Win an Asus 260GTX Matrix @ DH !

Stop It · Aug 5, 2009, 09:57 PM

Asus should give me this card because they already have me the GTX275 (Thanks again DH! :P) and it would thus be very funny.

(Seriously though, er...it'll make a nice present for one of my family members :P)

Starkie24 · Aug 5, 2009, 10:40 PM

I would love to have this graphics card!!!! I admire the technology that asus lays out before us its always quality and always excedes expectations. I currently have an 8600 gts that tends to be quite inconsistant so anything like this 260 gtx would be a god send just like all asus products

This card if I do win will be put to good use in a loving home where it will be adore at ever turn. When not gaming the card will be folding to help out with a good cause to help find cures for cancers and Alzheimers and other protein folding related illnesses.

Thanks once again to asus for this opportunity

Asus should give me this 260GTX card because after gaming with my 4870X2, I need to be brought back down to earth and reminded of what games used to be like

Wrathbin · Aug 6, 2009, 03:32 AM

Why do I feel asus should give me this Crad? Because I have been a loyal asus customer for many of years, I am running the M3A78-T mainboard now and had the A8V deluxe before this and all the way down since the k6 days.

Also I am using the asus VW192 lcd monitor That I just recently purchaced and that card would look good on this screen, also when I had my computer business asus was the only mainboards I would recommend to my customers.

So yes I have been a loyal customer for years and it would be nice to win the assus card to go with the rest of my system that has asus all over it

rsc08 · Aug 6, 2009, 03:32 AM

When I heard that Asus was making a 4850 Matrix, I thought "uau, if only they would make a GTX260 Matrix"... Then Asus announced a 9800GT Matrix and I thought "uau, if only they would make a GTX260 Matrix"... And then Asus did it and it is absolutely perfect. And I should have it, because I dreamed it before it was real.

**kris23** · Aug 6, 2009, 03:34 AM

Asus should give me this card because i spent big money few years back on an Asus Maximus Formula instead of getting a better graphics card or a Quad-Core......

Both of which i am in great need of now....

nolonger · Aug 6, 2009, 03:49 AM

Asus should give me this card for the best of the human race, as I fold!

Dark Lord · Aug 6, 2009, 04:52 AM

asus should give me the card because im too damn broke for a new card, and my old x1950xt is starting to show its age.

Earthmonger · Aug 6, 2009, 06:58 AM

Asus should give me this card, so that I can void its warranty when I install the water block and really crank up its clocks.

Also, I wear my sunglasses at night.

Erroneus · Aug 6, 2009, 08:08 AM

ASUS should give it to me, because I will give it away

My dad runs an old ATI x1950pro, which simply isn't good enough for modern games and he could really use a 260GTX. Support an upcoming "old man" in the gaming genre, support my dad :P

ET3D · Aug 6, 2009, 08:10 AM

I think that ASUS has a good reason to give me this card, but unfortunately I can't state it here due to reasons of secrecy.

asedsa · Aug 6, 2009, 08:12 AM

ASUS should give me this card because I play computer games minimum 3 hours per day, and computer games are best thing on the this planet, I will die with my collection of computer games (including the games from commodore64 when I have started to play games).

Very simple, games are made in order to make people happy..........THANK you ASUS for great products, you are the part of people's happines.

buburuza76 · Aug 6, 2009, 08:12 AM

Why do you feel Asus should give you this card?

Because ASUS should help me move on from the "video on board" that i use on their motherboard.

Tipstaff · Aug 6, 2009, 08:46 AM

I should win, because I pretty much endorse all their products for free, and it's time I get something back. Suggest a motherboard that can support your upgrade and overclock needs for years to come? Asus. Suggest a video card that has a great warranty, and that I can easily replace since their distributor is just up the street from me? Asus. Suggest a nice looking, fast, and reliable laptop with a great warranty AND that comes with FREE STUFF (like a lappy bag and mouse)? Asus.

You guys owe me for all stuff of yours I've sold over the years.

Jac · Aug 6, 2009, 10:00 AM

I think Asus should give me the card because my prototype hover car nears completion - two more fans should do it.

To the skies

alextorex · Aug 6, 2009, 10:34 AM

I really love my wife. She recently gave birth to my second child.
I am sure that Asus understands that ultimately human love and passion creates marvelous things like Asus 260GTX Matrix.
I need this card to create the dream house for my family. I will create it in the Second Life and I will show it to my wife, then we will build it in the real life if she likes it.

tanka12345 · Aug 6, 2009, 11:06 AM

ASUS should give me this card because I want to have a card which can run (and get me started with) F@H without getting too hot or producing a ridiculously low PPD. Seriously, nVidia GPUs use HAX in folding to beat all ATI cards!

yfital · Aug 6, 2009, 11:21 AM

Well, to be honest, i don't deserve the card - i mean, i own a freaking 4870, so i'm not exactly "poor" in GFX performance.

But lets be frank, win7 is around the corner, and i can use dual ati/nvidia cards which should be freaking bizarre and awesome in the same time, so just for the love of watching me crawl trying to get it to work, shouldn't i get the card ?

I thought so.
Thanks in advance :P

LesserHellspawn · Aug 6, 2009, 01:37 PM

ASUS should give me this card, because my first and my current PC are powered by ASUS boards. The old machine has a 1995 P/I-P55TP4XE board and is still working !

SeraphicSorcerer · Aug 6, 2009, 01:37 PM

Why do I know Asus should give me this card?

Because it'll match the shiny new Asus 24 Inch monitor I just got baby. That's why.

Skorkeper · Aug 6, 2009, 02:15 PM

I'm building a new video editing rig for my youth group. They love filming videos using our green screen and our current video system is SLLOOOWWWW! Help a brother out ASUS. We need this card.

anonymous_user · Aug 6, 2009, 02:16 PM

ASUS should give me this card because my pathetic 6600GT is begging me to replace it.

gamer4life · Aug 6, 2009, 02:22 PM

I'm new to gaming on pc. I recently had someone build a pc for me specifically for gaming. The builder assured me that the graphics card he was buying would play all the latest games. I even requested a 600W power supply to power my monster graphics card. To my disappointment when playing games i would notice the screen stuttering. I enquired about the card and found that it was a 9400GT. I thought that this sounded pretty fast, gt for racing right!!!. After researching this card on the net, i realized that this was a low end card. I was heartbroken. I was having second thoughts about pc gaming. I've honestly never tried ANY!!! ASUS products before and i would truly like to see what they have to offer. I hope that this card would be the reason for me to stick to pc gaming.

It would give my HTPC one heck of a gaming power boost! Asus is free to stop by and check it out in action if I win

hurricane766 · Aug 6, 2009, 03:23 PM

ASUS should give it to me because it would match my ASUS mobo nicely

Hexotic · Aug 6, 2009, 03:53 PM

Asus should give me the 260GTX Matrix so I have the beginnings of a new computer to work with when i finish my upcoming stint of Military Training.

kevnam · Aug 6, 2009, 05:17 PM

Asus should give it to me because my HTPC with integrated graphics is very disappointing! Plus I'm a poor student who can't afford to buy one himself

permix · Aug 6, 2009, 05:31 PM

I should get it because I have no life, friends, money, personality, confidence, or attractive qualities, and my old card requires that I play games with settings that remind me of an old blurry, texture-less, washed out N64 game...but with poorer frame rates.

Make a man-child proud for once in his life, even it's just because of a pity vote.
