Only the relatively low sales volume GTX 1070/1080 and Titan X would be unaffected. When they are deciding between similar cards. This can help push more people to the AMD platform. tied the game to the specific hardware is simply dumb because that would prevent people from upgrading even to their own future card.īut on another forum i see people get angry because they cannot sell those free stuff that they get when purchasing the product.ġ9245222 said:AMD should announce that you can still sell/gift unused codes. after that the game will be tied to you steam or uplay account (in this case it will be uplay). I think they only made that hardware check when redeeming the code for the first time. I guess you're screwed if you have to reinstall the game for some reason in this scenario as the lockdown has other repercussions beyond just making it so you can only have one copy.
#Nvidia geforce now redeem upgrade
(OR you just upgrade to AMD 'cause they had a card that was better for you this time around.) and say you show customer loyalty and buy another NVidia card, or yours bites the dust, and the replacement obviously has a different serial. Say you upgrade your GPU at a later date.
#Nvidia geforce now redeem install
However unsavory this new process is to consumers, Nvidia stands to win on all fronts by possibly saving some money on unredeemed game offers (kind of like a rebate) and forcing consumers to install and use GeForce Experience to cash in on their free game.Īlthough Nvidia’s new coupon redemption process appears to be intended to stop code resellers, those with less-malicious intent will have to find a new way to gift unused codes to their friends.ġ9244211 said:I see another issue. The new verification aspect of the game code redemption process also makes the offers feel more like mail-in rebates, where the inconvenience of registration and redemption could deter some from bothering at all. Making redemption more difficult could result in fewer copies of these games in the wild. I usually give them away to friends or email the codes to colleagues, at no charge, in an effort not to let a good game go to waste. As a system builder, I find that I have many extra game codes laying around when I have an order to fulfill and Nvidia is offering a free game. Nvidia’s crackdown on game code resellers seems to have positive intent, but it could have negative consequences, at least, for consumers.
