Is there any downside?
What I´ve understand, you place the order and pay the money, you receive a GeforceFX board when it`s released, but you haven`t to go to London and attend the conference?

Or am I wrong?

 

[demonic]

Whats the deal? do I have to be a developer to sign up?

Whats the requirements for getting my GFFX @ £125...

/me is really interested as I live in London, and work in Central London

Looks like you have to sign up for the event and then you recieve a free FX. There must be a catch...

I guess it's aimed at developers but if you turn up scruffy and mumble stuff about minimising overdraw you could fool 'em

When you register they basically call you back to make sure you are gen-u-ine.

Read the agenda - the GFFX handout is only at the end of the two day session, so they do at least want you to have attended.

 

[BoardBonobo]

Just turn up with a Cg r0x0rz t-shirt on and they probably just hand you one there and then

 

[antlers]

I wonder if you'll have to sign an NDA to get your board, or if the reviewing NDA will expire by then.

 

[Fuz]

Atleast we know the FX boards will be ready to roll by the 12th of Feb.
I have to say I really like the name of the event, Nvision.

bloody hell - I'm on gardening leave between jobs that week and I live in London (and I know where the MoS is ) - Dave - can I go as B3D rep? I'll be able to spend time at home examining it to its full.

ps

only half joking!

All you have to do is pay the 125 and go to the event. It doesn't look like you have to have any sort of affiliation.

true - I just need to sell 2 days at an IT confernce to the wife when she expected me home actually 'gardening'

I think it's also possible that they'll hand you a coupon that is good for one GeforceFX when they become available...

 

[=W=]

Wow. Any chance I could get one of you guys goin' to send me one here in the states?

 

[pocketmoon_]

of course it will be fully booked now by 200 ex-Rage developers

And Feb 13th will see 200 GeforceFX's turn up on ebay

Yes - as IMHO they're indicating it smooooothly :
Free GeForce FX board per order - Each order will qualify for an NVIDIA GeForce FX board (note, an Economy Twin counts as only 1 order).

Note: They do not say working board.

 

[DemoCoder]

This is not really amazing. I got a absolutely free ($0) R300 PRO from ATI for attending one of their events.

 

[Randell]

Thtas what I thought Democoder. I expect it will be a board there and then otherwise the goodwill to developers is lost.

 

[MuFu]

It doesn't say anywhere that the free card is a 5800 Ultra. I wouldn't be suprised if it's the GeForceFX 5400 Buttmuncher.

MuFu.
