FarCry 2 bundles
Long time first time.

The information coming from retail is that FarCry 2 can be bundled with all NVIDIA 260 and 280 video cards without any charges to the card makers. If you are planning on buying a GTX 260 or 280, I would wait just a little bit.

Sweet, Though I'm guessing this means FC2 is also NV optimized like Crysis is.

Far Cry 2 is at the top of the list of the games I want to get, along with a GTX280 for Workstation 2.

If this rumor does turn-out to be true then I'll be able to kill two birds with one stone, per se.

Why would the publishing house give away the game for free? Someone -Nvidia - has to be subsidizing this, if it's true.

Funny since ATI just released their DX10.1 hotfix for Far Cry 2 for the 4800 series.

That's an easy one... deny the card once it hits your home/work. Re-order new one and you're done.

It would be awesome if this turns out to be true. Far Cry 2 is probably going to make me upgrade my vid card as it is so I might as well buy the card and the game as one package.

That would have to be one heck of a bill but so long as it get people buying nVidia cards.

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

Any chance at all that this bundle will end up applying to cards got through EVGA's step-up program?

Not likely. I've never seen a step-up card come with a game. But that could change ... and I haven't been watching every single card that EVGA offers via stepup since they started, so...

Preliminary benchmarks showed the 4870 performing very well in the game, should be fine .
