Alright, so here’s the thing. DOOM: The Dark Ages has finally graced our screens, and I swear, the anticipation has been wild. I mean, who knew we’d be battling demons in some medieval saga, right? Anyway, it’s a total blast and folks, old and new, are diving headfirst into this chaos. The reviews? They’re shining like a new penny on Metacritic. Seems everyone’s ready to rip and tear until we’re all out of juice or whatever.
So, here’s a twist. If you’re not gaming on a console like Xbox Series X|S or PS5, or you don’t have some kind of fancy handheld, yeah, you’re gonna need a proper Windows PC. Not just any PC, mind you, one that can handle the madness. Could be you’re thinking of upgrading or building your own monster of a rig, and dude, I get it. But there’s also this sneaky chance to win some epic gaming hardware. We’re talking stuff that not only meets the requirements but looks wicked cool with DOOM designs and all that RGB flair. How? Giveaways, bro.
NVIDIA spilled the beans earlier this week about these giveaways. They’re flexing their latest features like DLSS 4 and NVIDIA Reflex for The Dark Ages, and we tested it out. Blown away, honestly. And if you poked around their blog, they’re shouting out some custom PCs, laptops, GPUs, the whole shebang — all supercharged with their RTX 50-series graphics.
Now, don’t wander off just yet. They’ve got six different goodies up for grabs — four PCs, one flashy laptop, and a graphics card. Different specs for each rig, but hey, they’ve all got NVIDIA’s RTX 5080, which is as good as gold for any gamer stuck with an older GPU. Entering these giveaways seems mostly hassle-free — think email addresses, maybe following a social channel or two. Oh, but watch those regional quirks; certain prizes are US-only, or France-only. That fancy laptop from MSI? Lucky us, it’s global.
And crazy as it is, these sweet rigs all sport themes from DOOM: The Dark Ages. My top pick? It’s gotta be the Cybertek one — too bad it’s French-exclusive, and you kinda need to buy some ASUS product to even enter. But whatever, I’m trying my luck with the US giveaways anyhow. Hope springs eternal, doesn’t it?
Worst case, you don’t win. But, you can snag a DOOM skin from the NVIDIA app and look the part in the game. Oh, and speaking of which, the game itself costs $69.99 brand new. But there’s a subtle discount at CDKeys, if you’re into that sorta detective work. Plus, it’s on Xbox Game Pass if you’re subscribed.
Anyway, fingers crossed for that giveaway magic. Let’s see what rolls in.
