The holiday season is almost upon us, and many of you may well be contemplating the next big step in gaming: Virtual Reality. Some may already be blessed with a system more than up to the substantial requirements of VR, but realistically alongside one of the new VR solutions a new graphics card could well be on the cards. Thankfully this holiday NVIDIA and HTC VIVE are coming together to add a touch more value to your entry into VR, and in the process get you started with three VR games.
NVIDIA's GeForce GTX HTC Vive Bundle deal is simple: pick up an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 180, GTX 1070 or GTX 1060 alongside an HTC VIVE from any participating retailer and you'll also be eligible for the following three free games:
- Raw Data: from Survios, is one of the most immersive and exciting Virtual Reality games available. Built from the ground up for VR, Raw Data’s action combat gameplay, intuitive controls, challenging enemies, and sci-fi atmosphere will immerse you within the surreal environments of Eden Corp. Go solo or team up and become the adrenaline-charged heroes of your own futuristic technothriller.
- Sports Bar VR: (also known as Pool Nation VR) from Cherry Pop Games and Perilous Orbit, is the coolest VR space on the VIVE. Hangout at the air hockey tables, shoot some pool, throw a few rounds of darts, take part in the time-honoured pastime of throwing empty beer bottles against the wall... and you won’t have to clean up the mess!
- Serious Sam VR: The Last Hope, from Croteam, lets you become Serious Sam and lets you fight Mental's alien hordes with your own two hands. You will step into the shoes of the Earth Defense Force's greatest hero in this unique VR simulation based on Sam Stone's own log files from his time as captain of the Battlecruiser Saratoga. Experience the missions that turned Captain Stone into the legend that he is today.

NVIDIA's Pascal GPU architecture incorporates many features which make it ideal for the current generation of Virtual Reality hardware and software. This includes NVIDIA VRWorks, a comprehensive suite of tools which developers can use to improve the immersive nature of their experience and substantially reduce overall development time, as well as make the very best use of NVIDIA graphics. It all amounts to a compelling argument for combining their hardware with your Virtual Reality platform of choice.
This offer runs from December 12th through to January 31st or while stocks last. For more information, including redemption instructions, visit http://www.geforce.com/hardware/10series/htc-vive-bundle.
