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're going to use it more than a year, go with it.. Plus if it gets broken after a year and some and you RMA it, they'll probably wont have the same model and send you something better in return
Forgot to mention that you should definitely hold off on ordering that card atleast for another 2-3 weeks.. Witht he new gen cards getting on the market in the following weeks, you can probably buy a 9800pro for the same price
