Annisman's 2nd ever Anandtech giveaway: Winners announced!

[Pohemi]

*DRUMROLL...*

While everyone teeters on the edge of their seats, awaiting the outcome...

I'd just to thank Annisman for being so gracious and bringing some excitement to the graphics section and the forums overall.

/enterclichestatement

No matter who gets the cards/games, we're all winners, especially Annisman. As surprisingly scarce as the entries were, I believe it still does a lot for the community here and hopefully will lead by example.

I didn't enter because didn't meet the reqs but Annisman has gained much respect from me for doing this feat. Great person for giving his hard earned equipment away.

 

[Krazy4Real]

I second that... this is an awesome contest and extremely generous of you.

PS - did my entry qualify me? I don't see myself on the list yet for the card.

 

[WaTaGuMp]

When my lottery investments pay off, I am going to give away some Titans. Well if they pay off before something better comes along. :awe:

 

[Annisman*]

You guys are awesome, it's why I do these things.

You stay classy Anandtech.

Great giveaway. Very generous. Thanks.

System:
Phenom II X4 B93 (nee 830, nee 925) at 3.2GHz
Corsair A50
Asus M3A78-EM
4 gigs DDR2 800
Sapphire 7850 1GB
750 GB WD Caviar Black
Benq DW1640 DVD Writer (still going strong)
Corsair CMPSU-750TX PSU
Antec Three Hundred
HP w2007

I actually just did a few upgrades. The B93 replaced a 7750 BE that had been in use since 2009. It was a cheap drop-in upgrade and has some nice overclocking headroom. It can do at least 3.5GHz--I haven't tried for more--but I've got it at 3.2GHz right now as I'm playing Saint's Row 2 and that game is a buggy mess that happens to do odd stuff at other speeds. I could do a bit more chip in this board, but why? And I'd like to wait a bit longer to see where things shake out before deciding which direction I want to go with my next board.

I also replaced a 9600gt with the 7850. The 7850 is good. It was a real upgrade, and can handle about everything, but I can't max everything--I have to turn down things a notch in The Secret World. I really wish it had more video ram. But it was a bit more than my budget as it was, and I really am enjoying playing games with most of the eye candy turned on. If you give a mouse a cookie and all that.

So I would certainly like some more GPU horsepower right now, and that 670 would fit the bill. It would also move right over to whatever my next build is. If I win this card I'll put it to immediate use playing The Secret World, Saint's Row 2, Civ V and the ton of other games sitting in my backlog.

Hey Notty, did you ever officially enter for the game ? I beleive your GTX 660 2GB would disqualify you from entering for the cards, but I wasn't even sure if you had entered for the games.
