Another competition I won't win… :(

Thanks to Hexus and nVidia for making it possible, though. :)

I don't know why I'm looking at this post agape as if you had said you'd won the lottery twice in two years, but nonetheless…

Weeell, I got my name it before you, so, no, it's mine actually.

Would go great with the i7 supermicro PC I won on here last year ;)

never mind winning something every couple of years, I intend to do it annually :D

that something, was just the GPUs. I didn't mention, the other stuff ive won. ;)

and fwiw, won on the lottery 5 times so far.. £50 total.
Posted by Eric F - Fri 27 May 2016 15:08
If I won this, I'd have to update the rest of my rig - it would be like matching a ferrari engine to the chassis of a go-kart! Mind you, that sounds fun :-)
Posted by TRUTHnTRINITY - Fri 27 May 2016 15:50

Nice…
If we are talking all-time wins then I have won a digital Camera from HP for answering a survey about 10 years ago, and I won £1800 on the lottery about 14 years ago, plus another £200 (total) off a couple of tickets at different times, plus around £200 in £10 wins on lottery too :D
Won £42 on lottoland last month too… I've done ok ;)

I definitely wouldn't look at buying one with how much it costs, but I'm definitely open to having one as a prize!

Thanks, entered. :hexlub: :drool:

The only stuff I've ever won (and I can count that on less than one hand) either ended up costing me money or was broken. :(
Posted by AndyM2012 - Fri 27 May 2016 21:21
I promise to clean all the dust out of my computer to send in a picture of this card installed if I win it! (Quickly checks for potential work: not actually much dust in there anyway :) )
Posted by pa1nkiller - Fri 27 May 2016 23:25
Disappointed to see UK retailers charging more for the cards with custom coolers than the reference coolers as opposed to nvidia's pricing structure in the US where the reference/founders cards are more expensive than the reference pcbs with custom coolers. Desperately need to win this!
Posted by fend_oblivion - Sat 28 May 2016 07:00
Best of luck, guys! :)
Posted by Spreadie - Sat 28 May 2016 10:42
Entered. Gotta try - it's the only way to get around nvidia's price gouging. :p
Posted by theleader - Sat 28 May 2016 11:37
I would rather have a new mid range laptop then a GTX 1080. You will see it on Ebay, if I win! :rockon:

I would wish everybody Good Luck! But that always seems to be self defeating!
Posted by golden_knight - Sat 28 May 2016 14:48
Hope to win ..thanks.

That's not very sporting.

I had to think twice about entering myself given the high heat output and lack of Adaptive Sync support. But given that it's starting to looking as if the interesting screens and ~7.5L cases are still a couple of years away it'd be a nice thing to tide me over for two or three years.
Posted by pastymuncher - Sat 28 May 2016 14:59
That would be a nice prize. I certainly can't afford to buy one at the ridiculous price that they are.
Posted by jamiehard1989 - Sat 28 May 2016 18:05

This would be nice. Would certainly spur on a 4K monitor purchase :D

Cheers Hexus! :hexlub:
Posted by eltel - Sun 29 May 2016 09:32
I've entered but with the run of bad luck I've had lately I stand no chance of winning this but you have to be in it to win it
Posted by Hoonigan - Sun 29 May 2016 09:36
There's so many “Glass half empty” characters in here.. You've got the same chance as everyone else.

Cross your toes and hope for the best :D

Not actually true ?
I'm seeing FE at £630 or so and AIB's at approx £550 ?

Good luck everyone . ;)

Wow, what an excellent competition Hexus/NVidia! Thank-you and good luck to all who enter! I think every single one of us that has clicked to enter is absolutely drooling over the prospect of winning such a mega graphics card.

Nice treat from Hexus. I suppose my chances are as slim as with a lottery but maybe one day eh?
Posted by HavoCnMe - Sat 04 Jun 2016 22:33
I have a GTX 470 that just died last month, now running on an old 4870x2 that was on my shelf. I need this new card..SOO BAD.

Hexus and Nvidia thank you for the opportunity.

Why does every competition let me enter multiple times?
The terms state that I'll get disqualified if I enter multiple times, but how can I know if I've already entered a competition?

Only one entry is permitted per household per HEXUS entry form; second Facebook entries, if applicable, are permitted. Duplicate entries on either form will result in disqualification and no entrant may win more than one prize.

Here's what happens.
- I log into my hexus account.
- I enter a competition such as this one.
- The page now prompts me with the message “Thanks for entering!
Your entry has been logged.”
- Now, if I enter again it still prompts me with the same message “Thanks for entering!
Your entry has been logged.”
But if I log in tomorrow or any other day I can enter the competition again, despite the fact that I'm using the same account.
Posted by stevie lee - Tue 21 Jun 2016 22:52
@c0k0snuts that's why you see people either ‘thank’ the first post or replying with these ‘entered’ messages.

the form entry seems to be stored in your local cookies as to whether you've entered or not. You log out, it clears your cookie, that's why it thinks you haven't entered next time you look at the page (or so I think,)

you should also get an email saying you've entered which helps if the competitions running for a while.

what I do is - -
bookmark the competition page, so I know i've entered.
then I check the links every now and again to see if a) competitions finished b) they've announced the winners and posted them on that page.
if no winners are listed, but the competitions finished they've either not drawn it yet, and/or waiting for winners to reply with name and address.
I have won once with a 2nd round draw because someone didn't reply in time :p

rinse and repeat with all the competitions and hope I get lucky (again;))

Count me in, seeing as I have no chance of buying a 1080 due to the absurd pricing of them just now.

I reckon I won't win this competition, so I'll have to spend a lot of money to upgrade. But I think I'll wait a little while until we see who else shows us their offerings.

We notify winners via an email - it's tracked, and they get time to reply, then reminded. If they don't answer within a specific timeframe then it's redrawn.

I am sorry @Rubarb that we are not good enough for you :)

Well,my 11 year old 200W6CS started to get some patches along one side in high contrast scenes,which was not that useful when editing images,and it was a decent price. I wanted at least a monitor with an 8 bit non-TN panel too,and reasonable calibration out of the box(colorimeter I have is old and won't work with new monitors that well) which pushed the price up. The monitor I got is now £30 to £40 more in the matter of two months(!). As usual other things have happened,so stuck with the GTX960 until next year methinks. Might need £300 for a midrange card by then at the rate things are going.

A bit worried if Mass Effect Andromeda will run OK next year - will see.
