Nvidia plus Ubisoft equals hot deal: Some high-end GeForce cards will come with free games

Add as a preferred source on Google

When two giants of Nvidia’s and Ubisoft’s stature join forces, the sky is the limit for what such an alliance can produce.

The GPU manufacturer and game publisher are looking to out-gun AMD’s own “Never Settle” gaming bundles by offering a wicked promo before the holiday shopping season gets underway.

According to this Nvidia blog post, a slew of high-end GeForce graphics cards will be sold along with free coupon codes that grant access to Ubisoft’s hottest new games. You’ll be able to take your pick from Assassin’s Creed Unity, Far Cry 4, and The Crew, none of which are out yet.

We weren’t kidding when we said this included some of Ubisoft’s freshest titles.

The cards included in the deal are the GeForce GTX 980, 970, 780 Ti, and 780. Laptops touting Nvidia GeForce GTX 980M or 970M graphics will also qualify.

Unity rolls out November 11 here in the states. The fourth installment in the action-adventure Far Cry series drops a week later, while the open-world racing-centric The Crew launches on December 2. Each will cost around $60 when bought separately.

It’s decision time, gamers. Which path will you choose? It’s not an easy call, but it’s good to know that you have time to think it through. The promo expires January 31, 2015, and is available while “supplies last.”

Also, it’s important to note that you’ll need to buy one of the qualifying GPUs and notebooks from authorized Nvidia e-tail and retail partners to get in on this deal. Amazon, Newegg, TigerDirect, and MicroCenter are all on the list, but Best Buy, for instance, isn’t. Keep that in mind.

Last but not least, don’t forget to redeem your digital game download codes by visiting the Uplay Shop and following the instructions detailed here.

This one app has single-handedly improved my Mac experience
It won't reinvent macOS. It will just quietly fix everything that annoys you about it.
Supercharge app

Every once in a while, you come across an app that fundamentally changes how you use your Mac. Over the past year, Supercharge has been that app for me. It packs hundreds of tweaks and features that solve macOS’s several annoyances and add improvements that upgrade the experience. 

While it will be hard to cover all its features in a single article, here are my favorite Supercharge features that have single-handedly improved my Mac experience. They've become such an integral part of my workflow that I now miss them whenever I use a Mac without Supercharge.

What is Copilot? Everything you need to know about Microsoft’s AI assistant
There’s a Copilot for almost everything now. Here’s which one you need
Microsoft Copilot Banner Featured

Microsoft has attached the Copilot name to so many products that a simple question like "What is Copilot?" now needs a little more context. There is the main Microsoft Copilot chatbot, Copilot inside Microsoft 365, GitHub Copilot for developers, Gaming Copilot for Xbox users, and a separate category of Windows laptops called Copilot+ PCs.

For most people, Microsoft Copilot means the company’s general-purpose AI assistant. So you'd expect it to answer questions, search the web, generate and edit images, and the rest of the usual AI chatbot features. You can access it through a browser or dedicated apps for Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS. It is also integrated into Microsoft Edge, the Xbox mobile app, and Game Bar on Windows 11.

I tried to parody the most absurd AI products, but the tech industry beat me to it
The joke was supposed to be that every household object gets cameras, AI insights, and a premium tier. Apparently, that’s now a business plan
Imaginary AI products

I wanted to invent an AI product so silly that no founder could turn it into a seed round.

It had to solve a problem nobody had, collect far more data than the problem deserved, and turn normal behavior into an insight that sounded vaguely disappointed in its owner. Somewhere around the third feature, it would ask for a subscription.
