Gainward Interviewed

Posted by Fluke at 10:49 17/7/2002.

Gristy (cs.jolt.co.uk) has interviewed Wayne Tritton, the sales and marketing Director for Gainward UK Ltd, sponsors of the CPL UK Qualifiers:
Do you have a set aside budget for e-sport sponsoring [roughly of course]?
No, but we do have a UK Marketing Budget to cover all activities in the UK.

We know you already sponsor VGA and noc uk. But have you got any ideas for sponsoring any other e-sports teams.
Not as yet. The noc uk partnership is a new one for us so we will need to work hard with those guys and hopefully we will all benefit in the long term. It is great to be in contact with real gamers and to obtain their feedback on our products - it is a good way to improve our offerings to ensure we deliver what they want!

Nice interview Gristy...

When I decided to speak to Gainward (at the UK CPL finals) it was due to the quality of the gfx the machines were producing that had Gainward gf4 MX's in them.

I found Wayne genuinly interested in the teams and gaming and he explained that the Company was seriously wanting Gainward cards to be the choice of gamers, through honest honest comments and reviews of their cards....I personally can't fault Gainwards attitude or there hardware.

lol ryan, at CPL when you were talking to him, i was just about to have a moan at him for being fed up with the way that graphics cards are always sold with all the annoying extras that i & loads of gamers never use (like TV-out, all the DVI extra balls) yet put an extra £50 on the price tags (i know that they DO do cards without these, but they're usually the lower spec cards for some reason - "budget"wise, instead of just "Pure Gaming No Added Bollucks" :P), but just as i was about to say it, we got called to our noc match :( [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
