Gainward GeForce GTX 780Ti Phantom - No Free Games ?

mrix · 29 Dec 2013 at 18:54

Hello all, I just purchased the Gainward GeForce GTX 780Ti Phantom from overclockers and noticed after it showed there were no Free games ? I thought all these series of cards come with the free games ?
Any idea`s ?
Thanks all

Yeah you should get an email to links for your codes. I just bought a Titan and received three games.

It won't be in the box if its the nVidia offer - you will get the links to redeem the codes mailed to the inbox tied to your shop account.

Hi I have had nothing mailed to me but I have just posted in support so hopefully they will be able to clarify.
Thanks

Mine from my 780ti were also linked from the order history page on ocuk...

Hi, No that does not show in my order ? maybe its because I purchased a Gainward card? I thought it was an Nvidia addition though ?
I should be more the wiser I guess when support get back to me.
Thanks

I just looked and noticed it doesn't show any free games when I click on the Gainward Phantom 780ti where the Gainward REF cooled 780ti does show them.. :confused:

Yes I too noticed that hence my topic :confused:

It appears all other cards have the free games, I cannot see why this high end card would not come with the offer :confused:

A lot of the lower end cards appear to have the free games offers also.

The Asus 780Ti DirectCUII & Gigabyte 780Ti GHz Edition also don't show the games..

Yes could point, I wonder why they give free games with lower end cards and not other higher spec cards? I thought initially it was a deal from Nvidia on all these series of cards :confused:

Bit disappointed if I miss out on playing the New assassin`s black flag, spent a small fortune on the card so have to tighten the old belt unfortunately.

I presumed all 7 series nvidia cards came with free games

Yes I did also, and that may still be the case as I have not heard anything back from support at the moment.
Thanks

Apparently it does not come with promotions as they run out a few weeks back :eek:

This card has only been available until recently :confused:

Anyway that`s the least of my problems, the card arrived today with a damaged inner box the puter fan shroud is lose and the manual has been read as some of the pages are bent over :eek:

Decided to fit it anyway and it does not work :eek:

Just my luck!

Look at this as your chance to get it replaced with one of the other 780ti that does come with the free game codes..

I wouldn't spend 550+ on a graphics card without games!

I have asked for a replacement as I have always been a fan of Gainward phantom cards but I must admit its very tempting to get a refund to purchase another Ti that actually comes with games.
I think the lose shroud on the fans has disappointed me quality wise :eek:

I need a card! been longing to play BF4

Thanks all

Right I have racked my brains and have decided to get a refund to then purchase the Evga Ti card, unfortunately the refund will take time to clear so knowing my luck their present deal will expire.
I did want just an exchange but unfortunately they only do Like for Like which is a shame as that would have been the ideal solution my end.
Never mind the wait continues.
Thanks all
