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 actually bought it for $120.96 + tax in Canada:

Direct Canada is selling it for $120.96. I did a price match at NCIX.com.
If you don't hear any popping or cracking on your X-Fi Platinum, I won't recommend upgrade to X-Fi Titanium unless you need optical input/output or Dolby Digital Live.
Considering X-Fi Titanium Fatality Pro PCI-E also got EMI shield and real-time Dolby Digital Live encoding via optical output and the price is about right $120 street price, it is definitely a nice upgrade even for X-Fi Xtremegamer Fatality Pro PCI.
Also the review showed X-Fi Titanium PCI-E...
After you guys' recommendation, I just bought X-Fi Titanium PCI-E for Windows Vista running BF2142, and so far no more cracking and popping sounds especially when artillery firing. Very good!
Ok, now Creative came out with X-Fi Titanium PCI-Express, which supposedly should fix the cracking and popping issues with Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2132 since Creative technical support said the probelm with X-Fi and Battlefield series lied in PCI bus. Now the new audio card is using PCI-E...
Some benchmark showed that in AoC, 4870 doesn't perform as well as 280 comparing to in CoD4 4870 vs 280.
I am hoping that my next video card would get me a gain of 15-20 fps at 1920x1200 with 4xAA.
I wasn't trying to criticize him or anything. My system is 2-3 years old, so I am trying to figure out what kind of gain I would get if switch to 4870 or 280 playing AoC.
He is using the same monitor I am using. Just that the pic location he took is a generally high framerate area.
use Ctril+Alt+F to turn on framerate monitor if I remember correctly in AoC.
In the AoC, when High settings are on, the AA, Shadows, reflection and viewing distances are not necessary to Max.
Don't know if u ever been to a location called Carnibell's Cave. Inside, my framerates dropped to...
All settings to High doesn't mean all to Max. What did u set for AA, AF, shadows, and viewing distances (quality and otherwise), water reflections?
The map you are in tends to have higher framerate. I am getting 30-50 framerates in that map.
Let see if u can get same framerate in Old...
LOL, yeah, medium setting looks than FarCry. Just I saw the visual differences between Medium and High (not Very High) settings are too great.
Currently, with my sig system, I can play Crysis on High settings at 1920x1200 no AA => 25fps on XP. I tried Medium settings to increase a few...
No, who?
When I told my wife about my Eurika idea of a cola drink with added gingsing and more caffeine, couple minutes later Pepsi came out with the commercial about Pepsi gingsing with more caffeine.
