TechPowerUp Announces GPU-Z 0.8.4 and PowerColor Fury X Giveaway

[haswrong]

Wow. Chance to win a free card worth over half a grand and first post says no thanks. That be just silly.

I'm in but if I win I'm giving it away to TPU forum people.

im in because facebook isnt involved!

though.. the inquiry could be more specific.. some people may seek big power consumption, while others low. but it asks for power consumption in general. thats weird from a logical point of view. same with other items. some people may want extreme noise and overclocking may be important for example only in the case when you are missing 2fps to get smooth animation in gameplay while vsync on (could become a non-issue with freesync feature enabled). i can always mod the cooling solution to meet my own parameters noise and efficiency-wise, and does it matter how the product looks? well, if its not as big as a dual socket motherboard, and it brings better than expected perfromance and looks like a useful piece of technology then i think we can deal with any colour or shape.. i think the questions could be a tiny bit more specific. this only looks like a material for marketing department on what order to write the features on the box and how much to charge for presence of those features.

an interesting side note: the $'s value as a currency increased about 30% since last year against other currencies, so basically for everyone outside the u.s. this is a one grand worth item, unless their income has risen 30% too.

As does the rest of Europe, probably. Just checked out the prices for where I live and they seem to go for over 700 euros/800 dollars.

Edit: Silly me, completely forgot to thank TPU and Powercolor for this amazing giveaway!

 

[RCoon]

I can't seem to open the download file.

I'm in if that counts.

Move it to your C:/ drive and run it

Tbh I doubt the survey aspect will influence the outcome of the give-away.
And like you said, it probably is just a way of customer profiling from the marketing department.

Nonetheless, AMAZING GIVE-AWAY!

The downloaded GPU-Z.exe doesn't work, or the installer?

Downloaded, I'll try Rcoon's method.

so not to forget: thanx power color and w1zzard of tpu

 

[GreiverBlade]

in and thanks for that giveaway nonetheless

 

[95Viper]

Thanks for the Giveaway!

Yep, the download worked; however, the upgrade lock up my listed system (x58 one).
But, after the reboot it was working and fine...

 

[Liquid Cool]

Appreciate the opportunity to win one of these....

Best,

Liquid Cool

 

[AlienIsGOD]

link or stfu ;p

real smart, tell off a mod....

it is just marketing research for powercolor. to be eligible to win you just need to get the memory bandwidth question correct, random draw between those

 

[Skizomod]

I'll try, we'll see

Thanks for the chance

 

[ReHWolution]

That's such a great opportunity! I got to be honest: I'm in doubt on getting a Fury X or a 980Ti, well, if I win this I'll buy a 980Ti so I'll try both these top-end GPUs
Thanks PowerColor and W1z for the chance to win a 650 bucks card

 

[SK-1]

Thanks for a chance to win! Oops...Two chances to win! fixd.

Australia as well:
$649.99 US = $840.11 Australian
But they are being sold at $999 which is actualy $772.73 US

But then again we do have very good consumer protection laws here. For example, if a product does not offer or perform as advertised then we can take the product back to where we bought it and get a refund (e.g. GTX 970 memory issue for false advertising of capabilities). We don't need permission from Nvidia, it's our right as consumers. Hence we tend to pay extra to the vendors for this protection.
Anyway....little off track.

 

[ReHWolution]

Remember: 649.99$ is Tax Excluded, so you got to add like 8 to 10% or more according to the State where you're buying!

 

[Basard]

I used a PowerColor AX3870 for five and a half years. The fan lived a nicotine-stained, cat fur infested life for 4 and a half of them... had to zip tie a 120mm on that beast until a friend gave me his 'old' 5870. It was a damn basic card, but it was a beast. Would buy one again, but I would rather win one instead.

 

[dorsetknob]

yeh so

$649.99 + 10% =approx $715
$715 = £454
so price in the USA inc sales tax at 10% = $715
Still on sale in UK at £599.99 inc VAT
call it £600 (its only a 1p)
£600 = $944.82

the maths say we are still being Shafted ( or is that extra $229 for the KY jelly they include for shafting us)

I still want to win one

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

Guess who got the answer wrong

 

[ReHWolution]

You gotta add your own VAT, so it's 650$+20% = 780$, add importing fees, custom fees and you have something like 850$, add 5-10% for the shop earning and there you go. The shafting is in the many taxes one has to pay...
Here, VAT Player sell it as low as 583€, while honest shops sell it for 720€+ that is 800USD+...not as high as UK prices but still higher than 649$ (573€)

 

[dorsetknob]

Remember: 649.99$ is Tax Excluded, so you got to add like 8 to 10%

make your mind up is it 20% sales tax or is it 8 to 10%
My price included British VAT
I still want to win a free one
