• 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.

Something to compliment Creative cards

Wow what a gimmick, I thought the X-ram was bad enough..

RAM on a NIC is just plain overkill. I mean its not like we are all getting some killer bandwidths, and even in the case of FIOS people are not even touching the 1gigaBIT! range.
 
Transferring data on a gigabit ethernet connection has alot of overhead on most integrated NICs so having hardware offloading does reduce cpu usage significantly. That said this card has a ton of useless features for anyone who would actually need onboard processing (LAN users with dedicated routers/firewalls) in addition to it being PCI (which can't fully sustain a gigabit connection).

It looks like just another card for the 1337 h4x0r crowd.
