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.
Why is your rig down? Been playin it hard? lol

Congrats on your new card. Sounds like you got some great improvement.
My case temps are about 83 F and no problems. What power supply do you have?
20 pipes is the 7800GS or 7800GT
24 pipes is the 7800GS+ or 7900GT
I like others to find there own answers for thier personal verification and piece of mind.
Your card is the GS+
How is the Gainward card different than other 7800GS cards? Which GPU is on this card?
How would a different GPU and 512MB of DDR 3 memory affect performance.
Ok to those who already know. SHHHH Do not give out the answers. lol
My card arrived in perfect condition. It could have been packaged a little better but the Gainward box did its job well. If you can be there for delivery that is a good idea. Take pictures if box is damaged in any way.
My card works great and I am very happy with it.
The Gainward BLISS 7800GS Silent 512MB has more than just minor changes from the NVIDIA reference design and the power supply is on of these changes. Standard 7800GS requires a separate molex power adapter, but this card has a 6-pin PCIe power connector instead. And if your power supply fails to...
I really do not remember but all together it was $450. Yes on the high side but the good news is it has come down some since I got my card. Oh my version is the regular 7800GS with 512mb. Just guessing it was about $35 for shipping.
I cannot find that card on the manufacturer site. Could you take a look there and tell me which one you are speaking of? http://www.gainward.net/products/
Infact the card your site descibes does not seem to exist. Misprint maybe?
