You can now win a one-of-a-kind RTX 5090, but you need to be quick
Although May 4 is behind us, Nvidia is still celebrating Star Wars Day with a giveaway of its best graphics card — the RTX 5090. The card, available in two unique shrouds — one for Star Wars and one for Star Trek — is up for grabs, but time is running out to score this expensive, one-of-a-kind GPU. 'May the Fourth be with you' is a slogan that every Star Wars fan hears at least once a day. A play on the iconic 'May the Force be with you,' it's used to mark May 4th, officially recognized as Star Wars day. This year, Nvidia jumped on the celebration bandwagon, with an interesting twist: Instead of focusing on Star Wars, Nvidia decided to make fans choose between two favorites. Recommended Videos The company prepared two versions of the RTX 5090, and each is up for grabs through a giveaway. Due to the design of the Founders Edition of Nvidia's RTX 50-series, there's not much space on the shroud to really celebrate either franchise, but both cards look fantastic regardless. One sports the timeless X-Wing from Star Wars, and the other one the Enterprise NCC-1701 from Star Trek. The ultimate #MayThe4thBeWithYou showdown What side of the galaxy are you choosing? 🌌 GeForce RTX 5090 w/ Star Wars' fearless X-Wing 🖖 GeForce RTX 5090 w/ Star Trek's legendary Enterprise NCC-1701 Tell us why you'd choose Star Wars OR Star Trek & use #RTXON to enter to WIN — NVIDIA GeForce (@NVIDIAGeForce) May 4, 2025 All you need to do to win is to reply to one of Nvidia's social media posts and explain why you'd choose Star Wars or Star Trek, then add #RTXON. Nvidia values the card at $2,750, but in reality, it's most likely worth a lot more. Various terms and conditions apply, but the most important thing is that this contest is not available everywhere. If you live in the U.S., you can't win the GPU if you're from the state of New York or Florida, or from Puerto Rico. Many other countries have also been excluded. Additionally, you need to be at least 18 to participate. The giveaway ends on May 6 at 5 PM PT, so time is running short. The odds may not be in your favor, with thousands of participants trying their luck, but you might as well give it a shot — you never know. I threw my hat in the ring and I'm hoping for the best.

How to find story quests in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 3
(Image Via Epic Games) Fortnite Galactic Battle is out now. It comes with 5 hidden story quests spread across the island. It blends the Star Wars storyline with exploration. To find them and unlock them, you will need to hunt for the clues (explore the map), interact with the iconic characters, and tackle all the unique challenges uncovered. Unlike the previous seasons, the missions are not just handed out automatically. Here is where to look and how to start each of the narrative-driven challenges. How to find story quests in Fortnite Galactic Battle Season Hidden Story Quests Guide (Data Log Locations, Broken Tie Fighter, General Grievous & More) Fortnite In the current season, the Fortnite Chapter 6 story quests are hidden across the island, marked by the green circles on the map. You will need to visit each of these zones and interact with the NPCs or specific objects to trigger the missions. While some require retrieving the items, other quests include piloting the ships or talking to characters like Poe Dameron or General Grievous. Rebel Data Log Entries To find it, head to the Rebel Outposts that are marked by the green circles on the map. It can be near Resistance Base or Burd to Go. Look for the glowing computers and then interact with them to Retrieve Data Log. Complete the action 4 times across varied locations/matches. Fortnite - Retrieve The Rebel Data Log Entry (Story Quests) Watch out for a very common glitch. If the computer freezes after interacting, it's suggested that the match be quit and restarted. Give priority to quieter outposts early in the game to avoid interruptions from enemy players. Bring General Grievous Jedi Padawan Lightsaber You can find General Grievous on the northeast of Rolling Blossoms Farm. He will ask you for the lightsaber, which needs tracking of Rey's hologram. Once the 1st story circle closes, check the map for the blue lightsaber icon and race for it before the others. How to EASILY Bring a Jedi Padawan Lightsaber to General Grievous Fortnite Interact with Ray's hologram to claim the lightsaber and then come back to Grievous. The quest will reward XP and tie it to the season's Sith vs. Jedi narrative. Destroy Structures using X-Wing Guns For it, visit Poe Dameron