Man, let me tell you about this wild giveaway thing I stumbled upon today. NVIDIA’s throwing this bonkers contest where one lucky soul can snag a custom RTX 5090 GPU. And get this—it’s decked out in some gnarly DOOM: The Dark Ages theme. If you’re into DOOM, this one’s like hitting the jackpot with a double rainbow.
So, yeah, NVIDIA just dropped this news on their X (formerly known as Twitter) feed. They’re hyping it up as a celebration of the wonders of native ray tracing and snazzy features like NVIDIA DLSS 4 + Reflex. I don’t usually get all hyped about giveaways but, hey, this one’s kinda screaming for attention. Think the game went live today too and everyone’s buzzing on Steam about how it’s a sequel to DOOM Eternal. Snazzy visuals and stuff.
You know, they shared this tweet that went like, “Stand and Fight for a chance to win.” Made me laugh for some reason. Maybe it’s how ‘epic quest’ it sounds, or I’m just in a weird mood. They’re basically saying, “Like this post, drop a #RTXON comment, and you might just find yourself holding this beast of a GPU.” But if you’re chilling in some parts of the Middle East or Australia, you’re outta luck. They excluded a few places, which kinda sucks but what can you do?
Honestly, if I had two grand lying around, I’d probably go cop the RTX 5090 Founders Edition myself. Costs about $1999, and this custom wrap they’re slapping on is another $600. So you’re looking at a $2599 tech beauty. Makes my wallet shiver just thinking about it.
Oh, almost forgot—they’re running this shindig from some ungodly hour Pacific Time (yeah, figure that out) on May 15th, 2025, straight through till May 22nd. So, one week of suspense. Then they’ll ping the lucky person, hopefully not while they’re napping, ’cause you’ve got just 48 hours to give ’em a thumbs up or lose everything.
Anyway, good luck if you’re entering! And if you win, maybe slide me a note and let me know how the thing looks with your setup.
