    Yeah but you know nvidia they probably charge sony and the others to promote those games.j/k

    Most people will just buy the card and get those coupons as and after thuoght Then install the games and see how much they suck then stop playing.... Simple :)

    As apossed to getting the card for the Top titles in the bundle like amd did

    Nv is to cheap to buy the bundle for c3 like they did with c1 and thats what they really should do...

    You buy a graphics card to play games, no?

    Well, my experience in the past has always been that if I can find a "bare" card without a bundle in times that normally has bundles I can always get that card a tad bit cheaper. And that is good, since more often than not I have no interest in the bundled games.

    That's one sucky bundle. At least with the AMD bundle you get stuff that will push your hardware.

    Even I benefit from AMD's promotions, I get those games dirt cheap and I will do the same again! Already have a complete setup, so don't care about what either companies offer now but I don't see anyone picking an Nvidia card because of these games.

    Yes I do. But I'm not going to let a bundle determine what I'm going to buy. I've owned one AMD card in my life and I will never own another one. I don't care if they give me 30 free games with it.

    I feel pretty much the same with Nvidia cards. ;) (They get hotter than the centre of the sun)But I think the FTP money off game promos are not so bad.

    not all nvidia cards suffer heat problems...so dont know what you're basing that experience on. (480/295 perhaps?)

    Same goes for AMD, in fact I think heat issues are a thing of the past, coolers on both sides are good.

    which was known for being extremely hot in general. AMD had the same issues with the cards out at the time. the card i bought before the 8800.. (x1600 or some such) overheated on me day1 and I had to replace it with the 8800 rofl!

    Funny how any news from AMD or Nvidia, no matter how trivial, can trigger a squabble here on the forums between rival factions. If AMD and Nvidia were neighboring countries, the citizens of both nations would have gone to war a long time ago without their governments' declaration of war (seeing how the two are in collusion with one another).

    If i go and buy another 680 tomorrow i'll get ass creed3 and £100 in-game credit to use in three ftp games.
    Thing is two of those are about to be injected with some nice PhysX effects, which is just fantastic, i've tried Hawken, it's ok but the in-game credit will make it more fun, same for planetside, but i'm not touching that till the PhysX injection.
    So yeah, it's all good.
    *I'm actually debating on another card within the next few days but best to wait till after titan i guess till prices fall a bit. (though cards are more difficult to find as time goes on)

    I'll be eternally grateful if a good soul will donate his WoT code to my poor soul. :D