at Resistance Base, located south of the Lavish Lair. Accept the Flight Lessons quest from him and hop into the X-Wing. Make sure to aim for structures like trees, buildings, etc., and fire 25 times to complete the objective. *SECRET XP QUEST* Destroy Structures with X-Wing's Guns - Fortnite Found Story Quest Return back to Poe to earn a Legendary A280-CFE Blaster Rifle. You can revisit him in future matches for repeating quests for easier high-tier loot. Fix TIE Fighter on the south of Flooded Frogs Land at Revel Outpost, located south of the Flooded Frogs and interact with the computer near a broken TIE fighter. Collect the 3 fuel canisters (marked with the quest icons) that are scattered nearby and deposit them into the ship. Gather fuel and fix the TIE Fighter Fortnite Galactic Battle After the repair, you can pilot the TIE Fighter immediately. You can even return in the later matches to repeat the fights. It is ideal for the players who love to dominate the skies! Retrieve Stormtrooper Data Logs For it, visit Vader Samurai's Solitude, located northwest of the Redline Rig, and search the houses for the Stormtrooper computers. Then, interact with 4 of them across varied matches and finish the quest. Retrieve the stormtrooper Rebel Data Log Entry Fortnite (first, second, third and forth) Unlike the Rebel logs, these logs are concentrated in 1 area. It makes it faster but even riskier because of the enemy traffic. Drop here when there are less crowded match phases. It will help you avoid the early eliminations. Pro tips to find and complete story quests Land at the quest locations after the battle bus launch. Complete Rey's hologram lightsaber quest mid-game when there are fewer players around. TIE Fighter repair is valuable for the long term. Watch for the visual glitches at the computer terminals. The Resistance Base X-Wing quest will give the best reward—a legendary blaster. Pair the quests with the weekly challenges to maximize the XP gains. Keep an eye on the map updates, as Epic Games might add more story missions later on in the season. For now, focus on the above 5 quests for leveling up and piecing together a Galactic Battle narrative.

Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 start time – when you can dive into the Star Wars Galactic Battle season
It's almost time to take down the Death Star as the new Fortnite season approaches with a number of iconic Star Wars characters in tow. Fortnite's next season is putting you in the pilot's seat of the X-Wing, as it is set to plunge players into a Star Wars-themed whirlwind of content. It's no secret anymore – Fortnite is gearing up for a massive change with its incoming Galactic Battle season, putting Emperor Palpatine in the driver's seat for a new Star Wars adventure. The new mini-season will be a major departure from what we experienced this season with a much shorter length and new jam-packed Battle Pass set to replace the comparatively long Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 Battle Pass. There's a lot to get excited for, with heaps of new cosmetics like Darth Jar Jar and Mace Windu to unlock, and the next Fortnite live event taking place at the season's end, but we are going to have to get to the start of the season before we get too excited. Luckily, there's a strong estimate for the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 start time, so we can be prepared for the season the very moment it goes live. So, when exactly can we expect the incoming Galactic Battle season to touch down? Here's what you need to know about the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 start time. Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 start time The Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 start time will be around 3.30am PDT / 6.30am EDT / 11.30am BST on Friday, May 2. This is yet to be officially revealed by Epic Games, but we can deduce this to be the estimated start time as the end of Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 comes five hours prior, and after the Chapter 6 Season 2 downtime lasted for just over five hours, we can expect a similar amount of downtime to lead us into Galactic Battle. The new Season is going to be a real blast for fans of the Star Wars franchise, but at the same time, it has to keep in mind that there are dedicated Fortnite players who are in need of a good quality season with or without a broad pop culture crossover. Only once the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 start time is here can we say for sure if it's any good, but until then, we're having to play the waiting game.
