors for me would be a good scaling option. I play a tons of old games, and the scaling feature on my (current) 660 is just too convenient to give up. Is the scaling in the...
I appreciate the effort put into that post and i find the information very useful, but some of those suggestions are a bit absurd. Plasma screens are all super expensive and that 50 inches screen recommendation. On my desk i'm less then a meter away from the screen. 50 inches is a bit much...
