Thumbs up Win a Sapphire Radeon HD 5870



Enter the contest at bit-tech. I tried to enter the contest but as you can see the questions are very hard.

Win a Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 Vapor-X card!
Author: Clive Webster
Published: 23rd September 2009

Bit-tech has gone competition mad for you this week! ATI has just launched the first DirectX 11-compatible GPU in the world, the Radeon HD 5870, and we've teamed up with Sapphire to offer you the chance to win one.

This isn't any old Radeon HD 5870 graphics card either, as Sapphire has fitted it with one of its excellent Vapor-X coolers, so this card will be much quieter than a normal HD 5870, and will have much lower temperatures too!

How to Enter
To win this fantastic prize all you have to do is answer the question below:

What are the main benefits of a Sapphire Vapor-X cooler?
a) It can turn into a giant man-eating robot.
b) Each cooler comes with an actual, real-life penguin.
c) It's very quiet yet very efficient at cooling a GPU.

HEXUS.net also has the contest to win the Sapphire Radeon HD5870 Vapor-X
The questions are very tricky, I think the correct answer is A.

The HD5800 series is the world's first graphics card to be fully compliant with what?

1. RoHS
2. TCP/IP
3. DX11
