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 got dragged hard for questioning the reddit nerds that say you can only clean these things with magical unicorn farts and fairy feathers. I just spray some sprayway brand no-ammonia glass cleaner on mine and wipe it with a damn microfiber. Looks like new 2 years later.
I love my colorful lights but I don't have to have them, it really bothers me when I see people spending $500 on the Corsair or Lian Li ecosystem for a bunch of fans and controllers and then buying a 5060 8GB.
It doesn't hide them tho, it just makes the Gigabyte logo light up.
Gigabyte cards can only be controlled by GCC. I usually install it once, set the colors, then uninstall it since they stay in memory forever.
I'm not really understanding the point of the little sliding bit over the RGB, but the card seems pretty good and well built. I know these had temperature problems early on, I hope these ones have been rectified.
Its been noted in many reviews as well. It makes for a good budget option I guess, although the dead socket kind of sucks. Intel really needs to give up on this 1 chip generation per socket thing.
My 270K is far more consistent on frame rate than my 9800X3D. The averages are like 20% less but the gap between the average and 0.1/1% lows are much less varied on the Intel build. Basically it is more comfortable to play on in many games.
I may have snagged one too this morning lol
The sale was just starting when I saw it this morning and I meant to make a thread but I got too busy at work.
If you're struggling you're doing combat wrong. You can't tank anything, dodging and blocking are far more important than getting hits in. I agree about the ship view though, it really needs to maintain the 3rd person camera for combat because its really hard to see where the cannons are going.
I had kind of dismissed this game but my buddy convinced me to get it and its a total banger. I've sunk about 40 hours into it already, so much fun to play. A little buggy mainly in the controls response but its a great time.
I'm really enjoying gaming on this chip, the average is a little lower than the 9800X3D but the 1% lows are much more stable. Especially in the new Starfield update where is wins in both.
