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 was trying to push my E7200 today and everything seemed fine with Orthos and OCCT running fine for an hour or so each. I then tried to unrar a decently large file and I consistently got a CRC error every time I tried. I went back to an OC I know is stable and it unrar-ed fine.
What do you...
^According to all the benches I've seen, BC2 should be completely playable with everything turned up.
Try to match the settings reviews are using and see if you're getting something similar.
The consensus seems to be that the 5850 is faster in most cases than 460 1GB but needs its price lowered.

The VRMs aren't covered. I'm not sure about the ram.
Are you doing anything specific in FF that's making it crash? Before, I OC'd my CPU too much and occasionally when I was watching a video with FF I'd get BSOD'd.
40 seems to be as low as it goes.
I have a problem. One of the screws on the back of my card is broken (the slots are worn out). WTF? Any ideas as to how to get it out?
Edit: Nevermind. I managed to get it out... somehow.
Just got my EVGA 768MB today. On stock voltages, can overclock to 845/1690/4260.
I can run Shattered Horizon @1680x1050 with x4AA and everything else full with lowest FPS ~30.
The FFXIV benchmark gives me ~2700 for high and ~3000 for low (mainly limited by my E7200@3.6Ghz, what the hell is that...
