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.
I've got a Palit 1 GB Sonic. No VRM heatsinks, shitty aluminum heatsink (as previously mentioned), but it's loud in my room anyway so I can't really hear it. It gets the job done. I have it clocked to 800/1600 core/shaders. Hopefully it doesn't burn out on me, lol.
I got a 1 GB version as a sidegrade from a GTX 280. It performs slightly better in the games I play with the same settings. Gonna use it for Physx in a later build. Anyone interested in a 280? Lol.
GTX 460 would be good in either flavor. I got the 1 GB version (Palit unfortunately) because it was only 20 bucks more and I figured it'd allow me a little bit of AA. Gigabyte is pretty good. I built a system for my buddy with a couple of Gigabyte GTX 465's and those things are pretty cool and...
Hahaha, damn, I really wish I could get paid for this. No more PM's for you requiem. I'll just PM you out in the open. You're not a douche. Nor am I a shill. This is pathetic though. I voice my opinion coincidentally in a "shill" sort of manner and that's all people want to shout.
Alright pug...
The funniest part about this is that I'm not actually a shill. I didn't even know there was a theme. It looks like some people really do have their heads up their asses.
I guess I'm a natural at being a shill without actually being a shill.
Typical shady business. Still sticking to my guns that the card works fine. Free VRM heatsink would be nice.
Glad to hear I'm accidentally being funny.
Now why don't you just shut up about the shill thing person who posts PM's to make people look bad. I don't have any ties to the company. I'm...
1) I don't join forums and post all over, I usually just lurk.
2) Doesn't everyone join a forum at some point? Give me some damn time, jeez.
3) I wasn't so adamant as you think I was.
4) I don't give a shit about the company, I bought the card and I'm fine with it. I'm just too lazy to send...
Nice pic. No, I received no money. Wouldn't that be great, though. It just seems to me like people are butt-hurt over not getting that heatsink. Now, wouldn't a truly hardcore enthusiast just get his own heatsink and put it on there? In regards to my engineer comment, I say that because I am an...
How the hell is that shilling? I'm just presenting the other side of this as someone who is satisfied with the product I purchased. Looks like people on here have [H]ard heads too. I'm not trying to convince people to buy the damn card.
Sorry for double posting, but after reviewing stock photos at Newegg, neither the Sonic or Sonic Platinums have VRM Heatsinks. However, you CAN see the different aluminum heatsink vs. copper heatpipes in the Platinum version. Here are links:

Hahaha, nah, I ain't a shill. That's just how my card is happening to run. I'm happy with it so far, that's all. I didn't like that the core clock was at 700 MHz or that it's missing VRM heatsinks.
I got a Palit 1 GB Sonic GTX 460. It's core clock is 700 MHz vice 725 MHz. However, reading people's complaints of noise and heat, I have not experienced that. I keep the fan on 90% and it's quieter than my GTX 280. To top that, I have it clocked to 800 MHz and haven't hit above 80C in Furmark...
