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.

Also I'm wondering -- has this been doing this since the very beginning (when you first got the card)? The main reasons I've seen for artifacts is overheating, but you've obviously gotten that fixed, and you haven't overclocked any. It's rare but could be possibly a defective video card, unless...

Man that is a sexy laptop. Unless you plan to go hardcore with gaming and eventually get a better setup to allow full potential from an 8800, there's no sense in getting the video card. Laptop is a much smarter decision with your money and that laptop is probably better than your current pc :D...

I have a Gigabyte 7950 GX2 and I want to hook it up to my HDTV out in the living room. The card I bought oem so it didn't come with any accessories, and apparently there is an s-video cable with HDTV connectors on the other end. If anyone has this cable please let me know I need one and can't...
