While nowhere the standards of AMD’s Never Settle Reloaded, Nvidia does often try to bundle a game with some of its cards here and there in a bit of a piecemeal fashion. The latest attempt comes with select Nvidia graphics cards and the game Splinter Cell Blacklist. The eligible graphics cards will be the GTX 660, GTX 660Ti, GTX 670, GTX 680, GTX 760, GTX 770 and GTX 780. However, the key thing to note is you must buy from a participating retailer. In the UK our friends at Overclockers UK and Scan Computers are both involved in this promotion so be sure to hit these guys up if you are looking to cash in on the promotion.
The game developer of Splinter Cell Blacklist, Ubisoft, has been working closely with Nvidia during the making of the game so it will be heavily optimised for Nvidia GPUs notably the latest Kepler architecture. This means features like Nvidia HBAO+ and TXAA will run more optimally on Nvidia graphics cards because of the way the game has been designed. Even if you aren’t interested in the game it could be a good incentive to buy as you can easily sell off the game code as a small rebate on the amount you pay for your game. For North American buyers see here for availability details.
