WTB Division for $20 thnx.

 

[Tovarisc]

I bet Hitman runs better in Nvidia. We already know the Division prefers AMD. What a wacky world we live in.

Do we? It was listed in known issues for CB of Division that NV GPU's may and do have graphical issues with it. It may have impacted performance.

 

[Herne]

I would say I bought my 390X too soon, but then it was over six months ago. Full price Hitman for me!

 

[7DollarHagane]

So do I have to wait to purchase until the 17th or can I buy now and activate or register later?

 

[madjoki]

That only worked on ASUS nvidia cards, right? I bought an EVGA card recently and didn't bother trying those pages since it requires you to get a number from the bottom of the video card, and I didn't want to pop out my new card especially since I figured as an EVGA it wouldn't have the right number.

Yeah, Asus only. Each manufacturer has their own process and usually require receipt scan and is manually checked.

Interestingly enough, AMD is claiming only their cards support Async Compute for the DX12 path for Hitman:

http://www.pureoverclock.com/2016/02/hitman-taking-a-contract-on-asynchronous-shaders/

AMD:
Hitman will leverage unique DX12 hardware found in only AMD Radeon GPUs—called asynchronous compute engines—to handle heavier workloads and better image quality without compromising performance. PC gamers may have heard of asynchronous compute already, and Hitman demonstrates the best implementation of this exciting technology yet. By unlocking performance in GPUs and processors that couldn’t be touched in DirectX 11, gamers can get new performance out of the hardware they already own.

Could be mostly marketing, or it could be meaningful. Gotta wait for the benchmarks I suppose.

I found a leaked photo of the comparison of Nvidia Hairworks so I'm hoping this runs better than this

Man the eyebrow hair looks so much better

 

[TheOMan]

Is there a way if I can find out if this will apply to the Nvidia M4000?

 

[Spirited]

Well that means they will be quite cheap in the BST thread, pretty nice.

Xfire 290s, let's go!

 

[Hey Im Patrick]

Hmm I'll be getting a 390 soon. Hopefully the local shops here will include the game :|

 

[CraigerGamer]

Bought my 390 yesterday. Wonder if Amazon will sneak in a code for me?

 

[AppleMIX]

Curious about this too.

 

[tensuke]

Final Fantasy XV next year

If they bundle XV with a pascal gpu...hnnnnghhhh

 

[Scratch]

i ordered my gtx 970 from amazon a few days ago and called them regarding the promotion. as far as i can tell, they were happy to change the promotion from TR to the Division.

 

[kuYuri]

Wait until the 17th. You'll just get a Tomb Raider code if you buy an Nividia card now from all retailers.

 

[soulassssns]

Has anyone purchased grahics cards from Jet.com?
Do they participate in these promotions as well?

 

[longdi]

The Division will also be bundled with Logitech G series mechanical keyboards.
Best time to get one and the new G810 looks classy if you are not into those 'gamer' looks

 

[Flandy]

I don't think I've actually ever paid full price for a AAA game on PC since I built mine. Everything is bundled so I get it for half off day 1 :lol

 

[tailDASHeF]

What is to stop someone from buying a GTX 970/980/Ti, redeeming the code, and then returning the card later?

 

[Mifec]

If they bundle XV with a pascal gpu...hnnnnghhhh

With their Ti model that I'm waiting for hopefully

Why nvidia is attatching their name to a game that runs very poorly on their hardware is confusing

I wouldn't say poorly. It runs well, AMD cards just trend a bit higher on that game.

This got me good. Well done.

Any word on VXAO support?

 

[texhnolyze]

So, uh.. where's the source?

 

[Syriel]

That would be odd since AMD is the promo partner for Hitman.

 

[10k]

He's trying to get the right angle to snap a picture of his ass.

 

[mr2xxx]

Sweet this means people will probably be selling their Division code for $30

My first thought.

 

[Syriel]

I can be the source for the Hitman/AMD partnership if needed. The Hitman embargo is long over.

I had thought that was well known.

Square was using AMD PCs to demo Hitman at its press events. At the last round of demo events, AMD PR was also present, highlighting AMD hardware and talking about the partnership.

I don't know which specific cards are covered, but Hitman + AMD is certainly a promo thing.

Ill def take that bet. Ill take amd as the faster in both titles when not cpu limited

 

[madjoki]

This for Hitman at least. Maybe?

It was leaked by Sweclockers before being deleted. Begins on 16th of this month according to same site.

http://gamegpu.com/images/remote/ht...om_Clancys_The_Division_Beta_-test-d_1920.jpg

This is really ridiculous considering it's an Ubisoft title and Nvidia sponsored. At least they have their SLI profile good to go I guess?

 

[Mufausa The 3rd]

Anyone wanna tell me where I can get these Nvidia promo codes for cheap please? I'd love to buy the Division for $20-30

 

[kuYuri]

I have sources that I can't post. You'll see it officially announced in next few days.

Check the buy sell trade thread here in gaming community. It's stickied.

 

[slapnuts]

Just a heads up.

Starting February 17th 2016, The Division will be bundled with GTX 970, 980, and 980 Ti cards, along with 970M or above notebooks/laptops.

Hitman will be bundled with R9 390/390X GPUs and FX 6000 and 8000 series processors.

The Division and Hitman codes on the cheap for everyone!

Source incoming.

Thanks for the heads up.

 

[Netherscourge]

IMHO, no. Wait for Pascal.
Unless you're content with 1080p gaming with ever decreasing settings.

And I say that as a proud owner of 970.

Pascal might be delayed to 2017.

 

[VolticArchangel]

It's almost a given that nVidia will sponsor all major Ubi releases and have them use GameWorks. What's interesting is how Square is handling business. Hitman & Deus Ex MD are AMD sponsored (GPUOpen most probably?) and RoTR, which was previously full AMD sponsored, just went nVidia as well. Pure Hair (in house solution based on a precursor that was TressFX) and HBAO+ from nVidia.

 

[Tovarisc]

Wild Reddit rumors appear, alleged Nvidia employee says that there won't be game bundles after RoTR if it doesn't do really well because apparently Nvidia ran out of cash, or something.

"The money in our tables for game promotions have run out, we need to maximize our profits with RotTR in order to add another promotion."

What promo? Handing out closed beta keys and saying GTX970 will rock in beta?

They have not run out of bucks just yet. But no doubt those things cost money.
