Not quite on par with AMD's Never Settle program, but better than nothing

Advanced Micro Devices will probably maintain its advantage in the field of free game bundling, but NVIDIA isn't completely passive in this area, as we've just seen.

As many might already know, AMD ships one, two or three games for free with some of its Radeon-series graphics cards, especially the high-end ones.

NVIDIA doesn't have a “Never Settle Forever” of its own, but it does occasionally add a game to its lineup.

That's what just happened. The Santa Clara, California-based company has begun to ship, for free, copies of Ubistoft's Watch Dogs game.

So if you're in the market for a GeForce GTX 600 series (690, 680, 670, 660 Ti and 660), 700 Series (780 Ti, 780, 770, 760) or GeForce GTX Titan board, you're in luck.

Watch Dogs, whose trailer was launched just a few weeks ago, chronicles the trials of a hacker seeking justice for his family's murders. The game makes full use of NVIDIA's TXAA and HBAO+ technology for interactive, immersive visuals.

Have fun controlling traffic lights, hacking security cameras and monitoring, hacking everyone nearby.

As far as game bundles go, it's not bad at all, if somewhat limited compared to AMD's offers. I wonder if the delayed GeForce GTX Titan Z will get more than one game though.
