  • Now, this does make it tempting to go ahead and upgrade my GPU a bit earlier than expected, because I want to buy this digitally on Xbox One anyway and it's £50. Will need to check if this offer includes UK of course. EDIT: Just checked and it is indeed in the UK - Thing is I was going to buy a GTX 1060, so really it's costing me £100 more to go to the 1070 instead of the 1060 when you factor in the £50 I would have spent on gears anyway
  • I wish Nvidia would bundle this with the GTX 1060 as well, since that's the most I'm willing to buy at this point.
     
  • In the past they've done 2 x games with x70 and x80 cards and a single free game with the x60 cards but looks like that might not happen until down the line
  • What card do you have now?
  • A GTX 660. A 1060 would already be a massive upgrade over it and I'm only playing at 1080p and I don't really mind lowering some visual settings. A 1070 or 1080 cost WAYYY too much than what I'm willing to spend.
  • Gtx 1060 can easily play all games in ultra setting in full hd settings
  • Of course. I didn't say that it couldn't in the first place, I just meant that I wouldn't mind dropping down Image Quality settings to get smooth gameplay.
  • Just make sure to get a dual fan 1060. The single fan ones run hot.
  • Me too. I don't need the top tier card. I just want something that is better than what I currently have with great performance at a good price.
  • Dagnamitt!!! I just bought a gtx1080 a week ago. This suck balls
  • Bet you're loving that useless in game credit they've been giving away though right? lol
  • I sniped Doom and witcher trilogy for $30 each, so I'm not crushed. ;)
  • i didnt even redeem the paladin thing. the thing looks stupid just like overwatch.
  • Great offer!
  • Any chance of gears copy being used on both Xbox and pc?
  • My EVGA NVidia GT 780 SC ACX died 2 weeks ago...it is covered under my 3 year warranty, for about 5 more months. Looks like I'll be getting another 780. One day....when my bank accound agrees, I will join in on the 1080 Snowboarding fun!
  • Time to break open the piggy bank! *destoys piggy bank with hammer* *Stares at contents* Awwww... I don't even have enough here to buy a new piggy bank. Posted via the Windows Central App for Android
  • No love for 1060. Just bought the amp! edition from Zotac. :(
