    My trip-up question was the 3 current games one - I most play legacy stuff

    As to how I'd spend £500 - well, I'd probably drop £350 on a mate for their Christmas present, and then treat myself to a new graphics card with the rest. Maybe a low profile 7750 so I could swap my gaming rig to a low profile matx box - that'd be pretty sweet

    Great competition - hope I win!

    It was so worth spending all my money on my screen just to be able to choose the 2560x1600 gaming resolution along with 27"+ screen size, hehe

    Entered. There are quite a few leading and/or assuming questions (such as people either know of, or care about driver x being slightly more stable than driver y) but oh well, its a chance to win a good prize.

    Re: Graphics Survey 2012! Win £500 to spend at Scan Computers

    Thanks Hexus!

    This is an awesome idea for a comp.

    As stated by some of the previous posters, I had to pick the best option for the answer.

    Thanks again though, this is a seriously cool prize, not that any of the other prizes in the other comps are not cool

    Would be beneficial to pick up another 670 and my third monitor or a decent headset. Anything would be a plus.

    I have one of the older high end CRT monitor 2048X1536 21".
    I wonder why they didn't made more options with others included?
