**temeteus82** · Apr 3, 2008, 10:18 PM

I need one since my current X1950 Pro ain't cutting no more...

IEMC · Apr 3, 2008, 10:19 PM

I deserve this card because I've been living with mediocre hardware all my life, and when I buy, it's usually on a small budget. Not only will this card jump start an awesome computer, but I'll be able to play every game I own on Ultra-high Direct X 10.

It'll go to a good home, rest assured.

It will also make an awesome early B-Day present. (18th is the day, May, of course)

BulletTheory · Apr 3, 2008, 10:25 PM

I deserve the 9800GTX giving away by DH.net because Im planning to chage my PC in the next week or 2 and I need a powerfull videocard!

Please pick me! and btw, my 21st bday is on April 14th! That would make the best gift

**Mousey** · Apr 3, 2008, 10:27 PM

I need the 9800GTX or the cookie monster that lives in my closet will eat me.

NUCLEARWINTER · Apr 3, 2008, 10:40 PM

i deserve the 9800GTX because i own an XFX 7900 that gives me artifacts on window desktop with no overclock, (temp not an issue in my house..i can't afford to keep furnace above a balmy 60 degrees F)

mkk · Apr 3, 2008, 11:03 PM

[COLOR="Red"]Because on the 1st of May the party would be pleased![/COLOR]

NAZ2222 · Apr 3, 2008, 11:08 PM

Well I've been looking for a good reason to buy new case, and winning a a card that is too big to fit in mine, sounds like a great argument! that and playing crysis and minesweeper in HD...

3FUN · Apr 3, 2008, 11:22 PM

I bealive that I deserve this card because its the exact thing that I need right now because I am building a new sistem with great components like ASUS P5E3, 2 DDR3 memoris, Core2Duo E6750 and I ran out of money, so I'm forced to run on a radeon 2400.

RobertBruce · Apr 3, 2008, 11:33 PM

I deserve this card because I am building a new system right now, and I have a 7950 gt that IDLES at 60 degrees.

[hobo]eclipse · Apr 3, 2008, 11:41 PM

Give me the card so i can show off my hybrid SLossIfire results!

Donnie · Apr 3, 2008, 11:42 PM

Please, I am the one that deserves this card, since I just want to play "TETRIS" and I just can´t.

Maybe that was possible, with that awesome card, handling those freaking awesome 2D graphics of "TETRIS".

TETRIS for the win (yes I like "bubble bobble" as well)

Lowfat · Apr 4, 2008, 12:15 AM

I deserve the Zotac 9800GTX because....well just give it to me or I'll kick your ass

amdcrankitup · Apr 4, 2008, 12:21 AM

Look guys My current system is s Amd K7/600 mhz,384 mgs of ram,and a 32mg video card,I had 3 killer rigs prior to this but I lost them my home and and my job because Ive been sick for a couple years due to a minor stroke,2 brain surgeries,and 1 heart attack. So Im trying to build me a new toy.Im on disability so that kind of leaves me poor or (financially Challenged) But Im still alive so Im thankfull to God fot that. So far I,ve managed to buy me a new case a Coolermaster 690 but thats as far as ive got.So possibly winning the card would be great.It would go great with my wish list which so far would be a Intel E8400 (Wolfdale) and a Asus Blitz Formula) LOve overclocking so it would be great! Regardless whoever wins wish you all good luck and look forward to being a member of the Forums.

nheimler · Apr 4, 2008, 12:23 AM

Turning the big 3-O! That should be depressing enough to pick me! Nuff said...close the contest!

Dark Lord · Apr 4, 2008, 12:25 AM

i need it so i can have a real reason to update my system to a nice new high end system, and stop playing around with this agp card.

LordLink · Apr 4, 2008, 01:36 AM

I need this card not because it's a 9800 GTX but rather because Zotac matters

Capo64 · Apr 4, 2008, 01:47 AM

I need it so the arcade games don't lag no more :}

RyuGTX · Apr 4, 2008, 02:02 AM

So I can utilize it's amazing video acceleration for my high def pr0n

, I mean blu-ray movies like Alvin and the Chipmunks.

apachon · Apr 4, 2008, 03:41 AM

why not me ???

**kris23** · Apr 4, 2008, 03:46 AM

because i have no other life besides gaming.......

the day i bought Crysis, i spent 2 days working on it..... all day from 5am to 3am

no breakfast lunch or dinner......

no showers, fresh clothes or deodorant......

no more than 2 hours of sleep for two days and no need for bathroom break..... my system was already emptied out.

while Crysis was beat.... i wasnt satisfied with the performance of the game...

so with this card... i can disappear into my room once again and play something like Call of Duty 4 and simply wont stop until i beat it......

i have no life besides gaming and computers.... so if you entrust that card to me..... it will allow me to continue living in my little fantasy world.... save me from coming back to reality...to the place where theres gravity....

if i get that card.... my little world will be displayed in more vivid colors and textures...
and when i fall asleep.....i can dream im in the game just as i seen it with the 9800GTX.

slugbug · Apr 4, 2008, 04:35 AM

I'd like to win this graphics card because it would look nice next to my shiny new Crucial Ballistix DDR3 ram

topbob · Apr 4, 2008, 05:18 AM

I think I should get this card because my life will look, and run all that much better, with it installed.

inspire · Apr 4, 2008, 05:30 AM

I believe I deserve the zotac 9800GTX, because I only get 5000 in 3dmark06. And the thing that is pulling me down is my gfx card!

Tril · Apr 4, 2008, 05:32 AM

You should give me this 9800GTX video card because Crysis is so slow on my rig that at first, I thought this game featured bullet time.

sbrehm72255 · Apr 4, 2008, 05:36 AM

The reason I want to win the cards is so I can toss a little water cooling on it and OC the crap out of it, plain and simple.

|2A|N · Apr 4, 2008, 05:39 AM

Top 20 reasons not to give everyone else the card!

1. Its my first post
2. I'm poor
3. I'm a post whore
4. I donate
5. I'm a Mod
6. I'm a Mods Friend
7. I'm gonna sell it
8. I'm on disability
9. I'm turning 30
10. Because I'm a showoff
11. Because I'm a noob
12. Because I been living with mediocre hardware all my life
13. Because I own an XFX 7900 that gives me artifacts on window desktop with no overclock
14. Because I just want to play "TETRIS"
15. Because I'll kick your ass
16. For a real reason to update my system
17. because I have no life besides gaming and computers
18. Because my pet just died
19. I think it will pwzors
20. Because I never won anything in my whole life and I'm 99 yrs old and only have a few days left to live

Reason I should get this card.

Because I just spent 10 minutes going through each response on here telling you why not to give it to them rather than why to give it to me! Rather genius if I say so myself

Either way DH Rocks and GL suckers

Ecology · Apr 4, 2008, 07:39 AM

I 've always had an ati card.it's a good chance to try a nvidia.

bye

Froodent76 · Apr 4, 2008, 07:50 AM

I live in a third world country where the GDP are so low that poor people in the West that claim they live in poverty will feel otherwise.

My current VGA is still an nVidia 6800XT on AGP! The current pricing on computer prices are so overprice but nobody can't seem to do nothing about...

Please please let me have the card so I can at least enjoy life as it should be...

The Zotac 9800 GTX will enable me to successfully complete my plans for "World PWNination"!
