For a sudden jaw-dropping announcement, the gaming world is going into a frenzy: The #GeForceSummer Prize Drop is giving away a GeForce RTX 5090, leaving the gaming crowd in a frenzy grabbing for one. But the twist is that the winners get to facilitate the upgrade of a friend as well. Yes, you read that right. The next-gen graphics cards are there, waiting for their owners, and the comments section is crazy.
So here’s the deal – NVIDIA tweeted the announcement with a simple direction: Tag a friend, explain to them why they ought to be upgraded, and then share the #GeForceSummer in the comments. The replies vary from heartrending stories to humorous justifications, desperate ones even—I mean, somebody said his friend left Roblox running for 56 hours straight, and now the GPU is on lifeline. I mean, seriously?
Others tagged their friends who are still using GTX 10-series cards, just like it’s 2016; or some content creators that review games for free just because they like the scene. One other guy tagged his wife; either that’s adorable or a very clever strategy of what’s to come for them both in joint custody.
The absolute gems were the one tagging a buddy because “he’s better at games than me.” One hundred percent factual. Meanwhile, others are trying to make business cases—another’s working hybrid company on 2014 hardware. Talk about yikes.
And there are international replies to consider: some in Portuguese, shouting out to a buddy who doesn’t even have a PC yet, while others mentioned a 3D artist working on cultural projects who needs all the GPU power on the planet. The struggle is real, all around the world.
Now, let’s pick the classic “Please help me” comment without any sort of elaboration. Yasss, genre.
So far, NVIDIA hasn’t put a number on just how many winners they’ll be picking, or even when, but with a hype like this, you’d assume the competition is fierce. The RTX 5090 isn’t even officially announced, folks; winning this is like securing your golden ticket into the future of gaming.
So basically: If you got someone still holding onto a potato PC, and you want to make your neighborhood friends feel bitter, this is your time. But don’t come crying to us when your Twitter notifications start bursting with random people tagging you as their “bestie.”
I tell you, the internet never dies.
