Win a DirectX 11 Radeon GPU in New PowerColor Contest

There has been a series of details made available on the Internet regarding the next generation of desktop graphics cards providing users with support for the upcoming DirectX 11 API, but it finally looks like we have a confirmation that these cards are on their way. PowerColor, one of the world's leading manufacturers of graphics cards, has recently announced a new contest where participants are offered the chance to win one of the upcoming DirectX 11 cards. Although no specific details are available on the said card, it is clear that we will soon be faced with the official launch of the much-anticipated product.

PowerColor, a graphics card vendor that specializes in the development of ATI Radeon-based cards, has just launched a new contest, called 'Design and Choose the Best,' where participants and voters are provided with a chance to win one of the company's next-generation DirectX 11 cards. According to the details of the contest, three lucky participants will be able to take advantage of the performances and specifications of the next-generation AMD graphics processing unit, which, among other things, will enable support for the new DirectX 11 API.

Participants have to design their own wallpaper, screen-saver or IM chat icon and upload their creations to be voted in one of the three categories. The ones with the most votes in each category will be offered a DirectX 11 card, designed by PowerColor and based on the much-anticipated, next-generation AMD GPU. Unfortunately for those that were looking for an early insight into what these cards could deliver, the company has been tight-lipped on their technical specifications.

The winners are expected to be announced on the 5th of October, by which time AMD should officially take the wraps off the said card. In addition, the PowerColor will also award voters, who will receive one of the 20 PowerColor Go! Green HD 4670 graphics cards.
