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.
Congrats! I'm really on the fence about buying them due to all the problems I'm hearing now with Skyrim and Crossfire. They're a fantastic deal on paper but seem like a nightmare support-wise from AMD.
So I was planning on getting MSI Twin Frozr III 570's in SLI but I couldn't find them in stock anywhere. After doing a little more research, I ran across the whole unlocking of the 6950's and it's definitely peaking my interest in terms of bang for buck. Unfortunately I've had very bad...
Correct, but also if it were using 1400 consistently, people with 1gb and 1.25gb cards would be totally choking which we aren't seeing. Surprisingly, we're seeing 1.25gb 570's outperform 2gb 6970's at times. This is why I think it's "fishy" until someone does a comprehensive analysis of it in...
The video ram issue for BF3 is still kind of fishy. No one has done a really comprehensive analysis on how it utilizes VRAM. However, the general consensus right now is that it will just use whatever amount you have to the max like Windows does. 570's with 1.25gb are not hitting any type of...
Recommendation/Thoughts on which one is a better purchase?
Will be SLI'ed and paired with a O/C'ed 2700k. Gaming res will be 1900x1200... targetting BF3/Skyrim as the main games. Thanks in advance.
Looks like the 2700k is officially launched today. Intel retail recommended price is $332. 2600k price remains at $317. 15 more bucks for a much better chance to hit 5ghz... not bad at all.
If the average OC of the 2700k has improved to 5 ghz (up from 4.5-4.8 average of the 2600k), it's already an improvement. 2500k's hitting 5.2 certainly isn't the "norm."
Interested also in how close it comes to the 580 since I might get 2 of them to run in SLI.
But for the OP, if you haven't yet, I would recommend you to check the newegg reviews and the EVGA forums on the 570 Classy. Seems there are a number of people having stability problems with the...
