NVIDIA Announces Pick Your Path Game Title Promotion
NVIDIA and Ubisoft Take PC Gaming to New Heights
This Years Hottest Holiday Titles Available in New Exciting GeForce GTX Pick Your Path Promotion
SANTA CLARA, Calif.Nov. 4, 2014 NVIDIA today announced a new technology PC gaming development partnership with Ubisoft that will bring consumers closer to their games than ever before.
Thanks to the power of NVIDIA GeForce GTX technology, including the just-released GTX 980 and 970 GPUs, this holidays hottest games, Assassins Creed Unity, Far Cry 4 and The Crew, will look simply incredible. By integrating NVIDIAs superior GameWorks technologies, such as HBAO+ for realistic shadows, TXAA for cinema quality smoothness, as well as enhanced 4K support, Ubisoft is delivering cutting-edge content that allow PC gamers to become fully immersed in their gaming environments.
Part of the Pick Your Path promotion which kicks off this week and runs to the end of the year, gamers who purchase a qualifying GeForce GTX GPU, including a GeForce GTX 980, 970, 780 Ti, or 780 graphics card or a notebook with GeForce GTX 980M or 970M get their choice of which title–The Crew, Far Cry 4 or Assassins Creed Unity–to add to their library for free.
NVIDIA has worked hard, hand-in-hand with our development teams, to help provide the best experience for our PC players, said Jean-Francois St.Amour, Lead Graphics Programmer at Ubisoft Montreal. Their support and insight is even more important now, as we make a big technological leap into the next-generation of Assassins Creed games.
Assassins Creed Unity, the latest installment in Ubisofts 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 youve 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.
