To ensure that owners of GTX 295s or HD 5870s don’t win by virtue of their wallet, the Beat Me If You Dare competition will have three rounds, each of which is for a different GPU. In October, owners of GTX 260 graphics cards can compete; November sees GTX 275 cards go toe-to-toe, and December’s round is for GTX 275 SLI setups.
To enter you need to register on the Beat Me If You Dare site and follow the terms and conditions. Pay particular attention to how you need to submit your scores, and to the rules forbidding liquid helium use and so forth. Generously, Gigabyte will let you use any brand of graphics card, just as long as it has the required GPU.
You can follow the proceedings, and ask questions and get tips via Gigabyte’s Twitter feed, its facebook page or the new Gigabyte Support Forum on bit-tech. Let us know what you think of the competition, and whether you’ll be entering, via the forums.
*UPDATE*

In order to maintain the fairness of this OC event for all attendees, Gigabyte announces a new rule as below:
