I didn't want to spoil the results for anyone but I'm a time traveler from 2011. It turns out that I actually won this Zotac 9800GTX and have been using it several years without issue. It's a great video card, I've played all the coolest games like Gears of War 3, Battlefield 4,Duke Nukem Forever and Grand Theft Auto: Toronto. So let's just dispense with the pleasantries and award me the prize...its destiny.

There are many reasons why i should get this card:
1)I registered in this forums just by getting attracted towards this thread
2)I Love games but never got to play latest game just because of my crappy gfx that i have
3)It saves me a lot of money and i never even dreamt in the wildest of my dreams that i would be playing games on a really high end graphics card but i started dreaming now(thanks to driverheaven)
4)I know i will get this card because i believe that driverheaven is here to fulfill my greatest dream ever!!!!!!

Prole · May 1, 2008, 02:59 PM

Yup, should be closed soon, the hour of reckoning surely must be drawing nigh, high noon, tolling bells, and all that. Its been fun reading the assorted entries every day or two...man did not did not do well for my lads only entering but once and being short, not very sweet and direct.

Should of dusted out the rhetorical neural pathways, some pretty creative, imaginative and funny entries in here lol. Strongly suspect won't be calling my sons and saying guess what...!?!?!?!!?!!!!

They are good lads, chastised me when I built 'em their Barton 2800 FX gpu rigs..5950's if recall serves, told me I should of bought cloths, put towards a better cage (enclosed 4 wheel transport device) or fixed my scoot, touched me it did. All I could tell 'em, "You'll understand when you have spawn of your own". Have not seen 'em will be two year come August, they are only 5 hours away..but even if the cage could be trusted, well there is the cost of fuel question the last couple years especially currently heh. In hindsight, the lads were perhaps wise beyond thiet years "towards a better car" Just struck me now, damn maybe should ask 'em to come up with some lottery numbers hahaha.

Well one thing is certain, for most of us that entered, indeed if not all to a bloke and blokette, things could be far worse, we all have comps, net access, worry about building a decent rig for our kids as in my case, or ourselves, upgrading etc.. whereas there are those who fret over feeding the kids, paying the bills, keeping a roof, even if a hut or hovel and far, far worse than that...nope none here can truely say we "deserve" this shiney that dazzles and captivates the Raven's eye....on that note Best of Luck to Everyone...hope it goes to one in straits rather than one that could acquire one or two or three without so much as a fleeting blink.

This post is not intended as an entry.

Again Best O'Luck All

Why DH should give it to me.... Because I'm the Mr. Nice guy in here...

chaitanyaraghav · May 1, 2008, 03:54 PM

I Should Get this beauty also because im downloading my all time fav game "Dangerous Dave" which is a real beauty in itself......i just cant imagine playing that game at 1600*1400 ;16AA
know what?? it also uses motion blur and HD making the game a lot more fun!!!
Hope i play that game without any lag on this zotac queen!!!!
This is it::Hope this card could handle my game!!!!!!!!

Neshi · May 1, 2008, 04:37 PM

I should win this card because I'm the last one posting!

Mourgolikos · May 1, 2008, 04:52 PM

Not really :P
So i beat you

alex_f408 · May 1, 2008, 04:55 PM

ok well long story a little bit shorter. I always thought gaming on a computer was a nerd thing

. Then one day me and my friends stop at a kragens to get some oil for our(ok... my) bucket. and there it was... a place called skynet. people outside eating twizzlers and drinking bawls. went inside to take a peek

. counterstrike.. i was hooked. but $10/ 3hrs i needed to find a way to do it myself.here we are 5 yrs later... i built my first computer.. im so proud

. i went to frys

anoyed a lot of people so now i have: antec 900 case,gigabyt p35ds3l m board. e8400 cpu, 4g crucial ballistik, 500g seagate sata, coolrmstr 600w ps, zalman110m cpu cooler

and .............. da dada! a 8600gts256 mb

. i thought i was tight

. till someone told me my graphics card sux.

(actually a few) .this is why i need the zotac 9800gtx

. i think that'll shut em up

. please dh.net. hook a buddy up. if not at least wish me luck, im gonna go to a competition (cod4)in san jose,ca (my hometown where it all started) called nvision08 im so juiced

.... i just need my comp. to be too. well take it easy. thanks =D

...oh and if anyone thinks that gamers are just a bunch of nerds, theyre wrong.... well maybe some of them are.. but everyone i've met so far, thanks to gaming on a pc, have been pretty cool people. peace yall

chaitanyaraghav · May 1, 2008, 05:02 PM

By what time will this competition end?
just cant wait to get the results!

sushrukh · May 1, 2008, 06:14 PM

Have patience man.When the time comes, Zardon will lock this thread himself & will announce the winner.So, post away.Untill the thread isn't getting locked by Zardon, the contest will remain on.Atleast i think so.

alex_f408 · May 1, 2008, 06:21 PM

good luck everyone

indikator30 · May 1, 2008, 06:27 PM

waiting for the closin' eh my son

I'm afraid that ur dear admin won't be able to do that soon or ever
as we are not patient enough for this competition to end
we decided to let say held him in our hand by some force

after some physical and especially mental treatment
soon enough he will tell us where did he kept the prize,
and then nothin in this tiny world will be able to stop us to get it
I already foresee the dawn of our brotherhood glory days, huahahahahahaha

Longlive Kane!!!!

NAZ2222 · May 1, 2008, 06:52 PM

Yeah yeah, all big 3D cards, but what about 2D? Perhaps this Zotac 9800 will make it to the 1000FPS in Lemmings, and make the game finally frame rate playable!

CoolZone · May 1, 2008, 06:56 PM

The 2D speed is not increased at all at these new cards.Consider that you have for example the same 2D speed like a Geforce 6200 or 5200 when you have a 9800GTX

NAZ2222 · May 1, 2008, 07:00 PM

Maybe with this 9800 GTX I will finally see the Cinematic MOTION, that Cervat Yerli thalked about so much in crysis! until now it has been more like powerpoint presentation!! the game menu runs good though...

I know, maybe it was not funny, but it was supposed to be a joke

NAZ2222 · May 1, 2008, 07:10 PM

DH 9800 GTX competition, more visited than a torrent server porn list!!

Aledronix · May 1, 2008, 07:26 PM

I think I'd be getting a heart attack from all the excitement if I was older

I'm literally shaking in anticipation

I think Zardon is testing to see who is the contestant most aligned to his chi(as in shutting up 'till the results come out). I'll go do my yoga and by majestically falling off my feet from the awkward position, a bang on the head will send me to that alternative dimension where I'll see myself opening the box and when I wake up, it will not have been a dream

Good luk to all of you and whoever gets it should open a thread to tell us how it's working, I know I will!

me972 · May 1, 2008, 09:18 PM
