what is going on everyone we have several announcements to make if you're at the time of the video I'm sure you know what they entail we have three giveaways to either announce the winners of or announced for the future actually we're only giving away one more graphics card if you if you weren't following me on social media Twitter Instagram Wow you really missed out so first up we gave away an RX 570 on Twitter I forget the name of the gentleman we messaged him we deemed him we're gonna mail this right after Christmas gonna be pretty hectic trying to ship this on the 24th or 25th but he is winning an RX 570 from XFX I did buy this card myself actually from Best Buy a while back it's been sitting in my closet and I figured someone else would probably make better use of it than myself so that's why I chose that car for a giveaway and then we stepped it up a notch the next card this one actually was also something I bought myself I bought it on eBay so this is a used card already but it was a gtx 1080 super clock from EVGA not the newest edition of the gtx 1080 but it is pretty sweet especially for me now if you buy these yous are like three 350 bucks or so actually this one I got for about three hundred dollars I bought three or four of them and people were like why are you buying so many graphics cards don't you already have enough of them well if you were just a little more patient you would have understood that I plan on giving away at least some of these and then the last giveaway that this one by the way was for Instagram we're gonna announce the winner of this one on on camera right now I'm gonna do the random pic I'll show you how I do that and then the last card we're gonna give away in this video for youtube so we did twitter first then Instagram and now we're gonna do YouTube is a r-tx 20 almost at GTX 20 RTX 20 80 from gigabyte I'm pretty sure gigabyte had no idea was gonna give this card away after testing it but this is the card we actually kind of tore down and then replaced with liquid metal compound I'm gonna ask whoever wins this if they want just stock thermal paste back on the GPU I totally get that do you want to play it safe it's just an experiment we did with that card and again that one's been sitting in the closet ever since so I figured we'd step it up each time rx5 71st and a GTX 1080 then our TX 2080 for the YouTube giveaway we're gonna talk about how to enter in a second but first I want to do the Instagram giveaway cuz I know you guys are anxious especially those of you who already liked the picture I am going to now count all of those I kind of messed up here because in order for me to actually use like a random picker you know a random name generator for Instagram I have to have you comment so only those people who comment would enter if I used any of that software that's not fair to those who just like the picture like I asked so what I'm gonna have to do I really have no choice here we have on this picture here thirty-six hundred and eighteen likes as of right now so all of those people are gonna be entered and I have to now open a random number generator and list the maximum number is thirty six hundred eighteen and then physically count however far down that is I'm just gonna open up the number of people who liked huh I know you can't really see it from there but I'm gonna click on this then you can see names of everyone who like this photo again over three thousand of you I'm glad all you entered I appreciate that and I'm gonna have to count down however many names are here depending on the number that's generated by the app so I have a number generator app here and we have 36 18 so I'm gonna do it right here for you guys to see from 1 to 36 18 now I'm a little biased toward the lower numbers because that means I have to count less physically it's gonna take probably over an hour to count through 3000 names if it happens to be somewhere in the 3000 range so I'm kind of hoping it's higher up but again totally random here so this is how we have to do it it's my fault here we go 692 okay so whoever was the 690 second like on the picture you are going to be the winner of hey super clock GT X 1080 from EVGA so yeah I guess I should start counting now don't worry I won't have to watch this part 2,000 years later and a number 692 is Josh the boss double-oh-seven his name is joshua ortega and so i'm gonna go ahead and follow him back died okay he has to accept my request I'll wait patiently anyway 600 was actually pretty easy to count too because I knew how many names were on screen so I was just counting and basically groups of 9 all the way down I'm not sure where josh josh ortega it lives but he will receive a message from me very soon hopefully soon if he accepts my request soon and then we can get the GTX 1080 out to him hopefully right after Christmas again if he's in a place where I can't send him the card what I always try to do is ship the value of the card in cash via PayPal or some other like safe way to transact money so if we end up not being able to send the card he lives in like Afghanistan and I'm picking a country can be very difficult to ship to then I will just send him this card I would send him like three hundred fifty bucks cash and then he could spend it however he wants he could go out and buy a card like this although I'm sure it's probably more expensive in this country it's just that it's the best I can do because if I ship it to a country like that this card might cost 500 bucks u.s. to actually ship when the actual value of the card is only 300 or so I think that's just that doesn't make any sense for anybody especially myself because all this is coming out of pocket so hopefully he lives a little closer than that but again you're gonna win something pretty substantial either way we have the last card here to give away this is in RTX 2080 it's the Beast again I can swap the the liquid metal for typical thermal compound if you want whoever wins this card now all you have to do to enter to win this