NVIDIA gave the old-guard PC gamers a giant slap on their squared-away possibilities of winning a beast of a RIG with hardware that is yet to exist. Silly name of the giveaway, GeForce RTX PC Week, offers Maingear’s rig with what appears to be next-gen hardware with an inconceivable RTX 5090 GPU and Ryzen 9800X3D processor. Yes, you are here actually reading about specs that are not officially announced.
To go with the full specs, consider this a PC builder’s dream come true:
– The sweet RTX 5090 Founders Edition (A GPU NVIDIA hasn’t declared the existence of)
– AMD’s Ryzen 9800X3D (Also an unannounced product)
– 96GB of insane T-Force Delta DDR5 RAM
– XPG Fusion 1600W PSU just to power this concentrate of power and glory
Gamers are going crazy; more than one hundred of them have spammed the comment section with “GeForce PC Week.” Some good vibes come from an unlikely combo from HunTer of peace hands 🫡🙏🏼🤞🏼, and finally, there’s the panicked excitement of RonnyCorleone with three 🤩. The Drink-wheel was worth to spend every battle to snag this PC.
The craziest part of it all is NVIDIA having proved for creating hardware that is still probably in the development stages. RTX 5090? Well, that’ll most probably be the next flagship succeeding the soon-to-be-released 40-series refresh. And Ryzen 9800X3D? AMD is just out with their 7000 series X3D chips. This giveaway might well stand as our very first unofficial confirmation of these parts coming.
Maingear fits perfectly; they’re one of the top boutique PC builders known for insane custom rigs. But this evokes an even own question: will NVIDIA truly ship this rig with these specifications to any winner, or is this just an exercise in showing off the possibilities of future solutions? Either way, whoever wins will have what very well might be, at the time of shipping, the most powerful gaming PC on the planet.
Have you really studied the rules for the contest (hidden deep within the fine print of the linked page)? It all ties to NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX PC Week celebrations. Several giveaways and promotions are being run, but make no mistake: the party with Maingear is the show. Not a word on how many are being given away just yet, but the hysteria on Twitter has surely narrowed those odds.
Some gamers have started to put a thread to the setups offered by the prize. I think DGazoo pretty much sums up everyone else by giving his required comment-nada, not a single emoji, no fuss-just pure longing for that giant machine. Meanwhile, Phyre and ChaoBlink are just two of the hundreds spamming the entry phrase in this quickly becoming very monotonous commentary.
Things do get slightly weird with levy gros fdp, who sends a link in response to someone else’s comment. Classic Twitter.
So, all you need to do to join the madness is reply to NVIDIA’s tweet with the phrase “GeForce PC Week” before the deadline (which curiously hasn’t been specified). Then brace yourself for the ever so “original” disappointment that comes so right after you don’t win, stepping back to the ol’ pile of gee-whiz-star-in-the-eye-of-a-new-generation graphics card known as the RTX 4090.
This giveaway does beg bigger questions about NVIDIA’s roadmap: Are these toys really a tease of future products? Or is it just a hypothetical dream build? Either way, it’s got PC gaming community buzzing much louder than a watercooling pump at full RPM. The comments become essentially a wishlist plastered over with everyone’s future upgrade plans.
Meantime, the party, whoever emerges from the winner’s circle of this beast down rig, better post benchmarks ASAP. Just need to quantify what 5090 can really do before most of the rest can even think about buying in. That is should it really exist, and this isn’t just some mass trolling from Nikon’s marketing department.
Till then, it’s just about refreshing that tweet and praying to the PC gods. Perhaps if we were to sacrifice an ancient GPU to the silicon gods, we may get blessed with this beast. Or at least a coupon code for Maingear’s online space.
