9800 pro video card winner: Bueno ! congrats

I posted the ATI interview with Terry Makedon a little earlier and he announced the winner. id like to say a congratulations to Bueno222222 who wins this awesome piece of hardware.

This competition was phenomenal as would be expected with over 600 entries and 10,000 views on the thread.

For those who didnt win, dont give up or feel too sad, we will be having more competitions in the future ! so keep your eyes peeled for future competitions.

Hope you can get some mad overlocking on that card. It's always nice to replace an MX card with a 9800 PRO.

I can guaran-damn-tee you that none of the contests on this site are rigged.

Ive known Zardon for quite some time and to hear someone even think he or Terry or any of the crew of this board would even thinking about such a deception makes me sick to my stomach


oh and future reference if the contests were rigged then I wouldnt have one on the last contest lol i can guarantee that.

BTW Terry and Zardon I am loving the keychain and T-Shirt (Most folks cant believe I would prefer this to a 9800Pro )

Congratulations, I am sure you will love it as much as I love mine. Just one piece of advice, make sure you get rid of all of the nvidia drivers before installing this one so you don't have any conflicts. In fact, you might want to consider doing a clean install.

Again congratulations, and have fun.
