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.
Snagged 2 of them today at BB
I got denied at the first BB and OfficeDepot.
Sent the ladyfriend to a BB about ~45 minutes away and she walked away with 2 of them
all she took was the print-out that I tried to use yesterday with the price still on it
So I should try to be a part of the feeding frenzy for R9 290s and just start mining litecoins, if worse comes to worse I end up with badass video cards?
Thinking about ordering a couple 600GH Butterfly Labs cards.
According to profibiliabity calculator, it looks like I should recoup my money fairly quickly.
Besides the risks inherent in mining cryptocurrency, are there any risks in the short time that I'm not thinking of?
Is a deluge of...
good luck getting rid of microstuttering.
I was a "professional" gamer for many years, had many different configurations of processor and video card vendors, many different RAM, motherboard, and hard drive configurations with a large amount of differing mice, and was never able to truly rid...
I've never had them do it in less than 18 minutes. Ever. About 50% of the time they can't even find what I order. Some people don't have all day to wait around for them to find something and if it shows up in inventory why wouldn't they have it? If I waited for the confirmation email every time...
OCZ Agility 3 120GB is $199 after rebate at Microcenter through 6/12.
This drive will be almost as fast as the Vertex 3 unless you're transferring movie files and other uncompressible data. For people who primarily game and perform other basic functions there will be essentially not difference...
I tried to buy a Microcenter Rebadged SSD, an old Jmicron 64GB model, for $64. It's a 45 minute plus drive. So I ordered, waited the 18 minutes they promise it will take to be ready, and then departed. About 40 minutes into my drive I got an email saying my order was cancelled because they...
The Kingston SSDs have massive write amplification (20x or more) and their garbage collection is constant, I've stayed away from them despite their budget pricing because I would honestly worry about their longevity, especially since you know they aren't using high quality NAND.
Don't ask me lol. I just know what I read from researching the review sites and forums, I haven't seen anyone give an explanation for the difference. All I know is that the async NAND is cheaper and slower on non-compressible data. Dunno why.
