There’s no reason to stop celebrating Doom‘s 30th anniversary yet as NVIDIA has announced a DOOM RTX 4090 giveaway. Doom turned 30 over the weekend on December 10, and NVIDIA has created a custom backplate featuring the iconic Doom Slayer jumping into action amid a horde of demons. Sadly enough there’s only one of these custom edition cards being given away as there are sure to be plenty of fans that would like to get their hands on one.
To celebrate DOOM's 30th anniversary we're giving you a chance to win a GeForce RTX 4090 + Custom DOOM backplate!

The rules are fairly simple. Go to the Doom30 and RTX500 threads on NVIDIA’s social channels and follow any instructions to comment, share, or link there. For those not aware RTX500 stands for NVIDIA also celebrating its own milestone achievement with over 500 games now supporting DLSS and RTX technologies. The sweepstakes began yesterday and all entries must be completed by December 18th. The lucky winner will be posted on NVIDIA’s website by January 31, 2024. NVIDIA has put a conservative value on the graphics card as $1,749, basically the FE MSRP, but given the current scarcity of RTX 4090 graphics cards and the return of inflated scalping prices combined with the uniqueness of this, the value for this card is likely much, much, higher. Ultimately though, most would probably agree that it sure would be nice if a fan were to win it and keep it.

Join Discussion →So generous giving away 1 card. I sure hope it doesn't hurt their bottom line.
To be fair they have been sprinkling out around 1-2 4090 cards every week via various giveaways. Drop one... wait for engagement to wane... drop another... wait for engagement to wane... add, rinse, repeat.
Too true and I was thinking about that as well but yeah, when it comes to these custom backplate models it sure would be nice if there were more than just one.
I mean, I'd take a free high end GPU, but this really just looks like a regular founders edition with a DOOM sticker.
Way to phone it in.
Yep, it's pretty much the standard practice with these kinds of things. I haven't looked but seems like there should be a site somewhere where folks can order custom backplates. Sort of reminds me of all those custom skins we've seen on gaming chairs. After a while, you can tell the same company is doing the same process for each one.
I seen some youtuber use these guys b4 https://v1tech.com/collections/backplates
Some of those are really nice. If I had my window into my case visible I'd consider one for sure.
