Very thoughtful and selfless of you to do this. My sister's kids could certainly use another PC, and any contribution would be much appreciated.
 
I feel especially special.......

That's awesome. I can't be more thankful. I'm usually unlucky when it comes to drawings but please count me in! It feels nice to participate. And thanks again.
 
I generally don't post much in most forums I frequent - I tend to read things more than comment so don't mind my low post count (I've one forum I've been part of for over 12 years and I just broke 4K posts and that is the forum that I post the most in). I'll keep reading posts and if it becomes absolutely necessary, I'll make comments.

Count me in - working on piecing together a build for the kids to have a computer to use. Down to needing a case, HDD/SSD, GPU and OS.
 
Ahhh, it really feels like the holidays to me when I get a chance to enter a giveaway contest and lose. Eggnog, turkey, carols, candy canes and crushing disappointment. Fa la la la la, la la la la!

Count me in please and thanks for doing this.
 
If I would win that glorious gpu (compared to my 8800gts), it would finally push me over the edge to replace entire system.😀 Merry Christmas.

Thank you, but which card are are you using for your comparison here? I know the 6950 was faster than the 77xx cards.

Thank you!

I was using the 6950 being slightly slower than 7850, and rx 460 being roughly between 270-270x, while slightly modifying it in favor of the 460 and its newer architecture (since newer games run marginally better on newer hardware)... Wasn't able to find anything more substantial to base it on given the generation gap between them.

Therefore, tldr: I was pulling numbers out of my butt.

A many thanks to the OP for your generous offers. I don't need anything but hopeful this will help someone have a better Christmas.
 
I don't need the cards so I'll defer if I win to someone who needs them more. But I'm a sucker for free contests so if you do add any other cool knick knacks or random giveaways, count me in!
 
Man, that video card would be nice. I've been occasionally getting green screens from my 7970; I think it might be giving up the ghost. Count me in 🙂
 
A discrete h.265 capable GPU like these would be the perfect final touch in my HTPC, which is using the iGPU only.

Please count me in... Thank you!
 
Please put me on the list. My folding farm can always use more power. I was the highest contributor to the F@H holiday race that Anandtech just won.
 
Wow. I'll gladly take an RX460 (or 470) if I win. (Please consider this my entry)

I'm currently running an old HD 4770 in my main rig.

I'm trying to have some self restraint - waiting to finish paying off my car before I throw any money at my personal (vs work) computer. At this point I'm probably ready to rebuild nearly the whole thing. Even if I paid off my car tomorrow I'd want to see how Zen and Vega affect the market before I pull the trigger on any new parts.
