DH Comp: Win an EXTREMELY RARE signed Dave Orton ATI card.

Zardon · Dec 19, 2005, 07:56 PM

Competitions are sometimes quite boring and we like to try and spice them up from time to time on Driverheaven. Everyone can go into the store and buy a graphics card or CPU but it is nice to have something that little bit special, right?

I have met Dave Orton (ATI's CEO) a few times and I have to say he is a very easy guy to talk with and has a good understanding of Drivers and support. We thought at Driverheaven it would be great to have something very cool to wrap up the end of the year ....... we have Number 1 of 5 X800GTO (256meg) cards that Dave personally signed with a red coloured ATI marker. These cards ARE NOT available outside of ATI and are sure to become valuable collectors items in years to come. The winning card will come direct from ATI so you will be sure of its legitimacy.

One of our reviewers Pete (Kombatant) reviewed this card a while ago and put it through its overclocking paces, and as you will see here it certainly delivers the goods!

To enter it is simple:

1: post in this thread "Driverheaven, the No1 tech support site in the world!" along with anything else you want to say ......

2: you can enter as many times as you wish.

3: There is no minimum post count limit to enter although obviously you need to be a member, staff may enter with the exclusion of the administration staff.

4: Winner will be drawn sometime in either January or February at random, (the more times you enter the higher chance you have of winning.)

5: ATI will ship the card worldwide, there is NO location exception.

Myself or someone in ATI will choose a random post number from the thread when it closes and the decision will be final.

The administration staff at Driverheaven would like to wish all our readers, members and lurkers a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New year.
