So AMD's new graphics cards are here, and they are pretty sick... But what's even more sick than hearing about a new graphics card? Owning one for yourself!

Aw yeah man, we are giving away one Polaris 10 video card and one Polaris 11 video card thanks to our good friends over at AMD.

 

So, how do you enter to win one of these fine graphics cards?

 

1. Post a comment below telling us what graphics card you're using in your rig and why you want an upgrade to AMD's Polaris lineup. The two winners will be selected at random, so no, the content of your comment doesn't REALLY matter, but this is more fun than seeing 800 posts of "I want it" or "gibe nao pls."

 

2. Check back here in about a week when the names of our two winners will be added to the OP (giveaway execution is an art not a science people, so I apologize in advance if winners aren't announced in exactly one week).

 

3. Check your inbox here on the forum to make sure you didn't miss it. Our winners' usernames will be added to the OP here, so if you have any question about the legitimacy of a congratulatory message regarding this giveaway, please be sure to check back here and see if your name has been added.

 

And, while this isn't a requirement, feel free to give our friends over at @AMDRadeon on Twitter a follow.

 

Winners will be PMed from this account on the forum. Please do not consider winner messages from any other user in regards to this giveaway.

 

This giveaway is worldwide with no age restriction.

 

Best of luck to all!!

I currently have a 750ti in my computer amd most of the time my gpu will be sitting at 99 percent and my fx processor will be at about 50% i would love an upgrade and unfortunatley Mcdonalds dosent pay enough for that.

I'm currently running a Sapphire R9-270X-4GB card, but would like to upgrade so I can run a 3440x1440 ultrawide monitor in the future.  Hopefully one that runs Freesync!!!

I have a gtx 550ti. Do I really need any other reason to want this video card?

I personally have a Gtx 750 ti, it was great 2 years ago when I played in a 1600x900 monitor. Now the I have a 1080p monitor and it's really starting to show it's age. So if I won the upgrade would be awesome. ?

I run an Nvidia GTX 980. I would love an AMD Polaris to try out in my rig to see which one runs better. Plus who doesnt want a new GPU.

Now I have GeForce GT 630. So reasons to want AMD Polaris card are: 1. my card is outdated; 2. my card is not AMD; 3. AMD Polaris card much more powerfull.

Me wants.

 

I used a 6850 for awhile, then I found a phenom x6/550ti rig for free and now use the 550ti over the 6850 for noise reasons.

6850 is a bit more powerful but is loud AF. 

 

I get 60-75 fps on lowest settings on latest games at 1600x900 windowed (what I play at), so either Polaris 10 or 11 will be well suited to my gaming needs and as an upgrade.

I'm poor. How did I even make enough to get all of this.
 

Main build:

Intel i5-3570k, EVGA 980ti (reference), Gigabyte Z77-D3H, 4x8gb DDR3 (1 kit of Corsair, 1 kit of G.skill), Crucial M500 960gb SSD, Seagate 3tb HDD

 

Backup build:

AMD Phenom II X6 1045t (OC to 3.7ghz) + Cooler Master Hyper TX3, Asus Sabertooth 990FX, NVidia Quadro FX3800, 4x2gb DDR3, 240gb SanDisk Extreme SSD

I'm building a new pc soon but I'm having a hard time getting the money for all components so it would help a lot since gpu is like 40% of all money. In my current PC I have a GTX950. Was always an nVidia fan, but these new AMD gpus seem amazing while the new nVidia cards are unfairly priced in my opinion, and even if they weren't I wouldn't be able to get the money even for a GTX1060 it seems. Thanks for the giveaway!

I have a GTX 650M in my laptop which crashes from overheating even by playing Skyrim! So I want to make a desktop computer as my laptop is on its last legs and I doubt that it will last no more than a year. So I hope I win this else humanity will die.

I am currently running no graphics card. My rig is still being built which means I'm using a $300 laptop from walmart. The graphics card I planned in using was a gtx 960 but these are such better values. The graphics card is one of the last peices I need  but my summer lawnmower job will end soon and I only made $35 a mow on it anyway (this wouldn't be as much of a problem if it hadn't been so dry that I couldn't mow for a month). So all I could do is buy a $30 graphics card so I could browse the Internet and get basic functionality. Please geeevvv me either will be apprieciated

I have an old nVidia GeForce 9600M GS, using a laptop(~3 years old ?) with no screen.

Already bought half of my rig, this would be nice to have ( No GPU bought yet )

I have a 970 in my rig, but it's free, so I'll probably just sell it and the 970 to get a 1080 *cough* Nvidia is better *cough*

I say jiggly-bytes when I see "GB".

It goes down better than you would expect.
