nvidia How to get a nvidia "press" graphics card before official release

[Personne]

Hey i wanted to know how to get a nvidia "press" card before official release if u have more info/know how to have one u can say it ;) ( just by curiosity^^)

Be press.

You answered your own question, you need to actually be a tech influencer or hold a press card. Nvidia aren't just going to give you a free card because you want one.

Just being press is unlikely to be enough, you probably have to be big enough, in the right tech/gaming area, not done anything too stupid in the past, and you'd have to agree to uphold any restrictions attached to receiving such a card, such as not passing on information before the appropriate time.

 

I suppose an interesting test might be to see who/what is the "smallest" person or site to get sampled this way. That might give an indication of where they make the cut.

 

Some examples just from searching YouTube for "3080 review": 

 

Nvidia cards (may also have got AIB cards too):

IGN 14.1M subs

LTT 11.M

Jackfrags 3.46M (gamer)

Dave Lee 2.99M (seems to do laptop/mobile reviews mainly)

JayzTwoCents 2.76M

Bitwit 2.15M

Hardware Canucks 1.47M

Paul's Hardware 1.3M

Gamers Nexus 1.06M

Digital Foundry 973k

Hardware Unboxed 588k

Tech YES City 458k

EposVox 254k

PC Centric 226k

OC3D TV 214k

Techtesters 123k

TastyPC 119k

KitGuruTech 109k

 

AIB cards:

Optimum Tech 342k

ThinkComputers 26k

 

This wont necessarily cover all those who got sampled, but most are techtubers, although there were some unfamiliar (to me) names in that list. So even if you're not a tech tuber there is some chance you can get selected.

 

It was also interesting a couple I found didn't appear to have the nvidia card, but got one from AIB. Those I found seeded by nvidia had 100k+ subs as indicator for size. One of the AIB seeded ones "only" had 26k subs, so I guess in that case they had built up a relationship to enable that.

Speculation on my part since I don't have experience: Once you have built up your channel/website and get big enough and hold a reputation to be noticed, nvidia might contact you. A more proactive way would be to contact them. How that might happen is up to the individual. You might try reaching out through the PR department, or in person at a trade event, at least if they start running again after the human malware situation is resolved.

Oh yeah, I know. It wasn't aimed at you specifically, more of a badly worded generalisation

[NadeMagnet69]

You have to have a really cool leather jacket to get one. lol Seriously though did anyone else laugh at Jensen? It's like come on grandpa, dress your age.

how to get one.

1. start some form of media channel (youtube or what not)

2. build a massive following

3. be known for being a pc connoisseur (unlike the verge)

4. on social media, hype up a upcoming launch

5. grab the attention of a company

6. form some sort of mostly positive relationship

7. wait
