Nvidia’s insanely powerful RTX 5090 is right around the corner. Priced at $2,000, the GPU is far from cheap — but Nvidia is hosting a sweepstakes where you can try your luck at winning one. Here’s how to participate and attempt to win Nvidia’s best graphics card.

Nvidia has already been giving away some GPUs, as well as a whole custom PC, in the lead-up to the launch of the RTX 50-series. Now that the cards are no longer a secret, the sweepstakes have moved on from the classic GeForce 256 to the GeForce RTX 5090, which is bound to be a beastly card (although perhaps not as beastly as the benchmarks would have you believe).

The company shared a post on X (Twitter) detailing how to win the RTX 5090. It’s all very simple: You just have to like this post and leave a comment underneath it using the hashtag GeForceRTX50.

According to Nvidia, every card that’s featured in its posts marks a chance for you to win. It’s unclear how long the sweepstakes will go on for, as the terms and conditions page appears to be broken right now.

The hype surrounding Nvidia’s CES 2025 keynote is definitely real. Nvidia announced the RTX 5090, RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti, and the RTX 5070, and all of these GPUs are set to arrive soon. The first two are launching this month, on January 30, and the other two are coming sometime in February. However, if you try your luck, who knows — you might get yourself an RTX 5090 early (and save $2,000 in the process).

Nvidia hinted that there’d be more ways to win, so perhaps there’ll be more than one RTX 5090 up for grabs. Your best bet is to follow Nvidia’s socials and join in whenever something is happening.

Viture Pro 2 smart glasses

Quick summary

Two years ago, I had the chance to test out the Viture Pro smart glasses. I was impressed by the chic design and the stunning display units, but there were a few minor hiccups that kept them from becoming an instant buy for XR fans. The asking price of $459, ultimately, made them a tough recommendation for anyone who is not a diehard enthusiast or doesn't have the spare cash to spend. The successor, however, is an altogether different beast.

Your Mac might have a screen sharing problem, and hackers already know about it
A patch is only useful once you install it.
macOS Tahoe 26 public beta running on the M4 MacBook Air 15

If you've been putting off that macOS update sitting in your notifications, this is the week to stop and install it. 

Apple quietly patched a serious screen sharing flaw in macOS earlier this month. While that usually means the issue is resolved, new evidence shows hackers already broke into unpatched Macs, hijacked them, and used them for cryptocurrency mining before the fix shipped.

The FCC has a track record of using its Covered List to squeeze Chinese tech out of American markets, and robots just became its newest target. Foreign-made humanoids, quadrupeds, and even robot vacuums now need to be mostly built in the U.S. to sell here (via Rest of World). 

So what does the new rule actually require?
