NVidia is gearing up in a big way for E3, with a huge social media style giveaway that includes some limited edition USB GeForce drives along with GeForce 1080TI cards, Oculus Rift Headsets, and G-Sync Monitors. Subscribers to the GeForce YouTube channel can leave a #GameReady comment on any E3 2017 video for a chance to win....
NVidia has teamed up with Ubisoft to offer two of Ubisoft's upcoming releases for free to anyone that purchases a GeForce 1070, a GeForce 1080, or a GeForce equipped gaming system for the near future. The promotion which launched on February 1st is called the "Prepare for Battle Bundle" and will get you geared up with two of this spring's upcoming co-op games.
Amid the flurry of E3 information, Nvidia dribbled out a quiet bit of news regarding console quality games and its SHIELD ecosystem. By the nebulous date of "coming soon", both Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel will be available for Nvidia Shield TV and Nvidia Shield Tablet, co-op (largely) intact!
Nvidia has really been pushing its Shield brand as a way to get your game on. We're not talking about flinging birds or ninjaing fruit, either, we're talking real games. Case in point: Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is now available for Nvidia Shield Android TV, and yeah, it's got co-op!
Local co-op is great. You get to sit down with friends, play some lag-free games, and save your best curses for online co-op. The catch is that you have to haul everybody over to your place to get said gaming sessions going. Worse still, you usually have to put on pants for those sessions, and that's just not right. Good thing Nvidia is working on something that might fix that limitation.
Well all have a good amount of electronic clutter. PlayStation Vitas, cell phones, iPads, Android tablets and other gaming devices and gadgets litter our desks. Each device runs on a battery and every time we drain it, we charge them. But there are times when we simply can't get to a wall outlet, and while most devices are using USB connections for charging, some devices can't charge from a standard USB port on a computer or laptop. Enter the Anker Astro3 battery featuring three USB ports capable of charging just about any device and then some.
Let’s be honest, your PC could probably be upgraded. Whether you’re rocking a top of the line rig, or your scrapping together from the ground up, the thought of a new video card is tempting. Well, the folks at Nvidia are making your decision a little easier by offering some sweet promos with their most popular cards.
The NVIDIA Shield went up for pre-order just a few weeks ago. The Android powered controller is a unique take on mobile gaming, giving players two distinct ways to play games on the go. The device features a 5" Tegra 4 powered Android screen matched with a fully functional gaming controller. But you aren't limited to just Android games on this device - you can stream games from Steam.
In about a month from now, new Tegra 3 devices will be announced, in which Borderlands 2 is said to make a grand appearance in the Tegra Zone.
Want to see what the three player co-op Trine 2 looks like in 3D but don't have the game or 3D hardware required to do so? NVidia has you covered with an entire gallery of 3D shots of the game viewable with simple Red/Blue glasses amongst other methods. If you've played Trine or the Trine 2 beta you know the game is ripe for 3D support, with a rich multi-layered world that is full of colors it simply comes to life in 3D.
