Nvidia has just announced that its new GeForce 650 or higher graphics cards will come with special in-game money for free-to-play titles like Hawken, World of Tanks, or Planetside 2, as part of a brand new campaign to promote upgrades among gamers who enjoy online experiences.

Free-to-play PC titles are beginning to deliver some high-quality experiences both in terms of gameplay and in terms of visuals, as the developers can squeeze out more power and implement better looking tech into their games.

Nvidia has decided to capitalize on this new niche and has confirmed that all GeForce 650 graphics cards or higher will come with special vouchers good for in-game benefits inside Hawken, World Of Tanks, or Planetside 2.

More specifically, if someone gets a GeForce 650 or 650 Ti, they'll get a World of Tanks 2050 Gold & 1 Month Premium (worth $25/€25), a Planetside 2 - Gear Up pack (worth $25/€25) that includes Infantry Camo, Weapon Camo, Exclusive Gun, 7 Day XP Boost, 7 Day Resource Boost equivalent to 2500 Station Cash, and a Hawken 3600 Meteor Credit (worth $25/€25).

If they get a GeForce GTX 660 or higher, they'll get a World of Tanks 7500 Gold & 1 Month Premium (worth $50/€50), Planetside 2 - Premium Gear Up pack (worth $50/€50) that includes Infantry Camo, Weapon Camo, Vehicle Camo, Exclusive Gun, 7 Day Squad XP Boost, 7 Day Squad Resource Boost, 7 Day XP Boost, 7 Day Resource Boost equivalent to 5000 Station Cash, and a Hawken 7200 Meteor Credit (worth $50/€50).

Each of these online games boast special improvements when running on Nvidia graphics cards, as World of Tanks enables 3D Vision, while both Hawken and Planetside 2 have PhysX support, meaning more particle effects and better-looking explosions.
