Nvidia's RTX 3000 series will come with Watch Dogs Legion and a free year of GeForce Now

[midian182]

Something to look forward to: After months of rumors and speculation, Nvidia’s RTX 3000 series was finally revealed yesterday—and it looks very tasty. For those who want more reasons to upgrade once the cards hit the shelves, here are two: anyone who buys an RTX 3070, RTX 3080, or RTX 3090 will get a copy of Watch Dogs Legion and a year’s subscription to GeForce Now for free.

The offer runs from September 17, the day of the RTX 3080’s worldwide release, until October 29, which is when Watch Dogs Legion arrives. It covers both individual cards and pre-built systems that include the new Ampere products. Nvidia has a full list of card models, PCs, and participating retailers on its website.

In addition to a free copy of the third Watch Dogs title, buyers will also get a year’s free GeForce Now Founders subscription, which will begin as soon as the bundle code is redeemed—just make sure to do so before November 30.

Showing off Watch Dogs Legion's ray tracing effects

Watch Dogs Legion looks like it will be an excellent game in its own right, and the addition of RTX-specific features such as ray tracing and a special DLSS Ultra Performance mode for 8K makes it even more compelling, especially for those eyeing an RTX 3090.

“The new DLSS Ultra Performance mode delivers 9x AI Super Resolution (1440p internal rendering output at 8K using AI), while maintaining crisp image quality,” Nvidia wrote. “And along with the GeForce RTX 3090’s 24GB frame buffer and powerful rendering capabilities, 8K is now a reality, even in demanding ray-traced games like Watch Dogs Legion.”

I have no intentions of ever paying for "Geforce Now".

Cool. That was on my "watch" list. Gonna go with the 3080 rather than 3090 cos if those tflop numbers are to be believed then the 3090 ain't worth anywhere near double the cost.

I was hoping for a Cyberpunk bundle with these new cards.

Watch Dogs supposed to be any good?

OK?

Never been a fan of Watch Dogs although I know nothing about the new title so maybe it'll be good. Been stuck at 1080p with my aging GTX 980. Definitely looking forward to the upgrade but I'll wait to see what AMD brings to the table. Hopefully Cyberpunk partners with someone for a bundle, plenty of time until November.

Ohh I now have a GPU I no longer need Gforce now.

looks up at the sky with a dumb look on my face.

Just though about it this way, as the one buying the card you don't need GeForce now, but that 1 year sub is worth something to someone, maybe give it to a family member or a friend. Can even go as far as to sell it as it's just an activation code potentially anyone can use.

Could also use it when you travel, or anywhere you don't have access to your main rig. So it's not totally useless, just not the best incentive out there. I'd still take Cyberpunk over it, wait, is Cyberpunk going to be on GeForce now?...

Same here. That’s unlikely though given the demand for that game.

WD 1 = garbage
WD 2 = gold (stunning visuals, fun gameplay, silicon valley and all)
WD 3 = not for me but maybe if you liked that anarchy thing (just looks goofy af to me)
