NVIDIA Gives Kingston SSD with the purchase of a 1050 or 1060 (Updated)

From the looks of it, NVIDIA might be trying to clear some stock as they offer a free SSD if you purchase a GeForce GTX 1050 or 1060 through select resellers. The promotion might have a geo cap though.

Right now it is a bit unclear if this applies to top the UK only (looks like it), but it could very well expand to other regions. It's a bit icky to see what model will get what SSD, so have a look at the landing page. You either get a 120GB or 240 GB SSD with select graphics cards.

Update: the bundle seems more widespread in the EU as the promotion has been verified in the Nordics as well, not just the UK.

Just in from NVIDIA: There are various deals available from participating retailers across Europe, so best thing to do is for people to check their respective NVIDIA websites for local ‘Made to Game’ deals and links.

to use a British expression, this is "weak tea".
these mainstream boards rarely if ever faced the same problems as their bigger brethren because they're crap at mining. so basically Nvidia made an additional goof during the mining heyday and over produced these cards to try to placate consumers who really wanted a 1070/ti.
at this price range AMD reigns supreme simply because of Freesync. the average consumer (not you guys) doesn't really understand tearing or artifacts, but they do understand smooth game-play. and the fact that there is a Freesync monitor at just about every price point...when G-Sync would add the price of another card to the system.
don't flame me, i use a G-Sync monitor with my Nvidia card(s).
i'm just saying...

I honestly don't understand the flak and do think it's a "win-win" scenario for both parties.

Nvidia get to sell their stocked GTX 1050 & 1060 graphics cards.

The consumer get a healthy discount (free ssd) when building a new system.
