Win an Asus 260GTX Matrix @ DH !

x.clay · Aug 6, 2009, 06:39 PM

Asus should give me this card so I can crank up the settings on all my games and so I can get back into GPU folding.

Deathman2 · Aug 6, 2009, 07:28 PM

My current 8800GT is showing its age now in newer titles or even how it will run COD:MW2 or BF1943 and this seems a nice opportunity to fix this issue.
I’ve always been into quiet, cool cards. On my 880GT I replaced the default cooler with Antec’s AC1 cooler and fans. To get a card which already comes with this feature would be spot on and all the extra’s Asus have built in are just amazing.

mac_angel · Aug 6, 2009, 07:36 PM

why do I think ASUS should give me this card? easy. THEY OWE ME!!!
I bought a 9600GT card a few months ago and it had a mail in rebate. I sent everything in and I opted for the fast turn around time, meaning I give up $2.00 and get it back in two weeks. A MONTH later, after constant calling their rebate department and only able to leave messaged I get an e-mail back saying that I didn't hand everything in; that I was missing the proof of purchase. This was an outright lie and I mailed it with 2 other people present that was waiting around for me to photocopy my proof of purchase just for this rebate.
Again, constant calling and e-mailing and I've gotten nowhere with this. I keep asking for a phone call to discuss this matter and I get nothing in response.
I have kept all of my e-mails so I can prove all of this. And the phone calls were done on my cell phone, so I can prove those easily enough as well. If it wasn't only $18 then I'd be going after them in small claims court. Their products might be good, but their customer service sucks A$$.
and anyone that wants to look this up....

Why do you feel Asus should give you this card?

I use an ASUS motherboard, so i invested money in ASUS as they mean

quality. ASUS should exceed my expectations and give me this card so

they can show me that my trust in them counts.

Why do I feel Asus should give me this card?

Have you seen the 21st Hall in Lord of The Rings Online on a Friday or Saturday night? I thought it might be network lag but I checked and everything was fine. My frames per second drops to 6 when I hit that area. That's right. 6!

This thing would smoke that game and just about any other plus it would make a great addition to my upcoming LGA1156 build.

janhunter · Aug 6, 2009, 09:58 PM

ASUS should give me this card because I could then afford to get a high-end ASUS motherboard.

Burdokva · Aug 6, 2009, 10:57 PM

ASUS should give me the card because I say so, Dare see what happens if they don't? You scared? Ha-haaaa...

Sorry, I attempted to immitate the crazy robot killer Roberto from Futurama.

t0ucH · Aug 6, 2009, 11:34 PM

There is no should, or should not.

Karma will naturally please me in material ways with substances like this oh so mighty card.
My current (tarot) card tells me that there is possible to get a lot more gaming performance,
and that 260GTX ROG-edition will cause me pleasure in unimaginable ways!

With this high tech graphic device I will be able to coexist with the universes that I, for the time being,
only can connect to visually and audiolly.

Opethvs · Aug 7, 2009, 12:47 AM

Maybe because i was lucky enough to find this site and this competition all while googling for a cellfactor revolution fix

skylineaddict · Aug 7, 2009, 02:33 AM

I think ASUS should give me this video card because I've had their passive cooled 9600GT for over a year now, and it has never failed me even after overclocking it to 775mhz!

skylineaddict · Aug 7, 2009, 02:37 AM

ASUS should give me this video card because I'm heading into college as a Computer Engineering major and I will need a powerful card to work with CAD and other 3D applications (Not to mention I'll be gaming my bottom off during my breaks).

skylineaddict · Aug 7, 2009, 02:38 AM

ASUS should give me this video card because I won't be able to afford ANY luxury items once I pay my college fees for my first semester.

skylineaddict · Aug 7, 2009, 02:39 AM

(Ban me for spam... I can't stop myself! I need this card!)

ASUS should give me this card because I am their most loyal customer, next to the hundreds of other people that posted in this topic.

