Tends to be just voucher code for it to be downloaded

When I bought 5870 it came with a dirt 2 themed piece of paper with a code on it. Had to put the code into steam.

I'd guess for crysis 2 you'll get a code too that you'll have to enter on the EA Origin web site.

yeah both my i5 and 5850 came with a piece of card with a code to download operation rising and dirt 2 respectively via steam.

They also often come on discs, but not nearly as much these days.

Those were the days.

I remember when i bought a sapphire x1800xl there was a cd with 5 games, you could trial each for one hour then choose which one to unlock for good.

Last disc I got was of Dark Messiah with my 8800GT, back in 2007. Since then, my GTX 260 and GTX 560 just came with download codes, for CoD:WaW and Mafia 2 respectively.

Oops, I thought they still came in disk form (I must have 6 copies of STALKER). My new card was supposed to have a copy of Crysis 2, I must have binned the voucher. Oh well, I heard it was poo anyways.

recently i've had codes for a game of my choise
could chose out of a selection of games which one i wanted.

i think my old 8800 was the last time i got games on Disc

No form whatsoever, I've never received one.

Bought two GTX 480 cards on two separate occasions from here and I never got anything, even when I emailed about it.

Were the games advertised with the card?
