The ASUS VGA Treasure Hunt
 
Following the success of our previous treasure hunt competitions Overclock3D in association with ASUS are offering our readers the chance to win a new graphics card EVERY week for the next three weeks! Starting with the EN9600GT TOP Edition this week followed by the EN9800GT MATRIX and ENGTX260 MATRIX over the coming two weeks, there really are some awesome cards up for grabs.
 
 
So, what do I have to do?
 
We've sneakily hidden the image on the right somewhere in a previous ASUS review or news article on the website. All you need to do is use your expert treasure hunting skills to track down the image and let us know where it is. Every Sunday for the next three weeks we will pick a winner from the list of people who have found the image and announce it on or forums. Then on the following Monday the whole treasure hunt will start again with a new prize and a new winning location!
 
Week 1 Winner (EN9600GT): Ghosthud1
Week 2 Winner (EN9800GT): Rastalovich
Week 3 Winner (ENGTX260): FreshNClean
 
What do I do if I find it?
 
Email the web address (URL) you found it at to our asushunt@overclock3d.net competition address. For example, if you found the picture in this review, you would need to send us an email in the following format:
 
NAME: Gingerbeard
ADDRESS: Caribbean Sea
FORUM USERNAME: ginger_beard
WINNING URL: http://www.overclock3d.net/reviews.php?/gpu_displays/asus_engtx275_896mb_pcie_graphics_card/1
 
Simple eh?

It was not that evil Jim, But it did make me resort to trying to find a program or seach engine :crazy: to look for .gifs and .png files on overclock3d. This resulted in me wasting about 8 hours looking through pictures ontop of the 10+ hours searching the normal way, just hoping i would spot the ginger fellow easier.

Alas it was futile and i would never have found that review my way, and it seems the only way it would be found is luck or skill or google.

Nice comp though but as i have a 260 already im not too fussed....

I think if no one has come forward by thursday just re draw it with everyone that entered the 2nd competition :yumyum::yumyum:

no seriously just re draw with the 18 that found it, imo

^^I am up for that, a guy who has sent no posts? I tried to PM him to congratulate him, being a good sport and then realise he/she has contributed nothing to the forum, couple with the fact that he/ she found it and alot of our regulars did not!.

either way its not my call, but I am ready for a rebuild :)

Hate to disappoint you all but I'd better put you out of your mysery now - the winner has claimed their prize.

I've given them a kick up the rear to make an appearance too ;)

Glad its all sorted Jim, however I expect he / she / they will not make an appearance. the last activity was in June, which does make me wonder how he found the image in the first place if his last activity was a couple of months ago?

Paranoid Android :P

Unlike the competitions where you had to login to the forum before you could submit your entry, this one only required an email. Hence no reason to even login :(

I hope they realise all the OC3D goodness they are missing.
