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 think I will go with the regular 6800 just because I don't want to spend too much, and I will probably upgrade in a year or so anyway. Is it hard to OC the 6800? I have heard people unlocking an extra 4 pipelines and and OC the clock speeds to 6800GT speeds. Is that true/possible?

Hi. I am new to these forums, and I am going to be upgrading my PC very soon. What I wanted to know was, what is the best GPU for $300? I have narrowed it down between the X800XL and the 6800GT, but I am not sure which one to get. The 6800GT has the 3.0 shader models, but the X800XL runs HL2 and...
I called 2 Best Buys near my house, one had them for $300 and the other had them for $282. I will call another one tomorrow. If I can get one for under $250, I will buy it on the spot.
