Just having the code won't do you much good anyway:

https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/geforce/campaigns/rtx-bundle/terms-conditions/

Qualifying graphics cards and desktops: GeForce RTX 3090, GeForce RTX 3090 Desktop, GeForce RTX 3080, GeForce RTX 3080 desktop. Game must be redeemed with qualifying graphics card installed.

You will miss out.

Pretty sure the promo ends tomorrow, you have to have received your card by then and redeemed by end of November.

Pay up front, wait for months, lose your game code while you wait.

Nvidia FTW!

I hope not. I'm going to enquire on twitter and see what they say. If I lose out I'm probably going to cancel my order. Getting Watch Dogs for free was what helped me decide if should upgrade my PC or not.

What Nvidia should do is the decent thing and just say that whenever you get your card, you send us your proof of purchase which shows you paid for it before a certain date etc and we will email you a code.

Job done.

I think that is scaremongering it clearly says on the NVidea page that its for orders placed between 17th September and 29th October, not orders received before.

The only limitations should currently be for the 29th November cut off, and OC only getting enough codes for the first 1000 orders, @Gibbo can you confirm ?

Many, many people look like they're going to be scammed out of these codes due to technicalities due to launch delays, through no fault of their own. Which is really lame in my opinion.

I think it's disappointing that an early purchase doesn't guarantee a code, especially when it wasn't clear at the outset.

Nvidia ended to promotion early due to high demand of the cards. I got my 3090 the day after release and I'm still waiting for my code.

Well, Nvidia might respond to the AMD release, with a better free game (Watchdog reviews look a bit poor to me) , maybe even a selection from a choice of three games, maybe a two game giveaway code... That new offer might appear in the next few days.

Nvidia: our GPU comes with a $60game

Also Nvidia: Not really, sucker!

Nvidia respond....with what? More cards that people can't buy? More wait times? Can't wait!

DurtyDean · 29 Oct 2020 at 06:22

For the people with the 3070 cards, if we buy and it dispatches today do you reckon we will get one?

MR PAUL CLARK · 29 Oct 2020 at 06:40

You ain't getting a 3070 today

FireTwo · 29 Oct 2020 at 06:43

Got my code emailed to me on dispatch

all seems good apart from I couldn’t redeem it until I had the card installed.

3070 is not included in the campaign.
