New NVIDIA GTX 970, 980 cards get Witcher 3 and Batman: Arkham Knight free

Erics Guide GTX 970See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo

Now might be the time to look at upgrading that video card. NVIDIA thinks so, too, and it has an offer that you can refuse but might have a hard time doing so.

While no one is going to suggest that the new consoles are more powerful than gaming PCs, they’ve started to influence PC gaming in at least one way. Both systems have huge chunks of unified memory, and new games are being designed to make use of those chunks of memory. 2 gigabytes of RAM on a video card, as crazy as it sounds, isn’t as much as it used to be. More and more, games are going to be asking for a solid 4 gigabytes. It started with games like Watch_Dogs, and is continuing with some of the hotly anticipated games coming out this year. 2 gigabytes is what you’ll need to hit the minimum requirements, while 3 and 4 gigabytes of video RAM is going to get you to the recommended requirements.

If you play PC games regularly and are looking to keep doing so this summer, moving up to a newer card might be a good way to keep your frame rate above 30. There are tons of options out there, but Nvidia is making a pretty compelling argument for their cards. Aside from having some solid benchmarks, purchasing any NVIDIA GTX 900 series card will get you a free code for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. If you opt for the higher end 970 or 980 cards, though, you’ll get a code for Batman: Arkham Asylum as well. That’s $120 in brand new games that will help you immediately push your video card.

The only caveat is that the retailer has to be participating in the promotion, as they will be the ones providing the codes. Amazon and many other big retailers are participating, so there are tons of ways to take advantage of this awesome deal.

The cards are, of course, available now. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is available May 19, and Batman: Arkham Knight is available June 23.

Crypt of the NecroDancer mod is the Mega Man rhythm game we’ve never had

Not ready for “Mega May” to end just yet? Capcom has done a good job making sure that every classic Mega Man game that it can release has been released through digital channels, but when it comes to original content, the fan scene is still the best place to look. Like this mod for example! The Mega Man series is eternally memorable for its amazing soundtracks, but we’ve sadly never gotten a rhythm game out of it. Luckily, we have CutmanMike to thank for modding the Blue Bomber, a host of his iconic enemies, an arsenal of special weapons, and several of his greatest musical hits into the indie hit Crypt of the NecroDancer. For those who have not played it,  Crypt of the NecroDancer  is a dungeon crawling roguelike game. Sure, we have enough of those these days, but the kicker which really helps this one stand out is that it must be played to a beat for maximum performance. Miss a beat, and your character will do less damage or miss an attack. The Mega Man mod r...

See Chris Pratt train his crew of raptors in a new ‘Jurassic World’ clip

Is there any piece of film music more recognizable than the theme from Jurassic Park , scored by John Williams, progenitor of many beloved numbers? That’s a rhetorical question, because there is not (OK, except for the Star Wars theme.) The wondrous, swelling music introduces us to a new featurette for Jurassic World , which has some big shoes to fill. While there has been a Jurassic Park 2 and Jurassic Park 3 , Jurassic World is the true successor to the first movie, which was a miraculous and groundbreaking work from Steven Spielberg when it came out in 1993. The new film picks up approximately 30 years after Jurassic Park , which ended with the park in disarray. Now, however, Jurassic World is a bustling theme park, with attractions, shows and one very large genetically modified dinosaur.  The new featurette provides some cool new footage, along with some commentary by executive producer Steven Spielberg, director Colin Trevorrow and Chis Pratt, who is part of the pa...

Tesla Model S update promises to solve “range anxiety”

Tesla announced a new update coming to its Model S car this year which should make it impossible to ever drive too far away from a charging station, at least on purpose. The company also confirmed plans to add auto-steering features later this year. Ahead of the recent event, CEO Elon Musk promised to kill “range anxiety” once and for all, describing the concern some Tesla drivers feel over whether they’ll be able to reach a charging station in time. Once the firmware update (version 6.2) hits, it will add a Range Assurance application that keeps track of your location and the nearest chargers. The app, which always runs in the background, will send a notification to the driver if he or she is about to wander out of range so that they can turn around in time. “This makes it effectively impossible for a Model S driver to run out of range unintentionally,” Musk said. Version 6.2 should roll out in the next two weeks. It also includes a new Trip Planner feature that helps map out long...
