Batman: Arkham Origins bundled with Nvidia cards

If this goes in conjunction with Splinter Cell inclusion then it's a nice little duo for potential buyers. It's definitely more fresh than AMD's versatile, yet stale selection of inclusions. Either way, it's nice to see Nvidia doing more with bundles in the face of AMD's very large bundle campaign over the past year. Consumers win no matter what card(s) they buy!

Didn't Arkham City and Arkham Asylum have those?

TXAA didn't exist until this year, but yes, PhysX was included.

And by the way, looks like Splinter Cell has been dumped for Origins:

Knew this was going to happen.. I already have this game on pre-order, as I'm a big fan of the Arkham series..

Can't wait to see what new PhysX effects they have in the game, although the article mentioned some kind of environmental snow effect..

I bet the game will also have tessellation on the snow like Assassin's Creed III did..

Nice, this means I can get the game dirt cheap off ebay or forums with all the codes that will be getting sold everywhere.

Good on Nvidia. Looks like a fun game and I'm sure bundling Batman with their cards will increase sales.

hmm.. nice, just about to buy a card was having a hard time deciding on what card I wanted to go with.
Now I can look at the cards with in mind that about $40 of the price of the card would go towards B:AC as I was looking to get that anyway

At least this is better for me then splinter cell(which I probably would not play)

(and no the bundled game was not part of the criteria, just looking at cards them selves)

Nice! I was on the look-out for a brand new GPU. This will be on top of my to buy list, better save up some more money just in case! Also a fan of the Batman series.

Nice. Bundled games are always a bonus, especially games like this.

It's a good offer .. but keep in mind in AMD offer you can keep the code and claim later when more appealing games are available .. you don't have to go to today's bundle as is it ..

Nice, I was looking to get Batman Arkham Origins along with a new video card for my new build. I'm holding out to see what AMD has in store with Hawaii on 9/23/13, but this definitely puts a plus in Nvidia's favor if AMD does not wow me with Hawaii. I'm definitely glad to see Batman instead of Splinter Cell.

Ah yep, too bad. Getting more than 1 game would have been nice.
