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.
Did we always get reviews of video cards on the actual day of the launch, or is nVidia just scared of showing real perf numbers before the cards are out?
Even though there's an article stating that Benchmarks won't be released on the 26th, I seriously doubt this and I'm willing to bet that the NDA will be lifted for everyone on the 26th.
We never get anything before launch from nvidia. They didn't leak stuff before the 8800 GTX, nor the 280, haven't seen anything before the GTX 480 either. It's just the way they do things. It has no effect on how good the card is or is not.