Rahazan · Aug 7, 2009, 03:59 AM

Asus should give me the card because there is no reason not to.

covertash · Aug 7, 2009, 05:55 AM

Obama gave me the chance to do the Cash for Clunkers program to trade my gas guzzling Volvo for a sizeable chunk of change put towards a brand new environment friendly Honda Civic! Asus should give me the chance to replace my chugging X1950XT for this new GTX260 so I can beat my games faster and use up less electricity over time! Do the environment a favor!

BigBadBear · Aug 7, 2009, 07:59 AM

ASUS should give me this card because I am a fan of ASUS cards. You couldn't have too many fans of ASUS cards

kramgref · Aug 7, 2009, 08:05 AM

I want it , Im just about to build a new pc and if I got the card then I would just have to but all my other gear from asus so every thing matched and ran perfectly together ,if not then well who knows what I will buy.....

idbaghera · Aug 7, 2009, 08:13 AM

I want this video card for my little brother, can not play at all with a MSI 4870, hot card,blue screen,bad driveres, wants to go back to nvidia and it would be a good opportunity to make this .Is willing to change with this card
Nice card, and i guess is verry quiet, i hope to win

naveen86 · Aug 7, 2009, 08:18 AM

hey ASUS have a look at my current PC specs.

AMD phenom II X4 940
ASUS Crosshair II Formula
G.Skill 2*2GB 800MHz Ram
2*250 Seagate 7200RPM HDD in RAID 0
Corsair TX650 PSU & here goes the most important part....
NO GRAPHIC CARD!!!!
so,i'm the one who needs this GCARD the most...
it's like saying YOU COMPLETE ME...
this Gcard completes my PC..

Cow_160483 · Aug 7, 2009, 08:30 AM

ASUS should give me this card because i have never owned an Nvedia card in my entire gaming life and would love to try out some of their cards and this seams like the perfect opportunity to try out some physics rendering

naveen86 · Aug 7, 2009, 10:02 AM

ASUS should give me this Card because A PC WITHOUT ASUS PRODUCTS IS LIKE A HUMAN WITHOUT SOUL..

naveen86 · Aug 7, 2009, 10:29 AM

Asus should give me this GTX 260 because this is what happens when you Overclock a Non ASUS Card.......

cgtsilver · Aug 7, 2009, 10:54 AM

Well basicly need this card! I currently have ati, and never had the money to experiment with another brand of card especialy one from the ruplic of gaming den. So please Asus and Driver heaven make my dream come true so i can have the ultimate Pc experiance.

Slackin · Aug 7, 2009, 10:56 AM

Asus Should give me the card for 2 main reasons 1.) because I've always been a big fan of Asus Motherboards, purchasing my first back in 91/92 and haven't bought any motherboard since except Asus, & 2.) I'm so sick of watching other players literally do circles around me in FPS games. Asus being as competitive as they are in the video card market can surely appreciate the need to one up the competition

Slackin · Aug 7, 2009, 10:59 AM

Asus Should give me the card becuz while reading the information on the website, I just redecorated the picture on my monitor "American Pie Hairgel" Style, if you catch my drift..

sushrukh · Aug 7, 2009, 11:05 AM

I'm a huge Asus fan & i always gone with the Asus products.Asus should give me this card because i'm a very loyal to them, always purchases their products & i need an Asus graphics card in my system to stop lagging my games.

Odinarius · Aug 7, 2009, 12:00 PM

Asus should give me this card because I can`t hear anyone more then 5m away because of the noise my current graphic card is creating! I need something cooler and quiter desperately...

Bobeca · Aug 7, 2009, 12:09 PM

I am building a new PC, but I don't have money for GPU HDD and PSU, because I am spending all my money for school lessons so that I can pass my exams.
If i have a good score on the exams i will be learning 3D modeling & animation.

LilRazor · Aug 7, 2009, 12:20 PM

Why do you feel Asus should give you this card? cause i like the fan design and the black theme also im sure to pimp it with blue leds once i get it ^^

Snaksa23 · Aug 7, 2009, 01:37 PM

Because I allready own a 260GTX, and I need a second one to put it in SLI so I can frag people at he highest posible frame rate when modern warfare 2 comes out! xD
Thats why I should get this card! xD
