Buy Nvidia graphics card, get Arkham Asylum free

by Griffin McElroy on Aug 22nd 2009 1:00AM

If you're planning on beefing up your compy's visual capabilities any time soon, you might want to turn your attention to this fairly amazing offer: If you buy a graphics card containing Nvidia's GeForce GTX 260, GeForce GTX 275 or GeForce GTX 285, then you'll get a coupon for a free download of the PC version of Batman: Arkham Asylum.

This partnership between Nvidia and Eidos isn't that surprising -- the PC version of Rocksteady's surprisingly wonderful stealth-action title was delayed to September 15 to allow for the implementation of Nvidia's PhysX technology. However, interestingly enough, Bruce Wayne is actually a 30 percent stockholder in AMD. Scan-da-lous.

I literally just built my own computer a week ago for about $750, and it is sweet.

Basically got a top-o-the-line (minus a few lines) for a bargain price, imo. Would have gotten it for even cheaper if I hadn't also gotten a new mouse and keyboard with it.

anyway, I got all my parts on Newegg. Go there, do some research, have a preexisting budget.

In a related story, I'm pissed because I got Stormrise with my graphics card. Haven't played it yet, but I hear it's a steaming pile.

Hey, thanks.
And yeah i've been wanting to get a gaming laptop or computer.
I can reuse my dvd drive, hardrive, moniter, and ram.
All i need to do is get a motherboard, graphics card...
if it doesn't sound like i know what i'm talking about, i don't. lol

I built mine last black Friday for $800 and I am very happy with it.
Specs:
Q6600 @ 3.2GHz
ATi 4850 1GB
Asus P5Q-Pro Mobo
4GB OCZ Reaper RAM
Corsair 450VX PSU( I know, too small lol for cross fire, but it works good)
WD AAKS 640GB HDD
Antec 900 Case

Other things like dvd, card reader etc..

I can run all my games at max at good framerates. But Im only at 1280*1024 lol

You really need more than a 450W PSU.......shouldn't skimp on the PSU, even though it seems unimportant.

I miss recess..............

i miss it sometimes

i was gonna get it on 360, but i have to get a new graphics card anyway

I figured something like this would happen. In Arkham Asylum it requires you to have an Nvidia card to enable Anti-Aliasing. That is some straight up BS. (Demo anyway) I'm surprised people aren't making a big deal about this. I guess because you can just force it in drivers, but not everyone knows this. It's an attempt to make it look better on nvidia cards and people who don't know any better will buy them instead. What a dirty trick, it reminds me of Monster Cable. Anyway the first thing I said when I saw it was someone paid someone a lot of money.

Could it also be because they're using Nvidia's PhysX technology which, now because Nvidia stopped selling PhysX cards, ATI card owners can't run certain options.
