AMD Polaris Giveaway

[Dev Dhamija]

I have a Nvidia GeForce GTX 650. I'm borrowing it from my brother, and I want one so I can play Starcraft 2, Dota 2, CS:GO, and TF2. I've always been an AMD fan, and I am super excited about their new lineup. Go team RED.

[Abdiel]

Currently using an GTX 960 that the guy from the store where I bought my R9 290 gave me while my faulty card gets fixed (been 3 months of that now), and I want the RX 480 simply because it is a really great GPU for its price.

[Bignasty5850]

I honestly can't make use of this. My computer has a proprietary motherboard and no expansion slots of any kind, my friend however, is currently working on getting the dosh to build a new computer and he's going to let me build it for him because I'm more versed in it than him. Anyway, I'd love to save my friend the cash that we were going to spend on a 950 for an upgrade to his 720p monitor. Thank you for the giveaway Nick!

Upgrading from a Quadro K620 and am a big AMD fan mostly for the RX 480. This is a workstation build; I plan on using RX 480 in MDA so that I still get acceleration and PureView in SolidWorks.

[Daniel Farenheit]

R9 280 Overclocked, decent until now. But the upgrade would be nice in order to assure a few more years to my setup.

[Jacob Canale]

Currently, I am not using a graphics card in my "rig". I currently use a laptop, and i am hoping to build my own rig in the next year. I have built many computers, including a couple of my friend's.

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.

I currently have an AMD A10-5800K APU... So pretty shit. Getting this would be amazing luck and would help me greatly.

[Titanicmango]

Iv been running a 7870 for about 3 years now. While it does everything i want, I would still like to see what GTAV looks like at setting above lowest, with 60FPS.

[jae]

does it matter if someone has like 600 posts?

 

[Ramchams]

Hello Linus media group. My current graphics card is a gtx 780.  I would like to win this giveaway because currently on my setup I cannot play the games that I want to play on the settings that I want to play. Thank you AMD  for providing this giveaway and Linus Media Group for going through with it. Good luck to everyone else. 

[Mike Nosterud]

I'm running with a gtx 970. It would be great to get my hands on a new card.

[Australian-n00b]

I am running ancient Radeon 6800 X2 (cross fired of course) so i am in need of an upgrade

 

So running the new  AMD Polaris card will help me play Starcraft II at the highest setting you can go + many others

 

 

[Fat Baz]

I'm currently using the amd MSI r9 390 and it's a really great card, but the problem is that it is freaking LOUD and I can't hear myself think when I'm gaming...

Good luck to all!!!

[RiskyBiscuit]

Were the winners ever announced? I don't see them on the OP post.

I have built a gaming rig from an old hp server motherboard and its pretty cool. Its running an intel xeon e3 v2 clocked in at 3.1 ish ghz , 8 gb of kingston ecc memory , 3tbs of hdd , no ssds    , and a pretty damn old nvidea 9600gt 512 mb card from seven years ago  . I guess an upgrade couldn't hurt :3

Got a GTX 970 in my build atm. Would be awesome to try out the AMD card, since i also need a new GPU for my streaming PC.

[Thermostat]

Can't afford a GPU, running on my A10's chip :')

[Feel the Bern]

[TheUnsmilingCat]

got a 980ti, planning to convert some friends to the pcmasterrace.

but the coolest thing would be to get it after being like the last person to post

[Kevarms]

i want it. Please.  

 

 

Kidding. would love to win this. In fact anything AMD. Great company. Love how they just try to make everything better for everybody. Opensource and free.... Unlike ahem..... Nvidia where they just gouge and manipulate...

[DanielWGK]

I'm currently running an XFX R9 280x with four monitors. It'd be nice to have a little more grunt for gaming. I'm excited for this next generation of cards.

[pogo]

Still kicking it with my 9800gtx+, the rest of the system is already upgraded, but the GPU still does its thing running source games. 
Would be nice to get a new one, been a priority for a long time. 
Good luck to all participants!
