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.
Yeah I don't know anyone who would be willing to plop down more than $400 for a console right now...in my state when we are in a quarantine. It's going to hurt a lot of purses for the next couple of months.
Since this is used for production are you going overclock at all or no? If you are running more than 2 ram modules I'd definitely recommend the 2700 or 2700x for the better IMC, but if its just 2 ram modules then 1700 should be more than enough as the price increase ain't worth it.
I would take that 570 8gb and clock it to the moon, but tbh I don't trust mail in rebate. So I would recommend getting a used 390x or a used fury. If ya go the used route remember to get new thermal pads or some paste.
Edit: or get a used 1060
So in my quest for better temperatures I tried to apply conductonaut to the gpu well after applying liquid electrical tape. The PC managed to boot into windows somehow without any display output as I heard the windows chime. I removed the cooler and it looked like I should have applied more, but...
