Nvidia

Nvidia has announced their latest gaming promotion, titled “Pick your path” for selected graphics cards and notebooks. Please see below for PR note [1]:

“The Crew. Far Cry 4. Assassin’s Creed Unity. These are flagship titles that will make PC gamers take notice.

We’ve long been working with Ubisoft to put our latest technologies to work in these cutting-edge games. Now we’re working to put these titles into the hands of more gamers.

As part of our “Pick Your Path” promotion kicking off this week, gamers who buy a qualifying GeForce GTX GPU can add The Crew, Far Cry 4 or Assassin’s Creed Unity to their library for free. GPUs that qualify for the offer are GeForce GTX 980, 970, 780 Ti or 780,  or a notebook with GeForce GTX 980M or 970M.

GameWorks at Work

Each game is an excellent example of our GameWorks technology at work. By integrating technologies such as HBAO+ for realistic shadows and TXAA for cinema quality smoothness and enhanced 4K support, Ubisoft delivers games that push the industry forward.

Our more than 300 GameWorks engineers help game developers make games better, and build them faster. NVIDIA invests more than anyone else to delivering a better gaming experience – from install to play – through a combination of engineering efforts and support for developers.

The only question is which of these games do you want to experience next:

  • Assassin’s Creed Unity, the latest installment in Ubisoft’s most successful franchise, will feature HBAO+, TXAA, PCSS and tessellation technologies, allowing Ubisoft to set its game in a sprawling digital reconstruction of late 18th century Paris.
  • Far Cry 4 is another legendary game series getting a visual and technology upgrade. Besides HBAO+, TXAA, PCSS and enhanced 4K support, Far Cry 4 integrates NVIDIA “Godrays” technology so gamers can all but feel the sun beating down in the Himalayas, and NVIDIA HairWorks, for rendering the hyper-realistic adversaries players encounter.
  • The Crew is the ultimate street racing game. Motoring through the bustling streets of New York City and Los Angeles, cruising down sunny Miami Beach or trekking through the plateaus of Monument Valley looks superb thanks to the use of HBAO+ and TXAA technologies – all rendered in breathtaking 4K.

While the new Maxwell cards have been certainly a success, with retailers reporting record sales so far, we still would have liked to see the option for all 3 games. AMD’s various “Never Settle” iterations have spoiled us there!
