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.
I never could understand why ati has sapphire make their "built by ati cards" yet sapphire produces their own lines. I guess its just so sapphire can make their own little changes to the heatsinks and whatnot.
Many industries the brand names are made on the same production line as the generic.
Think of "Store Brand A" raisen bran. Do they really have their own cereal factory ? It's the name brand, equivalent goods. ATI got out of production a few years ago, probably hurt the bottom line.
