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.
That's a bummer to hear since that is where I was going to order it from. Newegg's price is more expensive than everyone else, and I've never ordered from Provantage or B&H so I don't have any experience with dealing with them.
Thanks for the info! That's great to hear there is a 100Hz option. It seems like I won't have to change any settings around except to cap my framerate at 100 instead of 60. I'm not overly concerned with lag unless it is really bad. I won't even notice the difference in lag between having the...
Can any owners tell me how well this monitor handles framerates in the 90-120 range? With my 60Hz monitor, I'll set the settings in games to run around this level, then set a framerate cap at 60 so more often than not I'm maintaining a solid 60. When I do get dips in the 50's and even the high...
Thanks for the info! I figured it would be hard to find a buyer for my old fans so I probably won't upgrade all the fans unless I find a really great price somewhere. I think I might upgrade just one fan and put it under the videocard to see if I can make my 470 even quieter, then mod my old...
I got my black FT02 without a window from Amazon over the weekend and it did not have the AP181's installed. I was thinking about refusing the shipment and waiting some more to get one with AP181's, but I was so excited to have it at my house and finally being able to get rid of my 5 year old...
It's nice to hear Amazon is shipping these with the AP181's installed. Which FT02 specifically did you get that came with the AP181's? I was going to buy a black one with no window, but I was going to hold out a bit longer to make sure I get the new fans. If you bought the black one with no...
Yeah, I would only end up doing this if I got a decent amount of money for my 470, but I don't really have an idea how much I could get for it.
And I didn't even think about aftermarket cooling for the 470. I'll have to look around and see if there is anything out there for a decent price...
Right now, I have a Gigabyte GTX 470 with stock clocks. I think the card is great and it is treating me well, but the heat and noise it puts out is a little bothersome sometimes. I often play games pretty quietly so I don't wake other people in my house, and when I do I can hear the fan for...
Hmm it seems like the GTX 470 would be the better fit for me. I currently have a 4850 and I remember how much of a pain it was to get AA working in Mass Effect. I will be getting Bioshock 2 as soon as there is a good deal on it and I'm guessing AA will be much simpler with the 470.
Bitstreaming would be nice if I needed to watch dvd's and bluray's on this PC but since I have a few bluray players already to watch movies with, I probably won't need to watch any pre-encoded 5.1 audio streams with this card. All I am interested in is whether either card supports Dolby Digital...
I'm looking to buy either the Asus 5850 DirectCU or the Asus GTX 470 and I have a few questions I hope I can get help with. I would really like to use SSAA on older games such as Source games, Star Wars: KOTOR, The Longest Journey, Dreamfall, etc. Are there any limitations to the SSAA modes on...
