We’re giving you a chance to brush up on your gaming trivia and win exciting prizes like some of the best games, graphics cards, and 3D Vision kits!

Here’s how it will work. We’ll post a new challenge here every Wednesday. Don’t worry about checking this post every minute though- we’ll also notify you on Twitter when the newest challenge has been posted. Now-to have a shot at winning, you need to follow a couple simple rules:

    This mean that only US and Canada residents have to use NV products and participate in contests. Others have to use stuff from others manufacturers… Inel, ATI etc.

  • Ashley McBroom @NVIDIA

    No correct answers so far to this week’s HOG contest. Here’s a hint to help you: Today’s Microsoft OS is less than 89 away from the one we’re talking about. What were the first 2 games released for the one we are referencing?

  • jerry mcdoogle

    hello ashley, when does this contest end, 12:30:00 PM PST, FRIDAY MARCH 12?
    I think I made it in just in time then

  • Amanda

    this week was tough, will they post the answer when they post the winner?

  • dssd

    this week was tough because the question was vague. there is no single industry-accepted precursor to direct x.

  • praduheng@yahoo.com

    That is my question as well. The first time I posted, one of the pic links (posted 2 pic links in one tweet) was the same so I then posted another one with the correct links. Finding out later I was only partially right and now I found a very good reliable resource and posted another tweet containing a pic of 3 games. Only to find I forgot to add the hashtag #NVIDIAHog, so I now posted my last tweet with the hashtag included which was not present for the previous post. Would I still qualify?

  • DarkStalker

    NV1 was used in a card from Diamond MM which bundled Virtua Fighter and Panzer Dragoon. Think I have the card and the cds around somewhere still.
