Nvidia plus Ubisoft equals hot deal: Some high-end GeForce cards will come with free games

Add as a preferred source on Google

When two giants of Nvidia’s and Ubisoft’s stature join forces, the sky is the limit for what such an alliance can produce.

The GPU manufacturer and game publisher are looking to out-gun AMD’s own “Never Settle” gaming bundles by offering a wicked promo before the holiday shopping season gets underway.

According to this Nvidia blog post, a slew of high-end GeForce graphics cards will be sold along with free coupon codes that grant access to Ubisoft’s hottest new games. You’ll be able to take your pick from Assassin’s Creed Unity, Far Cry 4, and The Crew, none of which are out yet.

We weren’t kidding when we said this included some of Ubisoft’s freshest titles.

The cards included in the deal are the GeForce GTX 980, 970, 780 Ti, and 780. Laptops touting Nvidia GeForce GTX 980M or 970M graphics will also qualify.

Unity rolls out November 11 here in the states. The fourth installment in the action-adventure Far Cry series drops a week later, while the open-world racing-centric The Crew launches on December 2. Each will cost around $60 when bought separately.

It’s decision time, gamers. Which path will you choose? It’s not an easy call, but it’s good to know that you have time to think it through. The promo expires January 31, 2015, and is available while “supplies last.”

Also, it’s important to note that you’ll need to buy one of the qualifying GPUs and notebooks from authorized Nvidia e-tail and retail partners to get in on this deal. Amazon, Newegg, TigerDirect, and MicroCenter are all on the list, but Best Buy, for instance, isn’t. Keep that in mind.

Last but not least, don’t forget to redeem your digital game download codes by visiting the Uplay Shop and following the instructions detailed here.

Intel’s comeback has become one of the market’s biggest surprises. Its stock has risen nearly 490% over the past year, pushing the company back into record territory and reviving confidence in a chipmaker many had written off.

The problem is that Intel still has little product success to justify that excitement.

Apple’s Continuity features are so good, they make Windows and Android feel incomplete
Android and Windows try, but Apple's ecosystem is on a whole different level.

Windows and Android platforms have been trying to catch up to Apple's ecosystem. And honestly, in some areas, they have succeeded. But replicating a feature here and there is very different from pulling off what Apple has built. The seamless, almost invisible way all of Apple's devices work together is genuinely hard to replicate.

Apple calls these Continuity features. You can use these features to seamlessly transition from one device to another, unlock devices without entering passwords, transfer files, and much more.
