Update, June 8th @ 8:15pm: Just to clarify, this giveaway is not affiliated with PC Perspective. We just found it on Twitter and thought that our readers might like to have a chance at free hardware.

Fairly simple bit of news for this one. NVIDIA has announced that they will be giving away $100,000 of prizes to people who message @NVIDIA and use the #GameReady hashtag, on either Twitter or Instagram, during one of five E3 keynotes.

Sunday (June 12th, 2016):

  • EA at 1PM PDT / 4PM EDT / 8PM GMT
  • Bethesda at 7PM PDT / 10PM EDT / 2AM GMT (Monday)

Monday (June 13th, 2016):

  • Microsoft at 9:30AM PDT / 12:30PM EDT / 4:30PM GMT
  • PC Gaming Show at 12PM PDT / 3PM EDT / 7PM GMT
  • Ubisoft at 1PM PDT / 4PM EDT / 8PM GMT

Interestingly, Sony was not listed on their rundown. Sure, they rarely have anything relevant to PC gamers, but it's still an amusing omission none-the-less.

According to their Terms and Conditions, the sweepstakes is open to a large portion of the world. They will be giving away fifty GTX 1080s, “up to” thirty $500 Steam Gift Cards, and “an ultimate PC battlestation”??? I'm not sure what that is, but it sounds like Mark Hamill will be trying to destroy it a few times.

E3 starts this weekend! Stay tuned for coverage. (You can also sleep, eat, and do laundry, though.)
