He's not the only one *cough*PowerColor*cough* :wtf:

Also *cough*AssassinsCreed*cough*, *cough*GearsOfWar*cough*, *cough*SomeOtherGameICantRemember*cough*... I must be getting a cold or something...

Not to worry, I'm sure they won't be allowed in the contest.

I just wonder how people who are incapable of reading rules, can be capable of using photoshop. its illogical.

masquevale · May 28, 2009

If anyone seen this art somewhere else, feel free to tell me. I'll upgrade her once AMD/ATI releases HD5000 series

Is there a "Hardware Box Art" thread here at Techpowerup Forum?

reudh_ · May 28, 2009

Why people are submiting 5 designs?

saasouza · May 28, 2009

You can submit up to 5 entries according to the following announcement:

reudh_ · May 28, 2009

Okay. Thank you. I didn't read it because I was reading the post of the submitions (where you can see it has been delayed until 29 may) and it still shows you can submit up to three designs.

Tuor Telemnar · May 28, 2009

Yes, problem is the contest thread with the 29th was updated after the news announcement with the 31st. One thing is clear, up to 5 entries per user + small number of revisions.

Someone should clear that up or I won't be able to sleep tonight. :twitch:

buburuza · May 29, 2009

so it` 3 entries or 5? i saw some with 5 entries, and the rules say 3.

5.i got it. Thanks.

a_ump · May 29, 2009

tis the last day!!! wonder who will win it, my money is on saasouza

. Now is HIS just going to make one to send to the designer of the graphic, or is it actually going to use the graphic for mass production?

Sihastru · May 29, 2009

Yeah, I kinda hope it's the 31st of May, like it says on the News section, my last three designs are still under construction...

Still waiting on a clarification about that.

stormseeker · May 30, 2009

OMG, submission thread is closed :eek:

I was so sure that the end of contest was on 31st of May :banghead:

I'm easily confused with #'s... but they did say May 31 in News Post
http://www.techpowerup.com/92042/Design_Your_Own_HD_4890_Contest_Extended.html

They might take your designs, just email it to them, I did, it's worth a try
