NVIDIA & Ubisoft Form PC Gaming Alliance For This Fall’s Hottest Games

[TALHA]

At GamesCom in Cologne, Germany, Ubisoft and NVIDIA have announced a gaming alliance that will see the two firms bolster Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag, Splinter Cell Blacklist, and Watch_Dogs with NVIDIA-developed technologies and features, and other PC-exclusive enhancements like DirectX 11-powered Tessellation.

The first Ubisoft title to benefit from this alliance is Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Blacklist, which launches worldwide this week with NVIDIA TXAA, NVIDIA HBAO+, and full support for NVIDIA SLI, the smoothest and fastest multi-GPU solution available.

Are theses just going to be one at a time then or all together like amd never settle bundle 

[ComputerNoob]

why has @CoolBeans liked this? He is an amd fanboy..

[bluedyguard]

3/13, better luck next year.

[TERAFLOP]

Only 1 game per bundle ? huh I never settle.

[Skanic]

And watch dogs is in the AMD Never settle forever as well as blacklist

I like both sides, just Intel and Nvidea have nothing to offer that interests me except for shield., and AMD is cheap for roughly the same performance.

This is deceiving, since when is DX11 Tessellation an Nvidia feature ? go home Nvidia you're drunk !

and sometimes even better, look at the 7950/7970

I gave away my free copy of splinter cell because of uplay requirements. Then the guy I gave it away to gave it away because of the uplay requirements.

Thumbs up ubisoft.

I feel that there's an inverse relationship between EA and Ubisoft.  They are truly the "anti-version" of each other.  Hopefully one day they don't collide and convert into pure energy.

Read the title and I thought NVIDIA would bundle those 3 games along with their 700 series. I guess I'll still be sticking with the red team.

It says other PC-exclusive enhancements like DirectX 11-powered Tessellation, not Nvidia exclusive, but Nvidia cards are better for it. 

 

I would like it if this helped get another game or two bundle with Nvidia cards. That would help spice things up. 

[EChondo]

I personally don't like the bundle.

AC4 and Splinter Cell have been dead to me as a series since the past two iterations and Watchdogs is the only one I would bother getting.

Too bad Nvidia couldn't get The Division and Watchdogs in one bundle, would have been an awesome package, or even The Crew

I know this is a bit off topic but I would buy a new GPU in a heartbeat of they included these games;

1. GTA V

2. The Division

3. Destiny

4. Witcher 3

5. The Crew

6. Rainbow Six: Patriots

I already know that AMD will most likely have some of these, probably not in the newest bundle, but possibly the one after.

Of course this is my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt.

[Skanic]

The coolest thing with the new never settle bundle imo is that you can choose each game you want.

Splinter Cell Blacklist is rather fun. You should give it a shot if you have the opportunity to play it.

That's a ridiculous statement, Tessellation is a DX-11 feature, it doesn't favor AMD or Nvidia, if anyone tells you otherwise they're trying to sell you something, perhaps green graphics cards...

Nvidia's 400 series GPU's were significantly better than AMD's 5000 series for Tessellation, there are plenty of benchmarks, particularly Unigene, and reviews out there that say so. The 500 series from Nvidia was still better the AMD's 6000 series but the gap narrowed alot and now it's a much more even affair now between the 600 and 7000 series cards. 

 

I admit I was wrong saying that Nvidia cards are better as it's much more even now, but not so long ago that wasn't true.

Tessellation is pretty much the only reason the 6000 series even exists, in fact the actually perform worse than 5000 series in some cases because of tessellation.

I burst out laughing like a lunatic...

See you get me :p
