NVIDIA announced today that if you upgrade to a GeForce GTX 1070 or 1080 graphics card, system, or laptop, you will get a free digital copy of Watch Dogs 2. Not a bad deal if you were planning on upgrading your video card anyway.

From today, if you upgrade to a GeForce GTX 1070 or 1080 graphics card, system, or laptop, you'll receive a free downloadable copy of Watch Dogs 2, redeemable on Uplay. In addition to delivering the performance to smoothly play Watch Dogs 2, the recommended GeForce GTX 10-Series graphics cards support our vast array of critically acclaimed technologies, giving you the definitive gaming experience, unmatched by any other platform. Specifically, whilst playing Watch Dogs 2 you can make use of Ansel, DSR, HBAO+, HFTS, G-SYNC, GameStream, GeForce Experience Share, PCSS, SLI, Surround, and TXAA.
 
So if I bought a card last week does this mean I'm SOL?
 
I'd love to upgrade to a new card, but I should probably upgrade my CPU, mobo, and memory. Still on Ivy Bridge.
 
I got a copy for buying a 1tb Samsung ssd at Best Buy last week-- they were giving it away to anyway who bought a 500gb or larger Samsung ssd.

Same here.

Didn't play the first one due to the word on the street but I have to say this one is looking pretty cool.
 
I enjoyed the first game, but I didn't buy it. It came free with my GTX 770. Maybe I'll end up with a free copy, if I decide to get a GTX 1070 next year.

My 980 is good enough. Right now, my limiting factor isn't the graphics card, it's the monitor.

Any bundle deals for a 27" IPS G-Sync monitor? Didn't think so.
 
Wasn't the first game criticized for showing awesome graphics in the trailer, ie- in-game footage, but it looked totally different when the game was released?

Yup. Looked awesome, but on release it was stripped down to console graphics on PC. It's a lazy port of a mediocre game although the DLC was pretty good.
 
The first game wasn't good, or was I misinformed? MetaCritic shows it got a user score of 4.7. Why would I want to play Watch Dogs 2?

Me, too. I don't think you're missing much. Dan should have my case delivered by the time Zen's impact on the market, if any, is clear. From what I hear Kaby Lake should be a good but not earth shattering upgrade.

On this specific topic, I hope gaming bundles like this keep gaining in popularity.

As long as other companies don't limited 4k to only new processors, I could live with my Ivy Bridge for a little while longer. Also I don't think the gaming bundles are going anywhere. They've been doing it for what? 15 years now? Started with some B games and such and has led to AAA titles in recent years.

Got The Division with my 970. Watch Dogs with my 770. $75 dollar game coupon for my 650. HAWX 2 with my 460. R6 Vegas 2 with my 9400 GT. Serious Sam with my 7900 GTX. Commandos 3 with my 6800 Vanilla. I'm sure if I look further into my Newegg order history, any decent video card I've bought came with a game. Nvidia must get some kind of deal with Ubisoft or something, cause it's mostly their games nowadays that are given for free.
