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.
I think at this point AMD has no choice but to "game works" their titles. AMD has tried for how long to be a good corporate citizen and push open standards. Where did it get them?
Not really the same, Nvidia already had fundamental GPU tech AMD didn't. AMD gets a whole lot of crap for over paying for ATI, yes they did but long term it was a great acquisition. IIRC Intel paid more for McAfee than AMD did for ATI.
For reference I tested 3 new Sony CMOS batteries the average was 3.254 volts. As for load from the motherboard it is nearly zero that's why a CMOS battery can last 15 years.
