To our knowledge, this is the ONLY GTX 285 Ultimate in North America. The contest will be set up as follows: ASUS GTX 285 Ultimate Prize ![]() The GTX 285 Ultimate Edition prize will be open to anyone in North America who Folds for Hardware Canucks (team #54196) within the next 30 days and posts a minimum of 15,000 points over that time. This includes current members of the Folding team. ASUS GTX 260 Matrix Prize ![]() The GTX 260 Matrix Edition prize will be open to current folders (as of the day the contest starts) who have posted at least 10,000 points during the last 30 days. A list of eligible members for the GTX 260 Matrix prize can be found here (staff members will be excluded). Hardware Canucks is throwing in the following as secondary prizes:
If you meet the criteria as stated in the contest details above, we will enter you into the contest automatically.

We wanted to encourage new folders to join, but also wanted to recognize those who've contributed to our success to date. Not only do you have a decent chance at the 260, but you've also got a chance to win the 285. Good luck to all!!!!!

NICE!! Bad timing for me since I'm currently out (gtx 280 in RMA). Can't wait to receive it and fold for 3 days in a row to get 15k |

I'd also like to make note that the "current folders" list was made up this morning, and I'm pretty sure I caught everybody who meets the criteria, but if somebody feels they meet the criteria, and they don't see their name up there, drop me a PM and I'll have another look at the stats.

| Your quad should be able to cover the 15K in a week running the SMP client. :)

This will be the first of many contests for the F@H members but we wanted to get things off the ground with a bang. Expect some F@H team exclusive contests to begin over the next few months as well. Basically, there has never been a better time to start folding for us. ;) |
