NVIDIA Announces New Game Bundle, Requires GeForce Experience to Activate

[mattyfez]

Free games with hardware have always been a gimmick if you ask me. I'd rather just buy the hardware at a cheaper price and I'll get my own games thanks.

How does this actually work?

Cause I'd assume if you redeem the coupon code using GeForce Experience, you'll just be given another code to run the game from whatever platform it belongs to, like steam?

What’s more, you can uninstall Nvidia’s GeForce Experience app after redeeming the coupon code and even use a different graphics card.

So if it's just required to get the final code then this won't stop reselling.

Or does GeForce Experience somehow have to activate the game after it's first installed?

Won't see AMD pulling this anti-consumer ****. Nvidia suck.

Because they couldn't, they have so little pull.

I have had a code sent to me today from the company i bought my GT73VR 7RF laptop from , as good a will gesture as i bought the laptop before the promotion began. they sent me a free laptop bag worth £20 with my machine but my Titan pro don't fit it , so they sent me a code instead and a £12 refund.

My problem is i have no interest in the game FOR HONOR , and i have the Ghost Recon Wildlands on pre-order (present from partner) . so this means i can not sell the code on ?

I could in a way ask my partner to get refund on pre-order then use the code but dont want to hurt her feelings .

My Wife would not see that as hurting her feelings. If you already own it then the gesture alone still stands that she bought it for you. Theres no need to waste money IMO

Code activation is through Uplay via GFE after linking your Uplay account with your GFE account, GFE does the hardware(1070/80 present in system) check.

Edit-To clarify, code redemption is redeemed via GFE ap, there is no second code to sell on.

Am I correct on thinking a code bundled with a new 1070/1080 card could be sold/used to/by an existing user of one of these cards. Just not by an owner of an older card.

So as a Linux user i'd be screwed as there's no client?

Good to know.

Stop you Wine-ing
