NVIDIA to Bundle Metro: Last Light for GTX 660 and Above

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 04/12/2013 01:04 PM | source: | 23 comment(s)

It seems that the Never Settle (Reloaded) promotion ignited a bit of a mud-fight in-between AMD and NVIDIA. AMD gives away totally awesome games with their graphics cards as you know. And NVIDIA on their end introduced a fairly poor in-game credit promotion for World of Tanks, Planetside 2 and Hawken. However it seems that NVIDIA is willing to step up their game and will give away Metro: Last Light with all GeForce GPUs better then the $200 GeForce GTX 660.

We heard that this bundle will go live starting April 16th. The game itself will be released on May 17th.

Good job. Nvidia's been taking this 2 to 1 market lead to the bank and not passing on much of the profits to the consumer. Hopefully the PhysX effects in this game are better than the flack sparks in Metro: 2033.

Don't you just love competition.

Nvidia are following AMD from what it looks like by including brand new triple A games with their cards.

Competition is a great thing. I remember, and its completely different from PC tech, watching wrestling back in the late 90's (its hay day in my opinion). Both Companies WWF(now WWE) and WCW fighting for viewers on a Monday night. It was epic! I much prefered WCW at the time (96-99) but both companies would seriously fight it out, some trying dirty underhand tricks, some trying new and inventive ways to entice people to switch channel.

There is nothing better than good competition!! And if AMD went away, the industry would suffer massively. Both Intel and Nvidia would have a field day with prices!

Hehe... now they just need to add a second and/or third AAA title game and we'll talk business.
