Let me win please! Looking to upgrade my system this summer and if I got a free gpu upgrade then I might be able to afford to overhaul the whole system. Or a shiny SSD. So yeah if luck is listening, now would be a perfect time to strike!
Entered, many thanks
Entered, thank Hexus unusually I'd actually rather win the second or third prize than the first - not sure the 6990 would fit in my case!
I think Hexus are actually getting pretty good at letting everyone know who's won the competitions - wan't there a big article listing all the recent winners only a few weeks ago? And as far as having competitions for forum members only, I'm sure there must be legal implications to doing that - since the comps are all of the 'no purchase necessary' variety I suspect that means that you cannot restrict entry, no? Then again, I could be talking utter garbage (wouldn't be the first time).
"I want to be young and wild, then I want to be middle aged and rich, then I want to be old and annoy people by pretending that I'm deaf..."
my Hexus.Trust
I would suspect it's more to do with the fact that competitions are meant to drive traffic to Hexus, not drive people away when they get frustrated that they have to sign up to some forums they aren't interested in just to enter a competition.
Of course, they're utterly misguided, because there are very few places better than Hexus, but it's not their fault that they don't understand
mmmmm, graphicky goodness! So, will any of these cards beat my SLI 8800GTXs (when I finish watercooling them)?
As to the competitions, the whole point is to drive visitors to the site, thereby (hopefully) increasing advertising revenue. I don't think there's any legal reason that they couldn't make the competitions members only, but that wouldn't really serve much purpose in a business sense.
So win one of 3 awsome cards no matter what place you come. Count me in
I wouldn't mind any of the 3 GPUs but I have a feeling I'm not going to win, a sneaky feeling called probability doesn't love you Q_Q. Oh and thanks Hexus for the sweet sweet competition.
Oooohh... If i end up with a 6970 or 6990 then it'll pretty much persuade me to build a more powerful rig around it (all from Scan.co.uk of course ).
I'm gearing up for an upgrade, but I couldn't budget for any of these cards normally My budget goes as high as a 6870 I'm getting a graduation 'present' from my parents which will cover a new mobo and Processor, this would be awesome to help me afford a dream rig

I believe TakTak won a competion, by virtue of being the only one who entered it. Also everyone who entered the drawing competition won as they had as many entries as product. I remember Zak's entry!
(\__/) All I wanted in the end was world domination and a whole lot of money to spend. - NMA

Bumpage. The competiton ended on 20/05/11. T&Cs say the winner will be notified no later than 14 days after the closing date. 8 days left...
If i win any of these cards then i'll give away my XFX Radeon 6870 dual fan edition GPU (fully boxed and only 3 months old) in a mini competition
