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.
Just my 2 cents, I replaced a 9800pro running @ XT speeds with a Leadtek 6800nu. The 9800pro ran faster. But, I only play LOMAC which is a DX8 sim and is poorly optimized. I've found if I OC my cpu to my unstable point (Barton @ 2.4Ghz), the 6800 just about equals the 9800pro. So, make of that...
BTW, I should have said in my earlier post that my pro had an R360 core, but that still doesn't explain why my 6800 is underperforming from what I expected. If there is something wrong in the setup, I am completely baffled. It's even running 4xAF where the pro was running 8xAF.
I've got shimmering with a 6800, AMD2500+M OC'ed to 3200+, nForce2 chipset.
Has anyone who has it tried to pull the vid card and put it in a different rig? It might help to narrow down the cause of the problem.
