So back on December 1st I entered a simple facebook competition, all i had to do was say when I got my current GPU it was a short brief comment. I was teasing my mum that was round that day in lots of ways talking about how she should buy me a GPU for christmas just jokingly i tease her a lot at times. I wasn't expecting to win not even remotely even said to her i've got no chance thousands will enter, I got a few giggles out of her that day it was a fun time with my mum we always watch a film on fridays she is my ROCK in life.
So the following day I'm woken up not sure why or by what thought it was the postman goto check nope, go back to bed check phone then figure I'll watch twitch and then i saw a notification on the tablet it says I've WON almost have a heart attack or something in shock get to the PC check properly reply back almost in tears, send details and that was how I started that day on the 2nd, for days i did not think it was a reality it really did take some sinking in, i'm not a well off person no major income it takes time for me to save for items like these.
A week passes by not heard anything, still excited wondering but don't want to pester send a simple message, then the following day get tracking information, it's taken the last 3 days for it to get out of hong kong and to me.
Here is what I didn't expect, I could have won a 5700XT but i didn't I won the 6800 amazing to me to get a card i really really want, i've been vocal on here over the launches and tbh i don't really deserve this tbh.
So today i stay'd up in case it would come saturday, totally expecting it monday, huge box like all padded and foam'd, delievery guy is like it's weird no duty to be paid mate I was expecting to pay something but he said it's strange but nothing to pay on that, so i was already amazed to not only get the card but not having to pay 22% of the cost or something.
I open the box take out the foam and bam real stunned what was inside!!!!
They didn't send me the 6800 no they sent me the 6800XT not only that but the SE version! :O
Yea i am real suprised like idk how to thank sapphire for their generosity it's a rare thing to upgrade someone when the prize was already mindblowing, so somehow i need to find a way to thank them in a good way not sure how just yet but i'll figure it out someway.
It's a crazy world, but the thing i've not always realised is it works both ways good and bad, real shocked atm merry christmas people, do enjoy the banter and conversations and builds on here.
I'm too tired to install it this instant but man i've been so vocal about this GPU over the last few months and to actually have a card that will last me years is a pure gift <3
