Sure, here’s a super raw version:
So, there’s this wild thing happening with NVIDIA and their RTX 5090 GPU. They’re practically giving one away, but not just any old one—it’s got this crazy DOOM: The Dark Ages design slapped on it. And yeah, I’m kinda geeking out about it. I mean, I didn’t even know I cared about graphics cards until now, but here we are.
Ah, right. Back on track. NVIDIA popped this announcement on X (formerly Twitter, if you’re still calling it that like me) about this giveaway. They picked DOOM: The Dark Ages for the design, celebrating all that fancy ray tracing and DLSS 4 magic. If you don’t know what that is, don’t sweat it—I barely do. It just means stuff looks awesome and super real, or something.
The game itself? Released today. Everyone’s raving about it on Steam—maybe a bit too much, makes you wonder what’s really going on, you know? It’s the sequel to DOOM Eternal, which honestly, feels like a lifetime ago—2020, anyone? Graphics are supposed to be next-level jaw-dropping, if that’s your thing. An RTX 5090 is, like, the Holy Grail of playing it to the max.
I saw this tweet—stand and fight for your chance, or something epic like that. It’s all dramatic, but I guess that’s how you lure in gamers. “Like this post, comment #RTXON,” that’s all you gotta do, they say. Simple enough, but, of course, it’s not open to everyone. Some places in Australia, the Province of Quebec, the Middle East, parts of Asia–sorry folks, not meant to be. Always a catch, huh?
And yeah, this card—it’s loaded with a $2599 value, but get this—the official card’s $1999, with the wrap costing $600. Maths, right? Still cheaper than some of those custom beasts out there. Feel like I’m rambling now, but man, that’s expensive for just some gaming gear. It better make games look like you’re staring out a window into another world.
So, for anyone interested, the contest runs from May 15th to the 22nd—mark your calendars. If you win, they’ll ping you through email or DM. But here’s the kicker: you’ve got 48 hours to respond, or wave goodbye to that GPU. Anyway—shoot your shot if you’re into it. I’d enter, but well…I’m just here telling you about it.
