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.

Be careful what you wish for. It could die the day after they jack up all the monitor prices to match all the other PC components... -
Ssethk replied to the thread Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 2070SB CRT Monitor in 2026.I had one of these back in the day but not such an optimized setup (DaC to short vga cable). I am curious does it actually look better at max res? I remember it looking better at slightly lower than max res because it couldn’t actually resolve...

Ssethk replied to the thread LG Electronics Announces U.S. Pricing and Availability for World's First Native 1000Hz Full HD Gaming Monitor.Only interesting if used for dynamic blanking / crt like simulation in hardware at all refresh rates / vrr, which this does not appear to be. That is to say it should be able to accept a 80-140 fluctuating vrr signal, map that to 1000hz, use a...

Ssethk replied to the thread One monitor in a 3 monitor setup wakes to black screen others are OK.Yeah I have a smart plug on the Aoc. This issue has been around for years now but strangely it didn’t happen for many years on both the Aoc and Gigabyte. I thought firmware fixes would fix it but there are no more updates for the gigabyte and not...

Ssethk replied to the thread So why cards?.When I first read the title of this topic, I thought this would be about a similar idea I have had for a while but probably in the exact opposite direction. Rather than thinking we should squeeze GpUs into a socket that is fighting for horizontal...

Ssethk replied to the thread One monitor in a 3 monitor setup wakes to black screen others are OK.I have 2 different setups with this issue - dual or triple monitor where one monitor does not wake up. Win + ctrl + shift + B does not wake them up requires a power on to wake up. In the case of an older AOC monitor I have to unplug it, the power...

Ssethk replied to the thread What Is Your Personal Favorite Video Card of All Time?.I had Voodoo 2 in SLI as well and while it was great I was also an image quality guy and was actually quite happy when all in 1 video cards meant you didn’t need 3 slots used and did not have to settle for imperfect image quality. 3dfx made you...

Ssethk reacted to Gigantopithecus's post in the thread I’ve never been more desperate for a Black Friday deal than this year. with Like.
Depending on your level of desperation, I've been somewhat consistently finding less-than-terrible prices at Walmart. In the last three months, I've picked up 10TB Toshiba N300 Pros for $238, 12TB Toshiba N300 Pros for $268, 4TB WD My Passports...

Ssethk replied to the thread Steam machine / steam cube / GabeCube.Absolutely, and that’s what I think people should do. I can appreciate the neat design touches - integrated high quality wifi and steam controller networking / antennas support, light bar , remote on / off and in particular the tighter...

Ssethk replied to the thread Steam machine / steam cube / GabeCube.The steam machine are Valve’s kryptonite. When they announced this it almost made sense, now it just seems insane. I think they would have been better off just selling a barebones case and mini itx mobo with a bundled steamos for that platform...

Ssethk replied to the thread What exactly happened to 3dfx??.Since this god tier necro deserves some fresh content, it seems that at least 2 senior engineers/ architects from the 3dfx days are still with Nvidia, lending credence to the theory that there is long term 3dfx dna in modern GPUs: William...

Ssethk replied to the thread Elden Ring Nightreign.Agreed - they must have been pleased (5 million copies * $40) although an Elden ring2 + nightreign mode built-in would be crazy good since it would be available to everyone who bought the game. I hope they are working on it.

SSomething to note about the sRGB black crush behavior is that it is not necessarily wrong for that to happen. On a 2.2 gamma curve, the darkest 2 or 3 shades will generally fall below your visual perception. The idea is that things should should...

Ssethk replied to the thread Steam Frame.Unfortunately this thing has a SOC, RAM and storage despite being a PC-first headset. If it releases with primo 16GB LPDDR5x ram and 256gb/1tb options that is an expensive component list for someone mainly using it for PC vr.

Ssethk replied to the thread New TCL QD Mini LED monitors 27" QHD and UHD.Backlight array control / controller logic and overall color is make or break in mini led like this but the potential 2000:1 native contrast and higher refresh rates should give these monitors a chance to offer value in this space. Look forward...

Ssethk replied to the thread Moving from UHS-I SD cards to SD Express cards.Just to point out to anyone else looking at this thread. I would be extremely wary of SD as an only backup solution, they typically have very low write endurance and a history of poor reliability with a few exceptions. Given more suitable options...

Ssethk replied to the thread GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U 43 inch 4k 144 HDR1000 QLED monitor.I see what you’re trying to do - only scale the text using the legacy universal text-only dpi setting. That option is one setting only for all monitors. I won’t comment further on the downsides of that since I’m sure you’re already aware and to...

Ssethk replied to the thread GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U 43 inch 4k 144 HDR1000 QLED monitor.Thanks for your impressions. You should still set per monitor dpi scale using the multiple monitors section of display settings (at least I still can) or using a utility. The constant drive to simplify the settings dialog has dumbed things down...

Ssethk replied to the thread Dell UltraSharp U3225 QE monitors.These look like great productivity displays especially in dual monitor mode. Dell’s combination of clean industrial design, nice stands, decent engineering and reliable support makes them a great long term choice- thanks for the mini review.

Ssethk replied to the thread Would a modern CRT make any sense?.This is a fun thread, and I think the ability to buy a new retro-style crt that targets enthusiasta like the smaller but very awesome Sony PVM line (the ones I have seen were about 13”) would be really cool and even seems like it would be a...
