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.
ATI GSOD Status?

lucky is probably an overstatement from what I have heard it only affects ~5% or so. more like I was unlucky
I have an XFX 5870 XXX... It now has GSOD issues up the a$$... (now stable at desktop, GSODs when gaming... used to be the opposite 'til 10.3s)
What's this XFX BIOS "fix"? Didn't know XFX had one...
Lucky. 10.3s made mine worse...
its a bios update that basically down clocks your memory and ups the gpu speed a little. it a pretty good drop on the memory as well, 22%. it seems to work but I payed for an overclocked card not a down clocked one. so I am going to test it out a little further and then probably RMA the card
Hmph.
Since mine worked fine in games 'til 10.3s, downclocking my card as a fix makes no sense...
My overall experience still points at utterly craptastic drivers, so I'm refusing BIOS updates and RMAs 'til... Well, 'til Nvidia has a better option...
ATI's only been making problems worse for me...
I am not thinking this is a driver issue, drivers work fine in everything else. this seems to be some kind of a design bug that only shows up sporadically and may have several different causes. I don't think the driver teams deserve the blame, more like they are trying to fix someone else issue that they are not sure of the cause
If drivers change the conditions under which it happens it is at least partly a driver issue, if not fully a driver issue. I've heard some fixing it via bios, but if it is impacted by a driver change, then the driver is interacting with the problem.
The fact that it's been ongoing for months is exactly why I can't yet see my way to putting a 5xxx series in my machine.
I should add that due to the lovely heat and power issues of the 4xx series, I haven't put those in my system either. So frankly I think both parties have a faulty product so I'll stick with old gen...
