Here's a video from the last Texas GamExperience in 2009

rmp00n, myself, UnkoSam, and Cr@sh2828 went to this event on Saturday.

As soon as we walked in the door, we were greeted with a name badge, free mouse pad and AMD/[H]ardOCP t-shirt.

They held a TF2 competition challenge, which, I think we should have signed up. =) Gamers who were part of the winning team all got 6870's.

There were a couple of vendor booths set up, XFX and ASUS. Learned some interesting information from both vendors. XFX had their triple monitor stand on display and ASUS brought out their systems and showed off GPU Tweak software along with some of their new products.

They held several raffles throughout the day with multiple awesome prizes (graphics cards, power supplies, motherboards, and SSD's) and even gave away 2 - 5970's put into 1 card. I think the retail price is somewhere around ~$1000.00.

rmp00n and Cr@sh2828 walked away big winners in the raffle.
rmp00n = APU motherboard, 6670 video card, and Corsair H60.
Cr@sh2828 = 1050W Corsair PSU.

Just wanted to take the time out to thank AMD and [H]ardOCP for putting this event together.

How was the AMD Bulldozer demo?

They had it running a triple monitor setup (3 projectors across a tarp made to look like 3 - 100' screens using NTHUSIM) playing Dirt 3. Even had the whole inside car feel with steering wheel, built-in seat with tilt/vibration, and manual transmission setup.

I didn't get a chance to test that out with the lines, but maybe Jer can provide some input since he got a chance to play.

He is still working on making the hard-on go down, the best he has been able to muster so far is....

Give the poor guy a few more hours. Mixing Viagra with that kind of gaming experience is potentially dangerous at his age.

haha
The game was awesome. Didn't get anything out of Bulldozer. Unfortunately it was a PC on the ground running the game, but that's about it. Wouldn't have even know Bulldozer was running that PC had we not asked where it was.
