You Can Win a Graphics Card: Tell Us Who the Best Technology Producers Are
Every year, during the summer period, we ask the readers of Hardware Upgrade to let us know which companies in the tech world and what types of products have captivated your interest over the last 12 months. To do this, we invite you to vote in the Hardware Upgrade Community Awards 2026, a survey through which we gather your personal brand preferences divided by product category.
Hardware Upgrade Community Awards 2026: Make Your Voice Heard!
Expressing your preference is very simple: just access the survey at the following link: Hardware Upgrade Community Awards 2026 and select the manufacturers that have stood out the most in your indisputable judgment over the year for each of the represented categories. It is not essential to express a preference for every category; in fact, it is preferable to do so only for those in which you have a well-defined personal opinion.
The collected indications will help identify the preferred companies in various product categories: the data from Italian readers of Hardware Upgrade will also contribute to selecting the best manufacturers at the European level in the EHA Reader Awards 2026, as similar initiatives are currently ongoing by the sites that make up the European Hardware Association:
- Hardwareluxx in Germany,
- KitGuru in the UK,
- iO-Tech in Finland,
- PurePC in Poland,
- Lab501 in Romania,
- Geeknetic in Spain,
- Technology Insider in the Netherlands, and
- CowCotland in France.
At the end of the survey, if you wish, you can participate in the draw for a fantastic prize: a graphics card of your choice between an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070Ti or one with an AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT GPU, with a maximum purchase value of €1,099. The winner will be announced on July 26 and can choose the graphics card of their personal preference, both for GPU and manufacturer brand, with the only constraint of the maximum cost of €1,099, including taxes and shipping costs.
You have until July 26 to express your preference. Voting is open until 10:59 PM on July 26, 2026; the winner will be announced on July 29, 2026. In the following days, we will publish the results of the preferences of Hardware Upgrade readers, discussing in a dedicated article what the preferences of Italian consumers are regarding the best companies for each product category.
This survey is organized by the European Hardware Association, of which Hardware Upgrade is a founding member. Any email addresses collected will be handled in compliance with regulations and used solely to notify the winner of the prize: once this has been done, the email addresses will be deleted. The entity responsible for collecting the email addresses of participants in the drawing and for the offered prize is Parsec Media, the publisher of the site Geeknetic, which is a founding member of the European Hardware Association. Parsec Media will oversee the delivery of the prize to the winner drawn from all participants on a European basis. You can participate in the survey by following this link.
