Rage3D Competition: Win a Sapphire HD3850 512MB GDDR3 AGP Card
 Rage3D has a longstanding tradition of giving away things of certain awesomeness, one that has seemingly become forgotten during recent times - no longer is that the case! Teaming up with our friends, the great guys at Sapphire, we're looking to fill your AGP slot with the best GPU it can be matched with: a Sapphire HD3850 512MB GDDR3 AGP video card! Why AGP? What better way to flame the old giveaway fires? What better way to honor those die-hard Ragers who have stuck with AGP through thick and thin? Be sure to read the Contest Instructions before posting! ~~~ Tuesday, June 10th, 2008 - Contest End Over 350 excellent entries later, the winner is chosen (insert drum roll here please) ... Congratulation Honsy - you have finally atoned for killing the RLD! Thanks again to Sapphire and ATi for sponsoring this contest ... consider this a warmup for more competitions in the future!
