Buy a NVIDIA card, get Splinter Cell: Blacklist for free

More On: Splinter Cell: Blacklist
NVIDIA's got some pretty swanky cards lately, but they have a deal that will make them a lot better. For a limited time, you'll be able to get Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist for free with a purchase of select cards. Coming out August 20th, you'll be treated to a free copy of the Deluxe Edition for the PC.

The following cards are eligible for the offer:
  • GeForce GTX 660
  • GeForce GTX 660 Ti
  • GeForce GTX 670
  • GeForce GTX 680
  • GeForce GTX 760
  • GeForce GTX 770
  • GeForce GTX 780
It seems their highest end card, the Titan, is missing from the list. 

At E3, I was sitting in a NVIDIA presentation and Blacklist was demonstrated at the event. They showed off some of the tech that's going to shine on NVIDIA cards such as tessellation and TXAA. I was actually kind of surprised at how much I am looking forward to it after what was shown at E3.

You can get more information about the offer here and as well as a list of places where you can buy a card for the promotion.
