Maybe someone else can redeem it.

Ah, that sucks, dude. I was given the code because I purchased a GTX 1080, so perhaps the person redeeming the code has to have a card from the same series? Some news articles state this.

Should I just post the code here (with a few alterations in order to stop bots from nabbing it, of course) for someone to redeem?

I also have a gtx 1080, I tried it with nvidia experience, and it tells me it's a region problem.

Did you bought it in the UK ?

Yep, I both live, and purchased it, in the UK.

Bad luck, man. Just waiting for the rest of the parts to arrive for my first ever build :D

Right, the code is:

ZB?B-FOVI-HK@M-VPO#-RBPW-MSJ&

? = second-to-last letter of 'Shenmue'
@ = ?an Chai
# = first letter of Ryo's surname
& = the homeless man's name contains two of these

You can redeem it using GeForce Experience.

Have fun!

Not sure if it's been claimed and the person hasn't let us know, but the code is in my previous post, with a few alterations to sway the bots ;-)

From what I understand, it's a single that which allows you to decide between For Honour or Ghost Recon: Wildlands. A wider selection would have been nice, but whatever; at least someone will get to enjoy (or at least play) the free game :)

Lucky! I wish I had a 1080. I have a 65" 4k tv and I plainly need to lower settings to run games natively with a 1060.

Well, I was originally going to get a 1070, but I want to go overkill, so I went with the 1080 instead, which just so happened to have gone down in price recently, so it's all good. I've never seen a game running at over 60fps before, so I can't even comprehend what 144fps is going to look like. Playing Dark Souls at 60fps with no Blighttown slow-down is going to feel weird as fuck, I imagine.

Did the code work, Raithos?

You have no idea what you are in for man lol. The difference is like like night and day, literally. Playing Dark Souls at something above 20fps is glorious. Everything is so smooth and responsive. FPS games really shine above 60 fps. Action games like Nier/MGR as well.

Sadly no, I got the invalid code error lol. It was worth a shot though. Thank for posting it!

Just bought this:

phpBB [video]


Pretty neat stuff. This is the only thing that unity has over UE right now, the fucking asset store (they're at least buying some of the developers work to include them in the engine). I hope they step up their game.

Amazon waited a week then canceled my Exist Archive order. I refuse to pay above the $9 it was listed for from here on out lol. What a crock. They gave me a $3 pantry credit :roll:. No reason for the cancellation either.
