Okay, so I was scrolling through my feed, you know, when I stumbled upon something that kinda made me pause for a sec. NVIDIA’s giving away this RTX 5090 GPU, but it’s not just any GPU. It’s blinged out with this DOOM: The Dark Ages design. I mean, for any hardcore DOOM fans, this is like—hold on, lemme backtrack—total geek heaven, right?
I saw this blurb—oh wait, it was a tweet or maybe one of those official X posts (seriously, who decided on ‘X’ anyway?)—saying “Stand and Fight for a chance to win.” Dramatic much? But hey, they’re celebrating this game launch with ray tracing plus that killer NVIDIA DLSS 4 + Reflex thingamajig. I’m no tech guru, but it sounds fancy.
DOOM: The Dark Ages just dropped and people are already raving on Steam, as if the last one—DOOM Eternal—didn’t already blow minds back in 2020. This one’s supposedly got some crazy native ray tracing, making everything look as epic as my grandma’s storytelling. And NVIDIA’s pitching their RTX 5090 as the top dog for maxing out those graphics settings.
So, how do you get your mitts on this thing? NVIDIA’s saying all you gotta do is like the post and drop a comment with #RTXON. Piece of cake, but there’s always a catch, right? Like, some folks in Australia, Quebec, and parts of Asia—bummer—can’t even join in. Worldwide? Almost.
Apparently, this isn’t a one-time deal—NVIDIA’s been doing these flashy game-themed GPU releases for ages. But this one’s a bit unique ‘cause there’s not a lot of shroud space to flaunt the DOOM art. Curious choice, but I guess it adds to the mystique or whatever.
This custom GPU’s tagged at $1999, plus a $600 wrap, making it a whopping $2599 altogether. Not breaking banks as badly as some other RTX 5090 editions out there, but still, whew. And oh boy, don’t miss the window! Contest runs from May 15, 6:00 AM to May 22, 5:00 PM PST. NVIDIA picks a random winner—fingers crossed—and pings them via email or PM. And here’s hoping they check their inbox; 48 hours to respond or else—poof—new winner time!
Anyway, it’s wild. Who knew scrolling through my feed could lead to potential GPU adventures? Here’s crossing my fingers and toes for this one.
