AMD Polaris Giveaway

[TheDudenator]

I NEED THIS CARD because I'm hobbling along on an NVIDIA 760. I need to upgrade my vid card and my monitor but can't afford both. Winning this card would be a tremendous help! Plus, NVIDIA is insanely expensive and getting too bossy. AMD is the underdog and I want to support them!

[DemonMark]

I currently have radeon 7970's in crossfire, Which totally sucks. Pretty sure my second card is dead, actually. 

[lszilveszter]

I have a gtx 770. I newer had an amd before...but would like to try it

[munkeyt]

GT750M

 

GIBE ME NAO PLS!

[Arturamc]

I'm running a gt740m, cuz my GPU stopped working a while ago. So plz, I don't wanna game on a laptop anymore.

 

[Flibblebot]

Radeon 7970 here. It does the job...just about 

[joshuaneigh]

Currently pushing a NVIDIA GTX 970, and the extra push would be nice. I haven't had a Radeon card in quite a while, as I began having heat-related issues with them, but would be interested in trying them out again. I would be using the card, primarily, for game and software development, as well as some moderate to heavy gaming.

 

By the way, I love the YouTube channel and learn a lot from watching. Thanks, Linus!

[eprotz]

Currently I have 2 pcs, one with a gtx740 and the other with a gtx 210. I think this would be a great update.

Cheers! from south América.

[Bogsterwheel]

I'm using a GTX 960, but a higher end graphics card would be nice

[Mr.Man Sir]

Currently a R9 380 occupies my first PCI-E slot as the primary and only GPU. I want my system to be Star Citizens ready and the great performance in DX12 and Vulkan the RX 480 offers can get me there.

I just found the actual thing instead.

*Insert obligatory "9 fps on minesweeper" joke here*

I want it because, obviously free = $0 = wowza good card for free? might as well sign up just for this and never post again in the hopes of getting something free, and because that's a good bit of money off the PC i'm gonna make around Christmas, but then there be Cyber Monday or Black Friday, so why still do this? mm becuz is fre

An overheating GTX 660 which is giving off multicoloured pixels all over the screen...

It's either this or a few months with a laptop since I've underclocked it by -500mhz on clock and memory. RIP

I have a Radeon HD 7700 Series card which is starting to struggle with newer titles which is why a shiny new card would be awesome.

[TrickyT]

Galaxy Geforce GTX 560ti on a Asus motherboard nothing special. Laptop has core i7 and radeon 6700 series.  But i'm currently saving up for a new build. Either of these cards would be a great match for my ultimate 4k gaming pc build. Yea it's been awhile since i've been able to pc game but I am finally getting back in the game since the technology is finally becoming more affordable.

[Kaotic_Nick]

In my current rig i'm running a GeForce GTX 960, I don't believe the Polaris is "better" then mine, but then again i'm fairly new in joining a PC community so I don't know much. But I'm glad I'm part of one, but that's not the goal I have for this competition. I hope to win because I have a friend who has a very out dated graphics card and he got inspiration from me building my first computer to build his own, but... He's still in the process of doing it and he doesn't have the money for all of it at the moment. He still hasn't told be what he will run on it but this was one of the suggestions I told him. Good luck to all C: 

[SinFront]

I dont have a GC as of right now and m in badly in need of one. So i guess that's a good enough reason.

[Tchello]

Well, I have a 750ti, which doesn't perform really that good. It kinda haves some heat problems and make me having to go down to 720p for some games.
With a Polaris GPU, I would have a much better experience while gaming, and some of my tasks (like redering some video for a school project) would be much easier.

As always,  thanks for the giveaway keep up all the great work. 

[Border]

Second hand Asus Radeon r7 260x.

It started displaying a lot of artifacts after a few weeks, even when not overclocked (it's not overheating), and i can't afford a new/different one - im just a poor computer programming student.
 

[Diredawn]

I have a HD 7870XT and I would really love to experience higher performance along with a lot more VRAM.

[Joe0121]

Im just rocking a 550ti because at the time it was the best GPU I could buy for 100 bucks or what ever it was and it supported dual 1080 moniters and I was used to dealing with nvidia drivers on linux. 

 

Im thinking ill go with an rx480 when I do my PC refresh next year and hopefully go to a single large 4k display with two 1080 displays on the side for doing cad and making videos for YT. 

[Spewj]

I'm having to RMA my R9 280 for the second time In a year and a half

[gravitonv8]

have a 980, but wanna build a rig for my steph brother

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 don't have a GPU. and I can't wait to afford one now.
