Shutters Up for GeForce Garage in Poland, More Countries to Follow

Ahead of summer builds and upgrades by PC enthusiasts, NVIDIA announced an interesting new social media challenge, called the GeForce Garage. Open to residents of Poland now, NVIDIA plans to take it to several other markets very soon. The challenge is simple - build a gaming PC, make a video of yourself doing that, try to offer interesting / useful commentary while building it (eg: an interesting way to manage cables, cooling/ventilation, mods, post-build OC, benchmarks, etc.) Post it on YouTube, and share it with NVIDIA. Show the world that building a gaming PC can be as fun as cooking up something special and rewarding. It doesn't matter what hardware you use in your build, and it needn't be an extravagant build. Three of the best entries will win some cool new gear from NVIDIA, with notable mentions of participants. The winner gets an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 and a Shield Tablet; first runner up gets a GeForce GTX 970, and the second runner up gets a GeForce GTX 960. Friends from Poland, this way please.

This is the first good marketing idea I have heard from a tech company in quite some time!

Does it matter if somebody uses AMD GPUs in their build? (someone had to say it!) :D

Sure, no rule prescribes what hardware to use.

So by "sure", you mean "nope"

Well, it says "It doesn't matter what hardware you use in your build". I think someone should try with an AMD card. If Nvidia allows it, it would go a long way to fixing the PR reputation that they have gotten themselves into lately.

Nvidia didn't come up with the idea. ROG had the "pimp my rig" series in local regions before.

That is a great idea!!! I love this idea and its going to look pretty awesome on the internet and help publicity wise! Could be cool, look forward to watching (Heck I might submit one if I do a build with a Geforce card even though they say they do not care).
