Nvidia is giving away a Resident Evil Requiem-themed RTX 5090 graphics card

Nvidia has opened a limited-time sweepstakes to celebrate the launch of Resident Evil Requiem, the ninth mainline installment in the legendary survival horror franchise. The prize is a one-of-a-kind GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition featuring a custom wrap inspired by the game's dual protagonists, Grace Ashcroft and Leon S. Kennedy.

The giveaway runs from February 27th to March 2nd and is conducted through the Nvidia UK X account, where entrants must comment with their Resident Evil memory for a chance to win. Details on the giveaway can be found in the Sweepstakes' T&Cs.

 

While Nvidia lists the prize's estimated value at $1,999 for the card plus a $600 custom wrap, current market trends suggest the hardware is worth significantly more. Due to a global memory shortage and surging demand for AI-capable hardware, retail prices for the RTX 5090 have increased since its launch, with the cheapest custom models going for close to £3000. The sweepstakes is a “no-purchase-necessary” event, though eligibility is restricted to specific regions.

The game itself has just been released to critical acclaim, currently with an 88 OpenCritic score. The title leverages the full power of the GeForce RTX 50 Series with PC-exclusive features like Path Tracing and DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation. For those not lucky enough to win the custom GPU, Nvidia is running a concurrent hardware bundle where purchasers of a new RTX 5090, 5080, or 5070-series card (laptop GPUs included) will receive a digital copy of the game through March 16th.

KitGuru says: This sweepstakes arrives at a time when the RTX 5090 has become more of a mythical artefact than a consumer product for many gamers. With street prices currently sitting way above MSRP, winning a Founders Edition, let alone one with a custom Resident Evil aesthetic, is essentially like winning the lottery.
