MSI Launches AMD-Based Online Competition
Here's your chance to win premium-level MSI motherboards and graphics cards!
Wednesday MSI announced the AMD "Eyes On The Prize" Target Challenge, an online competition using a score challenge format starting February 14 and ending March 13, 2011, specifically for AMD consumers.
As the title states, those using AMD-based graphics cards are challenged to be the first in reaching a specific target score within the timeframe of the contest's four unique, week-long stages. Initially the contest will be open only to consumers using MSI-based AMD graphics cards for the first three weeks/stages. MSI will then open the doors to all AMD graphics cards owners (no matter the brand) in the fourth and final week/stage.
According to the company, winners will away with a set of premium-level MSI motherboards and graphics cards. Contestants who didn't win any of the four stages-- but still reached the target in any of the four stages--will automatically be qualified for the lucky draw for the flagship MSI AMD Radeon 6970 Lightning graphics card.
"Additionally, to express our gratitude for your participation, each week MSI is giving away 5 serial numbers of DirectX 11-supported 3DMark 11 performance benchmarking software," the company said. "All you need to do to win one of the 20 serial numbers is submit a score to any of the stages."

So rather than going for a high score, you aim for a very specific mediocre score? I like the concept, makes it available to a wider range of people but it looks like a lot of hassle. No good for those of us with jobs and partners!
