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.
If you are willing to wait for this monster to get back in stock at Newegg, GET IT. I repeat, GET IT as soon as it appears on the site, you will not get any better for the price. Also, ignore the info on the card on Newegg, it is wrong, this thing is basically a Ultra with a downclocked GPU.(that can't hit 400 Mhz unfortunately)
I would go with the Leadtek. Unless you plan to get a NV5 cooler.
Leadtek is one of the few companies that actually makes a heatsink for their cards that is semi okay. Companies like Evga make really crappy heatsinks. Trust me you will want to get a 20 pound sledge and bust the stock heatsink into oblivion.
Yeah my leadtek fan on my card owns...It is really good, i can overclock really well and still have really low temps on my video card for load settings, like 58
