So, check it out. NVIDIA’s doing this thing — they’re giving away a seriously cool, custom RTX 5090 GPU. And here’s the kicker: it’s all decked out in this DOOM: The Dark Ages theme. Man, sometimes I think life is just a series of giveaways, you know?
NVIDIA Tosses Out a One-of-a-Kind DOOM-Themed RTX 5090 GPU
Guess what? Popped onto X today, and bam, there’s NVIDIA telling everyone they’ve got this one-off RTX 5090 GPU up for grabs. It’s tricked out with a DOOM: The Dark Ages wrap — which, by the way, looks insane if you’re into that kind of thing. Apparently, it’s all about celebrating that sweet ray tracing in the game, plus NVIDIA’s DLSS 4 and Reflex stuff. Not sure what half of that means, but sounds fancy, right?
Anyway, so this game, DOOM: The Dark Ages, just dropped, and people are already losing their minds over it on Steam. Surprise, surprise. It’s picking up the sequel story from that 2020 game, DOOM Eternal. The graphics are top-notch with all that fancy ray tracing tech — which is probably why they’re saying the RTX 5090 is the top dog for maxed-out settings. Or maybe it’s just marketing, who knows?
So, picture this: you’ve got to “stand and fight” (whatever that means) for this GPU. Basically, just like the post, comment “#RTXON,” and cross your fingers. From what I gather, liking stuff is now considered “fighting.” Modern times, huh?
But hold up — NVIDIA’s been doing these themed GPU giveaways for a while. But this time, they didn’t quite have enough space to cram in all the DOOM graphics. Kind of funny if you think about it. Anyway — wait, sidetracked. So, you’ve got to like the post and comment to enter. Simple, but still feels like a lottery doesn’t it?
Heads up, though. Don’t get too excited if you’re chilling in Quebec or some parts of Australia or the Middle East. NVIDIA’s got some tricky rules about who can enter. Bit of a bummer, right?
The custom GPU? It’s the RTX 5090 Founders Edition. Normally runs around $1999, but throw in that custom wrap, and you’re looking at $2599 total. Which, considering what some other models go for, might actually be a steal. Crazy world.
Oh, and if you’re pondering when to mark your calendar, the contest opens at 6 AM PST on May 15th and wraps up at 5 PM on the 22nd. When they pick the winner, you better be on your email or DM, because you only get 48 hours to claim your treasure. No pressure, right?
