NVIDIA To Give Away Diablo IV with New GeForce RTX Purchases

US retailer Best Buy inadvertently revealed NVIDIA's next big GeForce game bundle. Team Green is planning to give away the hotly anticipated action RPG "Diablo IV." The "Rise Against Evil" bundle will see select models of NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics cards include coupons to the game. At this point we don't know which specific graphics card models are eligible for the $70 game, but that it will be limited to participating retailers, and in select regions.

Isn't that true for any product in any segment at any time?

The launch day version is always the worst, most expensive version. Over time, the product is improved/fixed/patched/tuned and discounts/incentives get applied. You're paying a premium on launch day for stuff like bragging rights and satisfying your impatience, and if you don't understand that then you do now and this has been an educational experience that you can carry forward into future purchasing decision.

Unless we're talking about limited-number collectibles that's just the way all product launches have been since far longer than you or I have existed.

tf you're talking about? It hasn't been years or months, months with a S, it's been less than a month since the 4070 launched.

They screwed you over no doubt, but he's right, it happens all the time. Getting things right at launch is always a bad idea.

Hopefully the 4060 TI comes with this. My dad's needed a GPU for a while now and his birthday is coming up at the end of next month. He still only uses a 1080p screen and at $450 that'd be kind of nice to for me to keep D4.

Sweet! Means that I'll be able to get a key for $30 on launch.

And I will hereby guilt you even further lol. You should feel bad for a million other reasons too. Nvidia specializes in screwing customers and the overall GPU market. It seems even bad press is not stopping customers from buying their cards.

Just remember the people who were buying 3090 ti's for 2k this time last year that now get beat out by the $800 4070 TI with FG on.

Ask day one 7800X3D adopters how they feel. AMD added a Jedi Survivor promotion to it two or three weeks after launch, and no, it wasn't retroactive (though some retailers will cave and give you a key if you complain enough). The lesson: Don't cave to fomo. Don't buy hardware on day one. Especially given the current market conditions where nothing is selling out anymore.

It's normal for an upper midrange new generation GPU to beat the Flagship from the previous generation in performance. This happens regularly with new generation upper midrange GPUs. Anyone that is going to buy an Ada Flagship 4090 Ti for a trucklload of money knows that the RTX 5080 will beat it in performance for less money. Gamers that buy Flagship GPUs are usually gaming at 4K and gaming at 4K is a money pit. Always has been and always will be imo.

Yeah, like with those, "how do I futureproof my 4K gaming rig" threads.
You don't... you'll be upgrading to the halo every gen or every other gen, and once 8K gaming comes along, it'll be the same thing.

Agreed. I know my GPU's (There are none.:roll:) limits and I hope the 4090 will stay relevant for a while. Maybe 6k will be the new 1440p?

Yeah, 4090 runs everything in native 4k until you turn on DLAA and RTX. Will the 5090 with GDDR7 even be the 4k end game card?

A year ago you could get a rx6950xt for half that price and practically match it. Raytracing is one tier below on amd but still wasn't fully adopted by then anyways. It still is gimmicky even today. 4070ti also only artificially matches the 3090ti in current games, as it has half of the vram. But either way, you are comparing a badly priced card to a horribly priced one. 3090ti was no price performance king. Remember that a 1070ti card used to be 400 dollars in 2017, now a 4070ti is 800. And last gen a 3070ti was 600. Nvidia just continues to push the limits. AMD is not innocent here either as they just been following Nvidia and pricing to match them.
