Win A Sapphire R9 285 Mini ITX Graphics Card By Showing Us What You Do On Your AMD Tea Break

[LtMatt]

Seeing as this thread is still going - quick update - R9 285 still going very nicely in my little Hadron and continues to surprise me. Hooked him up to my main PC's 4 screens just to see if he could (he could, easily) and tried out a quick bench (Just Cause 2 at 5760x1080, max settings except AA at x2, 40-50FPS in the built-in benchmarks).

Absolutely amazed at how quiet and powerful this little card is.

Great to hear, thanks Stu.

 

[LtMatt]

To all those still awaiting a delivery, should be with you by the end of this week.

Thanks Matt!

Thanks Matt, appreciate it!

A further update on this folks.

We're waiting for some better bubble wrap to be delivered before we dispatch anymore mugs. Obviously with the problems we had with the first lot, we can't take any chances. Delivery should be before the end of next week. Sorry for the short delay, but we don't have enough mugs to replace everyones again so don't want to take any chances with a rough courier.

 

[LtMatt]

Maaaaaat.... my mug won't overclock. Am I doing something wrong?

Awesome.

Awesome, simply awesome!

If it's any easier for you Matt, I'd be happy for you to pad mine out with a couple of 295x2s?

Hah, If i did that it could be coming out of my pay cheque!

 

[LtMatt]

Still no sign of my replacement mug. Was i sent one, Matt?

The final lot went out yesterday, so should be today/tomorrow.

 

[LtMatt]

Nor my replacement should I expect it in yesterdays deliverys?

Thanks AMDMatt

Nope, should be as above.

My replacement mug has arrived safe and sound!

Now to get the kettle on.

Thank you very much Matt, I am very grateful!

I look forward to my finest evening cup of tea yet tonight. Thanks Matt!

Cheers lads.

 

[LtMatt]

YAY thanks AMDMatt i am now a proud owner of a fully intact AMD mug LOL.

Thank you

Glad it got there in one piece Dave.

 

[LtMatt]

Also got mine yesterday and it's not broken! Thanks again Matt. Appreciate the effort you put in to get these replaced.

No problem at all.

Still no delivery

If it's not arrived by Wednesday I'll chase it up.

Mine arrived yesterday safe and sound, not broken.

Cheers for sorting it out Matt.

Glad to hear it.

 

[LtMatt]

Still no delivery

Please post back if nothing has arrived by 4pm and i will arrange for another to be sent out.

 

[LtMatt]

Sorry didn't see the post Matt. Still no arrival for me I'm afraid.

Likewise nothing arrived here.

Ok gents, what were both of your surnames please and I'll chase it up.

 

[LtMatt]

Watson

Did you send me a message on Twitter? I can't seem to find you. I can't trust message you either as it's not set up. Post your twitter handle and ill drop you another DM.

I don't have any DM's from you bud, but send me one.

I tried to add you myself, but there are too many people with your name so I've no idea which one is you.

 

[LtMatt]

Well my cup of tea this evening was greatly improved thanks to my new AMD mug!

Cheers Matt!

Glad to hear it mate.

 

[LtMatt]

Duly noted Stu.

Did i send you a mug as well?

 

[LtMatt]

No mate, better, you sent me an excellent GPU.

I'll see if we can get you a mug sent out as well.

 

[LtMatt]

LOL - I think I can safely say you've already been generous enough to me in this thread, Matt!

You should have an AMD mug on its way to you, Stu.

 

[LtMatt]

Excellent - thank you!

Now I just need to lay my hands on another Nvidia card to set fire to in order to heat up my tea. Sure I've got a GT440 somewhere that deserves to die....

Got home from holiday today, and there was an AMD mug of awesomeness waiting for me.

Thanks, Matt.

Pleasure gents.

 

[LtMatt]

Yep this competition is all over and all the AMD mugs have been handed out. The last one went to ConfusedStu i believe.

 

[LtMatt]

Never actually received it mate, for the record (seemed churlish to mention it seeing as you'd already been so generous to me in this thread, but didn't want you to think I was being ungrateful in not mentioning my thanks upon receipt).

On the positive side though, 285 still performing brilliantly, and amazingly quietly for the power it has and the size case it's in.

Thanks for letting me know Stu I'll chase it up, but we may have run out now.

 

[LtMatt]

I'll chase it up anyway, as we definitely dispatched one to you. I know we've run out though now, so can't promise a replacement.
