Batman Arkham Origin bundle with Nvidia GTX Cards

When AMD introduced massive Game Bundles with their 7000 series GPUs for desktop, it gave a huge boost to their sales compared to Nvidia and many gamers were pleased by this move of AMD. Now Nvidia has decided to do the same by teaming up with the game publishers and bundling games with their GPUs their new tactic is the Batman Arkham Origins which will be bundled with their seleced GTX GPUs.


We know that Warner Bros has already released two Batman games Batman Arkham Asylum and Batman Arkham City in conjunction with Nvidia in the past. They will do the same with the new Batman Origins which is in the final stages of development by Warner Bros Games Montréal and Interactive Entertainment.

Nvidia wont bundle it with their new series instead they have decided to bundle this game with their GPU that are already in the market. Batman Origins will be bundled with GTX 780, 770, 760, 680, 670, 660Ti and 660 (desktop). They decided not to bundle it with GTX Titan which is pretty mean as its the most powerful GPU by Nvidia. The reason behind this maybe becuase a person who can afford Titan wont be tempted by game bundle to buy it.


Previous Batman games by Warner Bros had Physx and were Nvidia optimized and it pretty obvious Batman Arkham Origin will also be Nvidia optimized with advnaced Physx effects such as cloth, steam, particles and a new one which is snow. The game will also utlize TXAA Anti-Aliasing and Soft Shadows. They will also bring Gothan alive in the game for better gameplay  and for a better story line. The best feature of the bundle will be that you will be able to stream to game to your Nvidia Shield from you PC. With these improved features of the game and the bundle we can expect it to promote Nvidia GPUs pretty well.

When AMD introduced the bundle they bundled atleast two games with their Mid-End GPUs and upto five games with their High-End GPUs. While Nvidia is bundling only one game with their Mid to High End GPUs. Now lets see if this works out or not. Atleast Nvidia made a move.
