  1. A polaris 10 (RX 480, right?) would be a great upgrade over my GTX 660! Thanks for doing this giveaway.
  2. I love the efficiency of Nvidia's new cards.The 970 has more performance than a 290x (at 1080p, not necessarily at 4K) while at the same time using ~80w less power. And the 980 is the fastest single GPU card available and uses less than 180w of power! Nvidia has done a great job of maximizing efficiency with these cards.
  3. Hey Linus. You and your team have been a major part of my pc gaming "career". I started watching your videos in the NCIX days, when I was planning my first complete PC build. A modes Core 2 Duo/8800GT/4GB RAM system. It served me well and I used your videos to once again guide me to my next system, which I am still using today (with modifications). A core i7 920/5870/6GB ram build. You gave me the confidence to overclock my CPU, the desire to add a second 5870, and the impulse to swap my two 5870s for a nice shiny R9 290. I'm still rocking the OG 920 though. Got it at 3.8GHz and not a scratch at all. added some more ram to knock it up to 16GB. The SSD, though. That was a surprise. I had no idea what an SSD could do. It was like going from my old pentium 3, to my core2duo, to my i7 920 all at once. Just a massive upgrade. You made such a big deal about SSDs and got me so excited for one. I saved for a long time to be able to get it, and it was sooooo worth it. Aside from how much you guys taught me about this stuff, the entertainment value was just as important. I would watch every video every day after class, and now, after work, I do the same. Many times the hardware talked about is simply out of the question for me, but your excitement allows me to live vicariously. You folks love what you do and it's a pleasure to watch. Keep up the excellent work, and thank you.
