I'm really liking some of these. Who is judging? I assume maybe W1zz, a few mods from TPU, and some of the HIS higher-ups?

Wow
An excellent job by everyone who submitted artwork. Just an amazing amount of creatiivity by everyone.

I am glad I am not one of the judges. Would be very difficult to decide.

Some very cool designs here. It's a shame the stock cooler is just so damn loud. First thing I did on my 4890 was replace it. If it was quieter this may have been a cool thing to have. Still though, props to all the creators. Cool art!

Why even post the ones using copyrighted images? I want to see original works of art here.

Seriously, alot of these follow this formula: Google image search something hot, flashy, or fast, then use photoshop and some cool font to put in the card name. WOWEE THAT'S AMAZING.

I have seen some very impressive stuff here though. Stuff that you can tell is homemade.

as i said in the other thread, we will determine the best designs first and then remove the copyrighted ones top down. this saves a lot of work and drama

there will be 8 judges from amd/his and 3 from tpu

I submitted two entries, however I have a favourite design that I simply LOVE. I won't be disappointed if I ain't among the winners. Glory to those who deserve it.

I saw my two entries. As said earlier, a lot of these conflict the rules. Mine don't btw. But what ever is left, it will be hard to choose. Some very creative work indeed.

Everyone can make a sticker and slap it on his own card. But this is different.

I like these:

This I could see on a card tomorrow

These are more out of the norm, but wouldn't mind seeing any of them on my card (if I had 4890)

http://www.techpowerup.com/contests/...hd4890_298.jpg

Some stuff was there multiple times, couple duds, but overall nice quality.

Some amazing designs here- with that many entries, I can see how the judges have their work cut out for themselves.

Good luck to all who entered!
