Using a R9 390. But I would use the 480 to make a portable Vive rig for friends and family!

 

If anyone should win, though, please let the lucky person be an Intel HD user.

 

They've come a long way actually and the HD 4400 in my Surface Pro 2 always surprises me (Overwatch at lunch break at the office on a Tablet PC? Noice!).

 

EDIT: pls gib nao

7 yrs old school rigs. It was a beast at it era, and now it serving me some casual game and web surfing. My 9600GT was a value king.

A Polaris will be a motivation for me to build a new one and enjoy new games.

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 have a pretty old setup. It's about seven years old and still has Windows xp. I'd like to set up a better rig but i just don't have enough money at the moment.

I have a humble GTX 650, which I purchased to play CS:GO, MW3 and test my low-budget 4K Seiki TV. It does the trick for me, but I can surely have more FPS with the latest technology. I hope I can finally start killing my friends in online battles. ;)

I'm running a 980Ti Hybrid, but hey another graphics card wouldn't hurt anyone would now?

I have an HD 7970, and planed on buying a RX 480 anyway for the extra performance (to power my new 1440p monitor) and Freesync

Unfortunately, I do not have a rig and I am looking to build one. I'm using my parents computer which uses an AMD APU. I would really like this gpu because it will help me build my future rig as well as the cost being lower for the total of my rig. Thank you c:

I'm running my first ever PC build with an R7 370. It didn't take me long to get hungry for my next build. I've been eyeing the 480 as the next affordable upgrade, but free is always better! ^^

I have never used AMD CARD, my present gpu is from nvidia gtx960 and my previous card was gtx660ti and my first gpu was nvidia's 8500 gt.

I would like to try red instead of green this time.

Hey everyone, long time fan of the youtube channel. This is the first contest I've ever been a part of, and I know I won't win but it's always fun to try anyways!

 

My current rig is a fossil from 2011, sporting a FX-4100 and a Sapphire HD 6850. Both of which have held up for so long but the 6850, while perfectly ok with esports titles and older games just becomes a major hassle with newer titles! Fallout 4 was such a pain to get running with acceptable framerates and reasonable detail! While I'm a big fan of getting the most out of my equipment I think it's time to finally upgrade since I want to run titles like DooM and the new Tombraider game!

 

I'm currently saving up for an RX 480, but this would certainly help a lot, cheers!

I have a gtx 960 and it serves me just fine but i'd rather get a new AMD gpu to get into 1440p gaming i doubt im going to get it but a chance to get a gpu for free is too good to pass up.

Ive bought a  4k monitor recently and there is no way back now. With the high screen resolution trend in games and monitors the Polaris AMD card is very good choice.
Thanks for review and organising this contest. Good luck for everyone :).

I’m currently sporting a GTX 670 FTW 2GB graphics card, and the new AMD lineup would let me push my Unreal projects without limiting myself to my card’s performance.

Currently using an EVGA GTX 770 2GB.  That 2 gigabytes of VRAM is really starting to hurt in modern titles.  I have no brand loyalty and am always interested in seeing how other products compare.

I have R9 280x and it has been great for me. I only have some artifacts from time to time(newest fw, replaced the thermal paste and cleaned the fans).
Would really like to play my games without those artifacts :)

295x2 is what I use, I would like a new polaris GPU because my room becomes a bit too toasty during the summertime.

I own an FX 6300 coupled with an R9 270X

It's depressing to know that my rig can't max out the latest titles @ 1080p Ultra details anymore.

Getting an RX card would be perfect!! 

All of them have an 'X' in them, how cool is that!!!!!
