So, listen up. NVIDIA’s pulling off this wild stunt — giving away a fancy RTX 5090. But, guess what? It’s all decked out in this DOOM: The Dark Ages theme. Yeah, for real. Some kind of gamer’s dream, right? This just popped up on their social media today, and I couldn’t help but think how rad this whole deal is. Or quirky, maybe? I dunno. Anyway, NVIDIA’s hyping up this mega limited edition thing to mark the crazy tech in the new DOOM game. Ray tracing, DLSS 4… If you know, you know.
Now, obviously, they gotta give it a big fanfare. This giveaway’s happening because of some wicked good reviews that the game’s scooping up on Steam. Sequel to DOOM Eternal, by the way. That one hit in 2020. And when they call something ‘The Dark Ages’ these days, you bet it’s gonna look top-notch with all those lighting effects. And this RTX 5090? Pretty much the god-tier piece of gear for anyone into maxing out game settings. I mean, who wouldn’t want every shadow and flicker of fire to look just right?
Oh, and there’s a tweet floating around. Here’s what you gotta do: like their post and drop a goofy #RTXON comment. Can’t say I’ve ever won anything like this, but someone will get lucky. Looks like NVIDIA’s been doing these themed giveaways for a while, nothing too shocking there. But, the GPU’s design space? Not huge, so I’m curious how much DOOM they can pack onto it visually. They’ll pick a winner randomly, or so they say.
Heads-up: not everyone can dive in. If you’re hanging out in certain parts of Australia, Quebec, or wherever else they’ve earmarked, sorry but you’re out. Bummer for them, right? Global contest, yet with some exceptions. Classic.
Let’s talk cash for a second. This monster’s got a price tag. The RTX 5090 Founders Edition would set you back around $1999 — yikes — plus the wrap’s another $600. Makes you think, doesn’t it? You’d expect it to be pricier though, considering some other editions are off-the-charts expensive right now.
Anyway, don’t snooze on it. The contest runs from crack of dawn on May 15th till 5 PM on May 22nd, Pacific time. Tick-tock, tick-tock. Wonder how they’ll notify the jackpot hitter… probably not via pigeon mail, but I’d check your DMs just in case. One lucky person’s got 48 hours to grab this beast before it slips away. Fun times, huh?
