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.
It seems that whenever I take my 5900SE over ~450/750 with Coolbits, I get a worse benchmark in 3dmark 01se even though no artifacts are cropping up... Has anyone else run into this odd phenomenon when overclocking the 5900 series cards?
You can get speed decreases by overclocking if the component(s) are not sufficiently cooled. Try opening the case, adding a fan pointed directly at the card, and check your results.
