I’m rather new to building computers, I’ve only been at it for about 3 years now.
But if there’s one thing I’ve learned is that always the safest bet to go with a quality brand of graphics cards and components.
I’ve been upgrading to Asus mobo, gpu and even my surf pad (nexus7).
There’s this unique feeling about the Asus logo and all its utilities, such as Gpu tweak, Ai suite.
I absolutely love the 20th anniversary card and its performance.
And it would be an honor to have this beauty in my system!

I haven’t heard announcements for this contest or the other one with Hardware Cannucks. It would be nice to hear a generic who won, like “Joe B. from Kallamazoo, ID”. Otherwise, you wonder if it’s another mis-fire like the first Hadware Cannucks give away.

Asus has always been one of my favorite brands for making such reliable and awesome looking graphics cards. This 20th Anniversary Edition is no exception. I find the color palette to be very eye catching and the ability to overclock to 1431 MHz makes it a serious powerhouse.

What I like about the golden Asus card is that it has the highest factory overclock out of every 980 that exists, I believe.
