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.
The a50s need the usb and optical cable plugged in to work well or it will constantly cut out. I bought some for xmas and learned the hard way. The install instructions are bad when you need them for pc
Thanks for the advice, was looking at two asus 290's but may look to see if anyone has those gigabyte versions in the for sale section in the next week.
Without starting a new thread, what does everyone think one all the used r9 290s? Knowing most were used to mine. Worth the $200 price tag or no? I don't know enough on how bad they would perform after being mined 24/7
