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.

I find in the UK, if you go to Amazon, look at something 3 or 4 times over the week, then leave it for a week, they email you with discount!

I will have to try that! I check NewEgg every day. Time to try Amazon!

I only check amazon 1-2 times a week.

Seriously they do, visit the same page, over and over again for a week, then leave it for a week or so, they will email a cheaper price!

Obviously make sure you're logged in.....

My old 290 was able to match the 1060 performance and that card was £300.
How little we have travelled in these 5 years.

Yes, we should get a lot more for the price, the only thing that really has improved in this case is the efficiency.

So, if we factor price of undesirable SSD, does it actually hit original MSRP which nobody should consider as OK anymore, anyway?

You have been around long enough to answer you're own question.

What do you think?

Protip: Sell the ssd

While that is an option it is not answering the question.

He was assuming you we're experienced enough to not need that answered for you.

I have no idea, but here's a real solid guess.

No
