You will need to buy a GeForce GTX 660 or better to qualify, offer starts tomorrow.

They should add Warframe goodies to the F2P bundle. But even then, the amd bundles are still ahead in terms of value.
I remember my first gpu, nvidia 5700 ultra. It came with two cd wallets full of games and extras , one of which was TES morrowind (game of the year edt). I miss the days when there was value added to a product. No more toys in your cereal box either, just a quiz on the outside.

Actually many people thought it was quite a poor showing compared to AMD’s current Never Settle: Reloaded promotional campaign, which bundles up to six free complete games.

You've got that right about it being a poor showing when compared to the equivalent offer from AMD. I bought an XFX 7970 DD/Black from Aria last month and got codes for:

• Bioshock Infinite
• Crysis 3
• Sleeping Dogs (which unfortunately I'd already bought)
• Hitman: Absolution
• Far Cry 3
• Medal of Honor: Warfighter
• Nexuiz

and if this is to believed then I can also look forward to a code for Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon popping into my inbox next month. :D

No doubt some will say that the equivalent Geforce might be technically better (that last picture in the article looks pretty cool), but for value-for-money I'm pretty happy defecting to the "red team" on this occasion.

Well that really puts the nail into the coffin of the 650 Boost.

An extra £5 gets you 192 more cores, double the free2play voucher and Metro: Last Light.

Just remember a lot of the free to play stuff given with the Nvidia doesn't apply to Europe, so instead in the likes of PlanetSide 2 - European players didn't get SC (station Cash) but rubbish camo's in game, for one character :/ a load of jip if you ask me.
AMD making their graphics card upgrades very much value for money with these bundles, even if I detest their flaky software/drivers.

I'd just like to point out my laptop has a dual ATI gpu setup. A (relatively) high powered core is used when gaming and a low powered one when browsing and such. It's ****ing awful and causes no end of problems. Not to mention the EPIC heat even from the low powered chip.

Scan now have this Nvidia offer up on their website.

PC Specs for Metro: Last Light have now been published

Nvidia follow the AMD strategy, but well done.
