It's a Fermi Blowout! Win A GeForce GTX 480!
Palit is giving away three Fermi graphics cards to select social network users.
Our friends over at Palit have launched a contest that could put a hot-n-tasty GeForce GTX 480, 470, or 465 graphics card into your hands. Contestants merely need to hit the company's three social website pages and show a little love.
The contest actually started Tuesday, and will run on through August 16, 2010. First prize is the GeForce GTX 480, followed by the 470 as the contest's second place prize, and the 465 as the third place prize. Palit is also offering a "mystery" fourth place prize (no, they won't tell us save for that it won't involve hamsters), and five other complimentary prizes.

Thought they meant that the next fermi card will have hair like Pauly from Jersey Shore...
NOBODY USES TWITTER, good luck!
Could you shorten that to Pauly Shore ...this sounded funnier in my head ...
Kind of funny how a contest for a $500 card can generate thousands of dollars worth of press.
blech.. I wish this social networking crap would go away.
Who uses myspace still... I think Tila Tequila is the only member...
I haven't used my myspace in over 3 years...
Only teen queens use all three of those POS... Something tells me they could give two Sh!ts about a graphics card (unlike me
). Now if it were Justin Bieber you'd have millions enter...
let me see: you have to hit all 3 social sites to register. We've already seen the research on the effects of each type.
1. twitter make people dumber
2. facebook makes people smarter.
3. myspace makes people much more vulnerable to ID theft.
So, doing this contest will make people both dumber and smarter, yet also much more likely to have their ID stolen.
I think I'll stick with my Facebook and continue ignoring Twitter and Myspace.
"Like" Palit? I've never owned a Palit product, so that would be dishonest. Ok, I've got some RL friends on Facebook, but I refuse to "tweet," and MySpace is a spam/scam magnet. FAIL.
Hmm... I use none of those websites. Damn. Now I know what it feels like to live in Rhode Island.
Only way to get rid of Fermi, eh nvidia? LOL
what a disgusting contest.
1. I havent actually used facebook since they started letting anyone make an account.
2. i've never used twitter, and never will. just no need for it
3. never had a myspace account.
how about i just click some link and fill out a littler entry form like the good old days of contests?
I think you need to edit this post, if you check there contest rules it says you only need to do ONE of of the three options.
I don't want Firmy. It's 30 degrees Celsius outside around here.
Oh I think this is one contest I won't be entering... Not going to do it.
lol
On a more sour grapes note, I like ATI better anyway way
So in order to enter its not good enough anymore to just have an account at Toms but now I must have an account for one of those shitty services? TOMS Why are you lowering yourselves to this crap??
You act as if Toms had something to do with this. They posted the link, that is all.
Facebook... twitter... and myspace
HELL NO.
great.. now i have to sign up for a twitter and a myspace to try to replace my 8400gt >_< oi why am i to broke to buy a decent rig... wish me luck
The site that Palit has says follow ONE of the three steps but Tom's Hardware is different because it tells you what to do in steps but not to choose. Weird.
Oh shoot! They JUST UPDATED IT TO DO ONE OF THE FOLLOWING!
MySpace and Twitter?? Really?
So funny how everyone talk smack but then later secretly enter the giveaway.
I have no facebook account.
I have no twitter account.
I have no myspace account.
I have a life. (and ATI cards)
Screw them, I am not joining some lame community in your face (Facebook) club to enter.
i would love to win this as a replacement for my 5770 but I'm too lazy to make 3 profiles on three websites I hate
Well i got a twitter account so i'll be entering and it's not so bad.and one the reasons i signed up was because gameloft was having happy hour for iphone games but you had to follow on twitter. so i gave in and signed up.to be honest i kinda like heck, even king james signed up this week.
You can enter by signing up to EITHER one of the 3.
I want to win.. My OLD 8800GTS ARE NOT GETTING IT ANYMORE
What in the hell is this? Facebook, it like spybook or my info for every one to see book and that it is a product of a CIA venture capital spin off so I will Never sign up there. Myspace is so dated and loaded with strange perverts like facebook. Twitter please some of us prefer to try and have a life that isn't the reporting of most mundane things.
THG Fail Whale!
