    Question bought a 970 when they originally came out, are the codes just for those buying now.

    I was just wondering if these witcher 3 and batman codes were for those just buying the 970 now or whether the was a way for me to get them?

    Thanks!

    You will probably find it is for new purchases only.

    I received my new 970 today. Got the codes for Batman and Witcher last night... funny thing is I will probably never play neither.

    However, didn't you receive GTA V for free? They were giving that away a couple of weeks ago.

    Witcher 3, but no Batman, was the deal when I bought.

    When I got my first GTX780Ti I went on to the EVGA website, registered and looked around their forums where I found some links for older deals that shouldn't have been available for my newer card but somehow they allowed me to collect on those deals.

    Official word from NVIDIA is "ask the retailer nicely"

    GTA V wasn't an NVIDIA deal that I know of.

    Maybe I'm mistaken then... I'm sure I saw it free with a GPU - maybe ATI... oh well, I ordered it on Amazon today anyway...

    I'm sure you have done, but it would've been retailer-led rather than NVIDIA.
