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 is a reference design with some changes in the VRM area, with some components being replaced by smaller ones than in ref.
There's pictures if the PCBs over @ techpowerup in the comments thread after W1zzard's review. Of note, he gave the card a 9.9 out of 10 for being blisteringly fast...
Great review.
I just bought this card 2 days ago at the Egg for $670. Since this review came out, it jumped up to 710.
I can honestly say, as a guy who started with the Voodoo1, this is the single most impressive video card I've ever owned. I just came off an MSI Lightning GTX 680, and the...
I'm sorry about your experience, but the laptop I purchased has an Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 802.11 AC 2x2 WiFi + BT 4.0 Combo Adapter from the factory. I won't need a "white list" of replacement parts :))
They didn't help the NSA get back doors to ALL functions of the iPhone including remote activation of the mike when phone is off.
Well, I guess that confirms Apple writes REALLY shit code.
I don't agree HP makes crap.
I just picked up an hp Spectre 13t-3000 for Xmas rocked and stocked with an i7 Haswell, 8 gb, 256gb SSD, a 1440p touchscreen, Win 8.1 Pro, and WiFi-ac for $1300.
Pretty g-damn spiffy 3.2 pound Ultrabook.
I went to 2 Targets showing the same thing - Available (not Limited Supply); no drives. One salesguy told me the drives had been sold out for over 24 hours. If it weren't for the 2 Sony Blu-Ray Players for 99 bucks I picked up, I'd have been seething at Target and their lame-speed inventory system.
Don't bother with the "Binned" EVGA cards.
I just bought a vanilla EVGA GTX 580 yesterday at MicroCenter.
They charge you 20 bucks more to get you 797Mhz GPU, 4050Mhz Memory.
On my cheaper version, I got 850 clock, 4408 memory. Save your money.
I saw it with EVGA's OC Scanner, which is similar to Furmark.
We know that the card detects the power draw from programs like Furmark/OCCT and then throttles back.
Oddly, I could test like mad with the EVGA OC Scanner until I pushed the absolute limit with the overclock. Now, the driver may...
