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, yeah, I am on a budget. Anyone know anything about these cards? Good, bad? Well built? How well do they perform compared to other cards? Hopefully I won't be stuck with it for _too_ long, but who knows.
Honestly, I was, maybe naively, heartset on getting 256mb of ram with it, and bought the card for 173. Newegg didn't have any cards in the same pricerange with anything over this one, so I assumed it was a good deal. From what I've been reading, it may have been better to go with a 9600XT.
