ATI Technologies Rage3D and ATi Competition - ATi HD 4850 Crossfire!



When we told you to stay tuned after the closing of our last competition, you might've thought it would take quite a while until we had something new to give you guys - think again! Teaming up with our great friends from ATi, we're bringing you serious gaming power - 2 Teraflops of it! You might've heard about that little 4850 card that was launched yesterday? Yeah, that one, with incredible performance and a lovable price . . . well, two of them are up for grabs, for twice the fun.

Read the full Contest Instructions and get to spamming posting!

~~~

Tuesday, July 20th, 2008 - Contest End

Giving away 2 teraflops of power is like giving Excalibur to Arthur ... not something easily done. With the Lady of the Lake missing in action, we asked her apprentice Kirill Rotenberg to give us a hand with the deliberations. After secular battles spanning two days, we are ready to congratulate the winner:

Vista's Windows Experience Index will need to be patched to recognize CrossfireX's OMFGWTF awesomeness


Nice job heon2574! Enjoy the beasts dude, and don't use them to guide missiles or call in the aliens!

entry 1 :2 Teraflops of power will provide me with enough epower to do the ultimate flop of all flops.

Entry 2 :

Cookie + monster = cookie monster
2 Teraflops = monster
Me + 2TF = E monster

Entry 3

for (int me = 0; me > 2TP; me++ ) {

epower++;

IF (epower == 1TP )
cout << "Megaflop"
IF (epower == 2TP )
cout << "Asswhoppingflop"

}

You will be rocked so hard that when you play Duke Nukem 3D and it WILL turn into Duke Nukem Forever at that very moment.

You're world will be rocked so hard that every terrorist in the world will explode and the middle east will be saved by Ruby.
Separate posts. More chances of winning.

Having two teraflops in the gaming world is like having two Ferraris in RealLife. Lets face it, ATi cards are red for a reason.

2 teraflops of gaming power could give you the power necessary to break into a 4th dimension in games.
