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 would imagine if you bought a new retail board now it would come with the BIOS that supports 45nm.
I just bought an Asus Maximus Formula yesterday from newegg, when it comes in i will let you know what BIOS it comes with.
I will be very suprised if it comes with one of the old BIOS's
Planetside
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 - Thats right. The first one
Grand Theft Auto Vice City
Grand Theft Auto S.A
Grand Turismo 2, 3, 4
Forza Motorsport 1, 2
It double what they used to have before. Also the R7xx has shader based antialiasing so they don't need as many...
I would agree that is isn't enough, but it is still a huge improvement
