Here’s a chance for you to not only win a super-fast Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super GPU, but one clad in Half-Life 2 livery, complete with a portrait of renowned headcrab dispatcher Gordon Freeman wielding his trusty crowbar. Accompanying the recent announcement of Half-Life 2 RTX, which adds ray tracing to Valve’s classic shooter for the 20th anniversary, this competition enables you to stand a chance of winning a graphics card that looks like it could have been dug out of a computer in the Black Mesa labs.
As we found in our RTX 4080 Super review, this high-end Nvidia GPU can handle the latest games with all the eye candy enabled, including ray tracing, earning it a place on our guide to the best graphics card. It’s an ideal companion to Half-Life 2 RTX, allowing you to explore City 17 with the realistic reflections and shadows brought by the new ray tracing features.
The card itself is based on a standard RTX 4080 Super graphics card, but it features a custom wrap, showing Orbifold Studios’ new image of Gordon Freeman on the left, the classic Half-Life 2 logo in the middle, and a dirty orange fan on the right. A metallic black and gray finish completes the industrial look, with some more orange on the sides.
