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.
Like everyone saying skyrim is CPU bound.I recently upgrade from a 4870 to 6870 and not getting any extra boast in skyrim but all games run way better.

I don't of any transcoding apps that will use GPU acceleration so any GPU you add will just be another useless power drain.Upgrade your CPU to something more beefier or get a device that can playback the media in its native format(xbmc,boxee,wdlive..etc).
I use a pirate version of win7 because i cant afford the 200$ price tag and i need atleast 4 copies for all my pcs.Thats 800$ i dont have.I can pay 75% of my morgage payment with that.If they give us the student discount of 30$ each 4 copies would be easily possible.Iam a pc gamer and i buy 90%...
