    The page clearly states that you need to purchase a PhysX product to enter.

    Looks like a scam to get your telephone no and email address even if you don't buy a product.

    nah, not a scam mate...

    it's one of those things called a competition

    HEXUS has been having alot itself lately

    SCAN just gets more visitors that may potentially buy things.. and customers have the chance of winning a loverly prize which increases the likelyhood of returning to SCAN...

    it's not an Admiral Ackbar...

    Re: News - Scan.co.uk giving away an XFX GeForce GTX 280 every month!

    I guess the answer to the question is in relation to the xfx version? (as the nvidia page seems to show a different value)

    If you look at the xfx vs nvidia reference there are quite a few differences...lol.

    I should have done research before entering the comp with possibly the incorrect value (depending on which version they base the answer on); but even then the question is too vague

    Surely it has to be the value for the XFX card? The scan page with the competition link has only xfx products at the bottom too, everything on there is purely to do with xfx and not the reference nvidia cards.

    It would be nice to have someone from scan confirm this though.

    Well the reference design is a bit higher than the XFX one. I just put in the values for both as it is a little vague on the question. Hopefully they will accept my entry.
