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.
its kinda hard when you dont know the actual source from where these images came from. as i said, i found these on some random website. that website claimed no ownership or claimed to have take the pictures. i just downloaded what was on that page, and decided to make a wallpaper out of it...
my friend had the same problem with his ultra.
first install the nforce driver suite (install everything except the firewall), then reseat your vid card. we did that to his setup and it worked like a charm. :)
I also have the same setup as he and you, and I never had a problem as such...
i ended up getting a linksys befsx41 (good firewall protection), so far its been problem free. I also had teh same intention as you. get a wired firewall then upgrade later with a nice wirless router. today I integrated a wrt54gs, with no real problems. never delt with d-link or netgear.
my BFG 6800 Ultra has the same bios that is pictured in your screenshot. I have 5.40.02.05.12 bios. I also have never had any problems with the power required by that card. I have never ever seen that power sentinal message (I have had my card since June 8th). I actually have my card running...
