Nvidia is giving away an RTX 3080 Ti to gamers. The graphics card features a Matrix design and looks really good overall.
Graphics cards are currently either hard to get or very expensive. As a result, many gamers seize every opportunity to acquire a powerful graphics card. Nvidia has now started a very special raffle featuring a graphics card.
The graphics card looks really good and is likely to appeal to many users, but for German users, there is a big catch regarding this promotion.
Graphics card in Matrix design is a special promotion for the movie premiere
What kind of promotion is this? Officially, the latest Matrix movie will be released in theaters in China on January 14. For this reason, Nvidia has devised a special promotion and presented a unique graphics card. According to the official blog post, the raffle will run until January 21, after which the winner will be determined.
What is the catch? The promotion with the special Nvidia graphics card is only running in China. This means that German users with a German address cannot participate in the raffle. If you haven’t received a graphics card yet, this contest does not provide you with an opportunity to acquire a graphics card for little money.
This GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Gaming graphics card with green code rain theme is a tribute to the classic sci-fi film. Equipped with NVIDIA’s second-generation RTX architecture, it delivers a truly “immersive” realistic experience in the virtual 3D world. Thousands of fans and gamers, please make your “choice”! We celebrate the @Warner Bros. film #The Matrix: The Matrix Reboot#, which is being released nationwide today! This is the only limited edition in China. If you forward this Weibo and prove your dual status as a Matrix fan and GeForce hardcore gamer in one sentence, you have a chance to win this graphics card! Raffle on January 21

What kind of graphics card is this? The graphics card in question is the RTX 3080 Ti. The official MSRP from Nvidia is 1,199 euros, but you can get the card for 2000 euros or more in retail. This is the official Founder’s Edition of the RTX 3080 Ti featuring a special Matrix design.
The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is among the fastest graphics cards that Nvidia has to offer. In independent tests, the RTX 3080 Ti is only 2 percent behind the RTX 3090, but significantly ahead of the RTX 3080 without Ti by 11 percent. Especially the high MSRP of 1,199 euros has been criticized by testers, regardless of the fact that you get a really fast graphics card for the money. For whom the graphics card is worth it and who should really spend that much money, you can read in the following article:
This is not the first graphics card that Nvidia has exclusively given away in China
Has there been such a promotion before? In 2020, Nvidia held such a giveaway. Here, CD Projekt Red presented an RTX 3080 in Cyberpunk style together with Nvidia. Nvidia also opted for a unique design with the Matrix card, which was very well received by many users.
However, this promotion was also only for Chinese users. With a German address, you could not participate in the raffle. The promotion was definitely well received in China. In the end, over 1 million participants registered for at least a small chance to win the unique Nvidia graphics card.
