Win an Asus 260GTX Matrix @ DH !

Zardon · Aug 5, 2009, 01:04 PM

Are your games chugging along? Well our generous friends at Asus are giving away a 260GTX Matrix to one lucky winner. To find out how to enter, head over here !

Bolletje · Aug 5, 2009, 01:23 PM

I would love to work with the raw power of the GTX 260. Never did that before. That combined with a nice cooling solution is a winner for me

Oo, and the power saving technology is also a nice feature. Never really seen that from other brands before, so I'm curious how it works in real life.

Oo, zardon, some of the letters in the text aren't displayed well. Like this: from the userâ€”making

**Mousey** · Aug 5, 2009, 01:35 PM

Asus should give me the card so i can improve the frame rates i get whilst making Machinimas

Optix · Aug 5, 2009, 01:44 PM

Why do I feel Asus should give me this card?

I'm a huge Asus fan. They are the only motherboard manufacturer that I have ever used and I am using one of their heatsinks so I know the quality is there. Nothing sucks more than having to RMA some hardware and I have yet to do that with anything that Asus makes.

GeneralClaymore · Aug 5, 2009, 01:49 PM

They should give me another GTX260-core216 so I can show off that I have two at my friends.

GeneralClaymore · Aug 5, 2009, 01:51 PM

They should give me one so I can add another asus part to my asus using computer.

jasperchc · Aug 5, 2009, 03:06 PM

They should give me the asus card and hopefully with its power and some precision adjustment, i can finally break the matrix code!

**temeteus82** · Aug 5, 2009, 03:11 PM

Asus should give me this card because I have already spend money on their products in the past. It would be nice to get something for return!

mos2k · Aug 5, 2009, 03:18 PM

Asus should give me the card because i would love to own a luxury of the computer world that only a few can have and most of us dream about..

fire_kid2003 · Aug 5, 2009, 03:20 PM

They Should Give Me a Asus 260GTX Matrix Because
No 1 = I registered Because Of That
No 2 = I Don't Own A Graphic Card (Because they are expensive)
No 3 = There are no reseller in My Country

3FUN · Aug 5, 2009, 03:28 PM

Because I LOVE ASUS (see my System Specs) and because I have never won anything in my life.

Paldane · Aug 5, 2009, 03:38 PM

Why do I feel that Asus should give me a 260 GTX Matrix for the simple reason i will not say the following

"OMG, I never win I am a loser, feel sorry for me I hope you all die"
but i will say "Thank you"

_TDK_ · Aug 5, 2009, 04:00 PM

Why do you feel Asus should give you this card?

Well, i feel Asus should give me this card because, if i win, it will be the most powerfull, the smartest, the coolest and the most efficient hardware in my computer! ^^

~~ToHellAndBack~~ · Aug 5, 2009, 05:05 PM

I probably don't deserve this.
But I've been through a horrendous six months, having been diagnosed with a highly malignant form of stomach cancer, suffering horrendous levels of chemotherapy and radiation treatment but for no avail

Eventually had to undergo 2 surgeries before the doctors could completely rid my body of the tumor.

Now Iam in a recovery phase, slowing gettin better, day by day. Will probably haveto be on drugs for the rest of me life.

All this completely drained my financial resources, and Iam also accrued a significant amount of debt due to loans I had borrow due to my insurance not covering everything.

I used to be avid gamer but havent had a chance to properly get into it for a better part of a year. Winning this card would be a welcome break in my life and an incentive to move on.

Live long an Prosper.

mkk · Aug 5, 2009, 05:25 PM

I'm excited to hear about the power saving possible through Asus` design and will definitely look for that kind of technology in my next graphics card.

probmel · Aug 5, 2009, 06:04 PM

Why should Asus should give me this card?

because i want it :-P realy

and i want do look matrix (the mouvie) on the matrix card !!!
this will be fantastic isn't it

lepel · Aug 5, 2009, 06:04 PM

Asus should give me the 260 Matrix because I like the idea of quieter, less resource hungry performance.

