Following our Assassin's Creed 4 graphics technology analysis, nVidia has announced their 2013 holiday season video card game bundles. From October 28th through the holiday season, GTX 660 & 760 purchasers receive a free copy of Splinter Cell: Blacklist, Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, and $50 off of the SHIELD. Any system builders purchasing a GTX 770, 780, or Titan video card will also receive Batman: Arkham Origins and $100 off of nVidia's SHIELD.
Full details with lots of fluff text can be found here. It appears that nVidia's "F2P bundle" is finally fading away, which has been -- quite honestly -- impressively uninteresting in the face of AMD's Never Settle ("Forever," now) game bundles. Free games make a good deal of difference in our recommendation considerations, so these do play a large role in the desirability of video cards to consumers. AMD's bundle, for comparison purposes, can be found in the image below.
