    Participate in the upcoming NVIDIA GTC 2025 for a chance to win an NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada Generation graphics card, delivering ultimate AI and graphics performance. This is a limited edition card, signed by Jensen Huang!

    GTC is coming back to San Jose on March 17–21, 2025. From the must-see keynote by NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang to over 1000 inspiring sessions, 300+ exhibits, technical hands-on training, and tons of unique networking events, GTC is the place to explore real-world examples of AI and its benefits.
    You are now invited to join thousands of developers, innovators, and business leaders virtually to experience how AI and accelerated computing are helping humanity solve its most complex challenges.

    How to enter (Terms and Conditions):

    1. The participants MUST create a new account for NVIDIA GTC using THIS LINK and complete the registration for a free virtual conference pass. Click the 'Register Now' button at the top, complete your account profile, and select 'Virtual' to register for a $0.00 Conference Pass for GTC Virtual Attendance. Virtual attendance is free and includes limited livestreamed sessions from the San Jose Convention Center, as well as on-demand access to all recorded content within 72 hours after the live events. Anyone who completes GTC registration will see the Thank You page and receive a confirmation email with a $0.00 invoice attached.
    2. The participants MUST join and watch any NVIDIA GTC session, live or on-demand, between March 17–21, 2025 inclusive, and post a screenshot from that session into the entries thread.
    3. The event is only open to residents of Australia, residing in NSW, VIC, QLD or TAS, 18 years & older, who are members of OCAU Forums. Unfortunately, residents of WA, SA, NT and ACT are not eligible due to competition restrictions in those areas. Final eligibility for the award is subject to verification by OCAU.
    4. The prize is a single NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada Generation Graphics Card, which will be won by an OCAU member. This is a limited edition card, signed by Jensen Huang.
    5. Postage costs within Australia will be paid by OCAU.
    6. Only one entry per member - duplicate posts in the entries thread will invalidate all your entries.
    7. You don't need to pay to enter - there are free GTC sessions.
    8. The prize comes with a 12-month replacement warranty. The replacement card will not be a signed limited edition card, but will be a similar spec card from a partner manufacturer.
    9. The winner will be announced on March 25th 2025 in this thread and to the registered forum email of the winner.
    10. The winner will be randomly drawn from all valid entries in the entries thread, using Google's online random number generator.
    11. The winner must reply claiming their prize within 7 days of the draw or another winner will be selected.
    12. Watching live or on-demand is fine, but entry has to be posted to the entries thread during March 17–21 2025 inclusive (timestamped in an Australian timezone).
    13. When you use the NVIDIA GTC website, your data is stored and used as per their privacy policy.
    14. OCAU is not going to do anything with your data related to this competition, apart from as needed to administer the competition, or as part of your normal usage of the forums.
    15. The promoter and administrator of this contest is Overclockers Australia (OCAU), ABN 89 624 522 634.
    16. OCAU reserves the right to modify any of the terms and conditions as required.

    This thread is for discussion of the contest, so multiple replies in this thread are OK and won't invalidate your entries. But make sure you only post once in the entries thread.

    Best part is that a bunch of people have already excluded themselves by posting in the entries thread without a screenshot.

    Weird. There was a contest thread that had posts in it yesterday. Might have been a different thread or got cleaned up?

    EDIT: Ah no. It was the news post thread.

    "who are members of OCAU Forums" any date related restrictions on this Agg to reduce an influx of new "spam" accounts? Or is there a hope it might drive up some numbers and get some fresh blood in the place? haha

    Same questions asked last year.
    No restrictions back then
    IIRC there was about 3-400 entries last year....freaking awesome odds if you ask me

    If we did have restrictions I'd say make it for those that joined before 28/6/2001 ..
