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 see your point to a certain extent. What I accept is the 2 cards being discussed 800XT/850XT are nearly the same in performance. I was under the impression that all 800 series cards only had 12 pipelines, apparently I was wrong. What I dont accept is either card is handicapped for the...
I accept that if you're talking PCIe cards, however, my point was the cards are different enough to have them on seperate lines without regard to their standing among the competition. He answered saying he ran out of lines and was really interested in 7800 vs. X1800 series. Problem with that is...
This is very true. My retail ATI X850-XT OCs to PE clock speeds with no problems, however, I've read/heard that many with non PE 850s have not had much luck OCing them. Apparently it's a crap shoot and I hit seven...hehe ;)
The 800 is a handicapped card, the 850 is much better and the PE has faster memory. That said, the real question is, are you upgrading/building an AGP system or PCIe system? As someone pointed out, the x850-xt is the best AGP card...period. If you are upgrading an AGP system, you can't even...
More info: I don't have to reboot the machine to fix this problem, only log off and back on, then everything works fine as long as I do the screenshot first...it's almost like the "PrtSrn" button stops working more than a clipboard problem...hmm...I do use a MS wireless keyboard, I wonder...
My clipboard doesnt hold screen shots once its been used for something else. Example: Ill copy and paste some text from one document to another, then take a screen shot using PrintScreen and try to paste it into PSP or some other paint program. No image, just a funny looking symbol that...
You are correct as far as the blurriness is concerned. As I pointed out in another thread, ATI has always had better 2D (read desktop) images than nVidia. Maybe their RAMDAC isn't as clean, I don't know. I do know it's very obvious on a high-end monitor...
Again, I think its the monitor you use that dictates what card you drive it with. Ive had a Sony F520 21-inch CRT for years, I love it, however, I just ordered a Dell UltraSharp 2405 FPW 24-inch wide screen flat panel, the Kick-Ass monitor of the year! Ive always been a big monitor guy and...
How bout this one, a Ford Crown Vic police cruiser that can keep up with a 180 mph 'vette, Viper, etc!? That's one of those things that has always bothered me about NFS games...still love it though... ;)
Yeah, ATI was having driver problems back then. In fact, they really didn't get their driver situation squared away until just the last year or so IMHO. A little OT but since I started the thread I'll take the liberty to point out that they (ATI) still don't have anywhere near the support for...