is comment down below and make sure you're subscribed the subscription is not something that is mandatory for the giveaway itself but it's just a way of me kind of getting something out of that you could totally unsubscribe after the giveaway if this is all you're doing it for it I can't really control that but it does give me a small bump and I do appreciate all of you entering even if you're not winning these I just I would I don't want you guys to feel too upset I mean the odds are pretty low but I think the way that we're doing this is still giving you better odds overall because if I open this up to gleam and then I shared this across all my social media outlets at the same time then we're gonna have many more entrants especially if we were pairing up with like other tech tubers with different audiences so when we did Twitter we only had I think two or so thousand retweets I may be totally wrong but it was only you know low thousands and that's considerably lower for a graphics card than most graphics card giveaways of channels my size are bigger and then same thing with Instagram only about 3600 or so that's still pretty low so the odds are higher then they would be normally if we did some big you know group tub giveaway of graphics cards with other people so hopefully at least you can appreciate that aspect of it but somebody I can guarantee is either gonna walk away with r-tx 2080 or whatever this is in cash I would say fair value this is uh 700 750 it probably sells for closer to 800 bucks but I did see today one r-tx 2080 from EVGA selling for $6.99 which is really good price so I might just give away 700 u.s. dollars if I can't get this card to you physically but whoever wins is gonna win either the 700 bucks or this car depending on the shipping hassle involved so again all you got to do comment down below that's your entry subscribe I'm gonna verify your subscription that's the one thing I'm going to do and we do have common generators basically a generator that will pick a random comment in a video I did verify that beforehand so we don't have to do the physical counting again and that's all you have to do to enter if you're under the age of 18 I'll have a parent or guardian represent you in the process that will keep things in check from a legal standpoint and we'll be good to go now I hope you guys have a Merry Christmas this is my way of kind of giving back to the community last minute again more giveaways coming soon I've been buying tons of graphics cards and I expect I'll be giving a lot of them away very soon especially after we do our builds with them and our benchmarks with them they kind of just sit in a closet and I'd rather these go to people who will actually use someone a daily basis so I think that's the least I could do for all of you give you guys a chance to win one of these great cards again Congrats to our Twitter winner as well as the Instagram giveaway winner and best of luck when it comes to the r-tx 2080 I think you'll enjoy this card it's a phenomenal card around gtx 980ti territory which was the best card until touring through lease so you're gonna be set I can pretty much guarantee that assuming you don't have a very old CPU but maybe we'll do some CPU and motherboard giveaways in the future I have plenty of those laying around as well I appreciate it thank you guys for entering and for supporting the channel this far if you guys like the video thumbs up you know what to do subscribe especially if you're gonna enter I encourage you to subscribe if you haven't already comment down below that's your official entry and I will catch you in the next video no live stream tonight if you're watching this on Sunday night Central Standard Time we will be back more than likely next weekend for another after-hours livestream this is science studio thanks for entering giveaways with us by the way one more thing I know that you guys don't like Glee my feeling is on the phone so I'm actually in the process of editing the video and I realized that I didn't talk about this and this was something I wanted to bring up earlier we're not using gleam for this giveaway or for either of the two previous giveaways I talked about this in a previous video but I'm I'm still trying to figure out how I want to do giveaways in the future but the way we did these we just had you guys either like or retweet a photo or a post and that was your way of entering and you also had to follow me so that I could DM you without any issues there so I didn't have trouble contacting you and I get a little something out of a - right I get a follow out of it so you guys have a chance to win a giveaway worst case you don't win any unsubscribe right that's or whatever you unfollow that tends to be how people will handle those kinds of giveaways now but anyway I want to know what you guys think I want your feedback those who watched all the way through the video I cherish your opinions and most because you guys are diehard fans and I appreciate that so going forward if you like this style format then we will keep this in the future we'll do giveaways in this way I might have no it's just a giveaway exclusively on Twitter or on Instagram but that will be how you enter we're not gonna use gleam unless we're working with some company that requires us to use gleam because I know you guys really don't like that and we're gonna try our best even when working with these companies to avoid that website because there have been many problems especially recently with some larger giveaways that and you know if you have issues you can't enter it's not really your fault it's a gleams fault but at the same time there's nothing we can do about it because it is an our platform so again let me know down below also if you comment you're gonna enter the giveaway automatically for the 2080 so I guess it's a win-win there I appreciate your feedback and I'll catch you in the next video I was filming someone picks all three by the way how does the audio sound I heard it's pretty trash
