Calm down lads - there's no conspiracy here. All prize entries went into one pool the winner was chosen at random. There is no direct cross-referencing of entries with forum member names at the time of the draw, so there was no way to know whether the winner had one post or 1,000 posts.

I'm sure if I went back through the archives, I would find plenty of past competitions won by regulars. At the end of the day, you have to be in it to win it and everyone has an equal chance of winning.

Keep trying and better luck next time.

that's pretty much it isn't it :)

how often does anyone win any competitions

also, the competition was for bit tech readers, and not forum users, people may read the bit tech stuff, but never post, there's nothing wrong with doing that

To be fair i'm sure any competition on bit-tech is drawn fairly and without bias. I'm one of the lucky ones who have won a prize but when I did so the competition in question required a certain number of forum posts iirc. I didn't have many posts over that number but still got drawn, as did people for the other prizes with far more posts than i had!

Hey, I am a hard working man who just got lucky.

Sorry you all feel p____d off by not winning and I just joined the forum, but I am afraid thats just life.

congrats nigel, enjoy your lovely new card when you get it dude

Yep, congrats! The 7900GTX card is a stonker of a gfx card. Be very wary if you try overclocking it though as the one or more of the voltage regulator chips on the card itself are prone to overheating and feeding weird voltages to the core/memory whereupon you start to have problems like flickering desktop/3d artifacts/etc. There's threads about it in various places on the net if you want to read up on it.

Welcome to the forums btw ;)

That's pretty tight. I would love to win a 7900gtx. Now just don't do anything stupid with it like the infamous "6800 love juice".

Nice one on the win, wouldn't have been much use to me i'm still in the dark ages of AGP :D ....whats this about '6800 love juice'?
kenco_uk 26th July 2006, 12:52 Quote
Someone got a bit over-excited and quite literally spuzzed over their new 6800.
