NVIDIA Announces GeForce 256 GPU Giveaway as Part of Classic GPU Series Ahead of CES

Locating the original NVIDIA GPU can be a daunting challenge for enthusiasts, but there’s renewed excitement thanks to the GeForce Greats event. NVIDIA recently confirmed its plans to distribute the very first GeForce GPU through a contest aimed at loyal fans.

According to a recent post on X, a total of five ‘classic’ NVIDIA GPUs will be given away, starting with the GeForce 256. The remaining four GPUs will be unveiled daily in the coming days, showcasing some of the most celebrated models NVIDIA has ever produced, although the specific models have yet to be announced.

With just four days left until Jensen Huang’s opening keynote at CES, NVIDIA will reveal one GPU each day leading up to the event. Notably, the GeForce 256 is included in the recently announced Diablo mystery box, which also features Jensen’s signature.

Speculations suggest that the next GPUs could possibly include the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, widely regarded as one of NVIDIA’s finest launches in 2017. As a current owner of this impressive card, I can attest to its performance, but there may be even more recent GPUs featured in this giveaway.

To enter the contest for the GeForce 256, participants need to comment with #GeForceGreats on NVIDIA’s thread on X. This approach mirrors the entry method for the mystery boxes, with the added requirement that contestants share their treasured gaming memories in the comments. Winners could receive not only GPUs but also collector’s editions of landmark games and exclusive merchandise.

To ensure you stay updated on these thrilling giveaways, be sure to follow the NVIDIA GeForce account on X. Additionally, NVIDIA has announced a 48-hour gaming marathon commencing on January 4 and concluding on January 6, which leads right into their CES presentation unveiling the upcoming GeForce RTX 50 series cards.
