NVIDIA Launches ‘Pick Your Path’ Promotion Featuring Ubisoft Titles, New GeForce Driver Supporting CoD: Advanced Warfare

Last week, we took a look at a couple of upcoming games infused with NVIDIA’s GameWorks technologies. It’s been clear as day that NVIDIA’s proud of what it brings to games, and so it couldn’t be happier to talk about it. But now, the company’s wanting to give you a taste, and is doing so this holiday season for anyone who purchases a GeForce GTX 970 or 980, 780 or 780 Ti, or a notebook with a 970M or 980M.

Given NVIDIA’s super-tight relationship with Ubisoft, I’m sure the available games will come as no surprise: Far Cry 4, Assassin’s Creed: Unity, and The Crew. Here’s what NVIDIA has to say about the graphical goodies these game include:

“Assassin’s Creed Unity, the latest installment in Ubisoft’s most successful franchise, will feature HBAO+, TXAA, PCSS and tessellation technologies which allow Ubisoft to realistically render the 16th century game environments, which are set in Paris during the French Revolution.

Another legendary game series getting a massively visual and technology upgrade is Far Cry 4. In addition to HBAO+, TXAA, PCSS and enhanced 4K support, Far Cry 4 also integrates NVIDIA Godrays technology so gamers can feel the sun beating down in the Himalayas, and NVIDIA HairWorks, for rendering the realistic, but deadly adversaries that will be encountered in the game.

And finally, if horsepower, engines and pound per cubic feet rev your receptors more, then The Crew, the ultimate street racing game ever made, may be just the ticket you’ve been waiting for. Motoring through the bustling streets of New York City and Los Angeles, cruising down sunny Miami Beach or trekking through the plateaus of Monument Valley never looked so superb thanks in part to the integration of HBAO+ and TXAA technologies– all rendered in breathtaking 4K. The Crew even comes with an Android companion app that lets you tinker with your ride before playing it live, chat remotely, browse friend profiles, and send your crew on jobs – all from the road.”

I don’t know about you guys, but I think these games look incredible. If you want to snatch one up, and are in need of a new high-end NVIDIA GPU, check out the official landing page.

Also, just in time for the release of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (ignoring the Day Zero yesterday), NVIDIA’s released a brand-new driver optimized for it. It’s not entirely clear if AW support is the only thing the new driver brings, but it looks like that unless you’ll be playing that particular game, you’ll be safe to hold off for the next GeForce release.
