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.

They should just sell them in bulk to miners for a discount. There are still some who are willing to add to their hashing power for the right price.
It would also help to lower the price below MSRP. Gamers aren't going to pay such prices for two-year old tech.

GTX1060 6G £250, well if your in the market for one of these cards i suppose getting a free 120gig SSD drive is your best bang for buck at this time.

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

But stubbornly not willing to slash prices like the should.
That is just not Nvidia like.

NVidia has always come up with interesting ways to clear out stock. Anyone recall why XFX switch to AMD only? Or what put the last nail in the coffin for BFG selling video cards?
If you wanted to sign on to buy 4xx chips you have to take a boat load of 2xx chips. This resulted is some rather interesting 2xx cards. Like low profile 250gts and single slot 260s.

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.

Some one needs to tell nvidia that by cutting the price instead to give a SSD would make those card's sell faster , take 50euros of the gtx1060 3GB and it will sell like fresh cake.

Nobody wants to buy Kingston SSDNow, because "everyone" buy Samsung ssd's. Kingston must have "millions" of Kingston SSDNow in stock :p
Give them away is a good thing for costumers.

In the U.S. All we get is a $20.00 steam card or a 10% off promo code. But they all upped the price on the Graphics cards $10.00-$30.00 Dollars LOL before the (not) deals. Cements the reason I will Not buy until these prices get real.

I check prices every day on Newegg and the best time to buy is on a wednesday or early thursday. If you check it every day you will notice that the price drops just a bit on those days. DO NOT buy on a weekend with NewEgg. Sat and sunday, NewEgg increases the prices on damn near everything.