IvanV · Aug 5, 2009, 06:07 PM

Asus would give me this card because they're such nice guys.

dagski · Aug 5, 2009, 06:36 PM

Asus would give me this card because i don't have any RoG gear(s) yet, only low-mid ranges.

procupine14 · Aug 5, 2009, 06:39 PM

ASUS should give me this card because they need to change my mind about nVidia products. Also, seeing as I have used their boards in almost every single one of my builds save for my HTPC (because let's face it quality isn't cheap and my HTPC embodies the phrase cheap). But hey at least the GFX in my HTPC is the ASUS 4550 HDMI

. In anycase I think it's time for a kick back

slugbug · Aug 5, 2009, 06:40 PM

Why do I feel Asus should give you this card?

So I may run folding@home on it and help researchers find cures for diseases which afflict our loved ones.

omprakash · Aug 5, 2009, 06:47 PM

Want to get experince of ultra-sonic speed & unbelievable performance for that Asus 260GTX Matrix @ DH !.

Tyrsonswood · Aug 5, 2009, 06:54 PM

ASUS should give me this card because I don't own a motherboard new enough that it would fit.........

SeenBean · Aug 5, 2009, 07:05 PM

So why should Asus give SeenBean this sexy hunk of technology?

Asus, I don't know if you're still down with you're roots but this might be my only way of contacting you.

EVERYDAY since about July of 1989 I've been mailing messages, calling, I've paged you over 6,000 times before my pager died. Now-a-days I send emails and texts, my bills are through the roof.

I need the money I lent you on the night of April 2nd, 1989 back.
I lent over $150,000 to the four who started Asus.*
I don't know if you guys are in control still or not.
But I need the money back.
You guys said you'd pay me back once you got settled in.
How is making almost 29 Billion in 2008 not settled in?

I've asked the mob for help, the Taiwan government, even Lamborghini (who you linked with in 2006 to make some hardware) with no luck.

Now I am asking DriverHeaven to help me.
And that is why Asus should hand over this sexy hunk of technology.

*Not all information given in this statement is completely accurate. I am not liable for damages to brain or laughing muscles damaged while reading this post. Please send me your Asus ENGTX260 Matrix to ensure your safety and the safety of your employees. Also note that my last statement was not a serious threat. <3

TGBre · Aug 5, 2009, 07:32 PM

I would love to have this card! I've been using agp card, and I can't play the coolest and newest games anymore, so I'm finally making the jump to pcie. This card would make my new PC build sweet!

Hexotic · Aug 5, 2009, 08:38 PM

Asus should give me the 260GTX Matrix...

So i can rebuild my dead PC, and allow me to get back to playing games my Laptop could only dream of running...

Intel 4500m does not like games.

YnHDaRkMaN · Aug 5, 2009, 09:27 PM

Asus should give me this card because I never had any powerful PCI-e card, and this one would be just awesome for my next rig I'm planning to build. Besides, Asus is known for the quality of its products, and this card shouldn't be the exception

agentdeep · Aug 5, 2009, 09:33 PM

ASUS should give me this card because I regretted buying an ATI card and I want to change it to Nvidia.

| raZor | · Aug 5, 2009, 10:08 PM

I've always admired ASUS' ROG line of products, ASUS always combines innovation & extreme performance, when you add amazing software and astonishing extras to the formula you end up with a must-have product, and that is the way with all the ROG branded products, even the accessories, I recently purchased the ASUS Rampage II Extreme, 1- because i'm a fan of ASUS' ROG line, 2- because i was simply amazed by the BIOS and OC'ing features that this board has, also i love the tweaks this board has, from the main things to the smallest, and to that last 0.01% of performance, also I really like the extras like the SupremeFX X-Fi sound card, and the LCD Poster for example.
the bottom line: I'd love to try another amazing ROG product
