Ok you splendid gamers, for the past few years I have been giving away AAA games to a whole bunch of lucky GD members and visitors. This Christmas I have decided to put on my Santa hat and take it to the next level. From now until New Years day you will all have a chance at winning a free Nvidia GTX 1060 graphics card.

So one lucky winner will be sent their very own graphics card, a GTX 1060. I havent decided on the GTX 1060 brand yet and will do some calculations at the close of the competition as to which one is the best value for money at the time to me. But regardless, the lucky winner will get their very own modern brand new GTX 1060 GPU sent from us here in the UK directly to your door. (I will talk to the winner to find out your physical address)

How do you get involved in this free game giveaway? Its the usual GD entry format stuff below. Anyone can be in with a chance of winning. And a lot of regular GD'ers will already be in with a chance, having completed entry actions last competition that carry forward to this hardware giveaway. The more actions you commit from the table below the more chances you have at winning this awesome piece of graphical gaming hardware.

A quick note - don't try to cheat the system as it logs people that have suspicious behavior and removes them from the winner selection draw, and it doesn't tell you that it's removed you.

How do I get in touch with the winner? I send an email or contact you via Twitter or Facebook or Steam or directly on GD, depending on how you enter and win. So make sure your email address is valid.

For those who just want to complete a quick entry, you can also just jump in to the competition with our Tweet button below or by installing our GD Anywhere Extension. Anyone using the extension will automatically be in with a chance of winning any of our competitions. And so you may already be in with a chance if you have that.

SOME ACTIONS ARE WORTH MORE THAN OTHERS.

BONUS ACTION CAN BE DONE EVERY DAY FOR AN EXTRA ENTRY. So you will want to revisit here as often as is practical for you.

Also anyone who is a Steam Group member of GD will also be in the draw, so please add yourself to our GD Steam group as well. Its pretty quiet over there at the moment, but at some point I will find time to get more active and at least you can quickly see who of your GD buddies are gaming and then join them for a session.

Again, to clarify, each way you enter counts as one or more entry into the competition. So entering via tweeting counts as an entry, already being a member of our steam group counts as another entry, already having installed our useful GD Anywhere Extension counts as 3 entries, being a youtube channel member is another entry, and so on. So a lot of you might not even need to bother to join our social groups because you are already in them and therefore entered into our hardware giveaway competition. But you can always fire out a new tweet to add another entry or revisit each day for our bonus entry click.

WINNER ANNOUNCEMENT: Drum roll please....

Ok, the lucky winner is....

Korran.G from Germany

Wow you lucky gamer. The specific, randomly chosen, entry that won you the free Nvidia GTX 1060 was for having a currently active version of our GD Extension. And it looks like you didnt just add the extension this time either, as it seems like you have auto entered a few of our competitions over the past half a year by having it installed. Nicely played.

I will post the GTX 1060 over to you once it arrives here at GD HQ. I think it will arrive with us by the end of this week if all goes well and then it will be with you based on the current post services between our two countries (UK to Germany). For everyone interested, the specific GTX 1060 I have chosen is the GeForce GTX 1060 MSI 6GT OC. Congratulations again Korran and please pop by and leave a msg here on GD



Ok guys, I am going to check some numbers and see if this was a successful hardware giveaway and whether or not I should run this again. Obviously I would like to hear what you think below, if you have any thoughts. By all accounts this Christmas hardware giveaway seemed great, but its hard to tell just from a quick look.
