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

nvidia and ubisoft partner for geforce gpu game bundle gtx980 side front
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.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 vs. AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT: battle of the flagships
Nvidia and AMD's CEOs side-by-side.

Nvidia and AMD have been competing for years, trading blows when it comes to claiming the coveted spot of the best GPU of the year. Nvidia was often dubbed the winner in these battles, but in recent years, AMD has caught up with its RDNA 2 cards. Now, with the RTX 4090 claiming the performance crown, it's time to match up the flagships from Nvidia and AMD and see how they compare.

Nvidia's GeForce RTX 4090 is the crown jewel of the brand-new Ada Lovelace RTX 40-Series lineup. AMD is yet to release its new graphics cards, although RDNA 3 is on the way. As such, Nvidia's flagship is one generation ahead of AMD's Radeon RX 6950 XT, but the latter can certainly stand its ground. Let's see how these two beastly GPUs compare to one another.
