    Hi DCT,
    Thanks for the contest. I would be nice to upgrade my old graphic card which only support dx10, to a new one thats supports dx11.
    Best Regards
    Peter

  2. I just inherited a desktop with no display. Your timing is impeccable!
    Thanks for the chance!

  3. would be nice to upgrade from pci express 2.0 to a 3.0 also the direct x 10 to 11.2

  4. Done! Thanks Davescomputertips for this great giveaway and chance to win a very powerful product!

  5. It would be a great card for my son’s newer gaming machine, crossing my fingers.

  6. AMD R9 280X (rebranded Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition) have a better performance then my Nvidia GTX 670. Battlefield 4 Benchmark (Benchmarks: 1920×1200) AMD R9 280X better than Nvidia GTX 670

  7. I’ve been a slave to the Nvidia gods for seven years now and perhaps a little freedom is in order!

  8. Would like to give this to my son who loves playing computer games but complains how my computer just can’t handle the games that great because of the graphics card

  9. Being a pensioner I can only dream of owning a card like this. Here’s hoping!

  10. Just built a new system and looking for a graphics card. Would be nice to win one, instead of buying one. Thanks for the chance.

  11. Thank you for the opportunity to win such a nice gift. The only thing that I ever won in my life was a case of motor oil … when I was 12 years old.

    I’m 75 yrs young now and starting to get into photo editing/graphics and a card like the gift is described sure would beat the heck out of the stock card that came with my Wal-Mart purchased desktop Win7 OS machine.

  12. This would make a great addition to my computer since my old graphics card died. I can’t afford a new one at this time so I had to borrow a computer from a friend for now. Thanks for the great forum and news letters.

  13. Hey all,

    I would LOVE to have a current graphics card! I’ve always been about 3-4 gens behind- never had anything current vintage before (ie, I’m using a 1GB card from 2009). Before that? AGP! No kidding 😛

    Would be cool to see what Steam is all about?

    Good luck to everyone!

    Cheers.

    🙂

  14. Nice card, and thanks for the chance. Would do well in my machine as I prep for the coming influx of console and PC games coming in 2015.

  15. Boy, could I use this graphics card. I’ve been using the same tired ATI card in 3 different machines since 2005!

  16. I have recently taken on learning Photoshop. I find my existing graphics card lacking both speed and the definition I need to construct the art I am creating. Having this graphics card would greatly enhance my work and speed my learning.
    Thank you for this opportunity.

  17. Another Fabulous Giveaway and What a great Christmas present this would be for me to win.
    This a great graphics card that will allow me to play the more modern games instead of my old old games.
    Good luck to everyone.

    If I win this, I can up my video graphics sooner than expecting!!!
