Jealous at NVIDIA? In any case, the chameleon firm’s graphics cards will finally benefit from a video game offered as a bundle.
A few weeks ago, AMD announced – quite proudly – that it had signed a partnership with Bethesda/Microsoft without us knowing very well what exactly it was about.
A few days later, the information became clearer and we learned that recent buyers of a Radeon RX could benefit from a copy of Starfieldthe back-to-school game, without spending money.
Alan Wake 2 as a gift with the RTX 4000
Once usual, this fashion for bundles has fallen into disuse, but NVIDIA has undoubtedly been stung. Only a few weeks after AMD returned to these gifts, NVIDIA is doing the same.
Of course, there is no question here of offering Starfield to recent purchasers of GeForce cards. It wouldn’t make sense for a game promoted by the competition anyway. On the other hand, it took a “big” game to cause a sensation. A title capable of intriguing players. And when it comes to plot, it’s hard to do better than the franchise Alan Wake.
Yes, NVIDIA confirms that “ Buyers of GeForce RTX 4070, 4070 Ti, 4080, and 4090 graphics cards and desktop PCs, or a laptop equipped with a GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop GPU, RTX 4080 Laptop GPU, or RTX 4070 Laptop GPU at select retailers and Online retailers will receive a digital copy of the game, to play when it releases on October 27 “.
An offer that runs until November 13
We suspected it, but NVIDIA obviously points out thatAlan Wake 2 will benefit from “ advanced technologies » from the brand: full ray tracing, DLSS 3.5 with ray reconstruction and reflex will be on the menu.
More importantly, NVIDIA specifies that the offer runs until November 13. However, we do not have details on the start date. Will those who purchased a card two weeks ago be affected? We would like to believe it. And a month ago? We will try to find out more and we will clarify the matter for you.
On the other hand, it is worth recalling the precision of NVIDIA when it talks about its offer: “ at select retailers and online resellers “. In fact, not all resellers and stores are affected by the offer. Here again, we are trying to clarify the matter as quickly as possible.
Finally, alongside the announcement of this bundle, NVIDIA specifies that the latest version of the GeForce Game Ready drivers (537.58) has been published. With it, we are talking, in particular, about support for the beta of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare IIIof Forza Motorsport and of Lords of the Fallen.
