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

See 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.

Exec behind “Next Big Thing” campaign has departed Samsung

Samsung Mobile CMO, Todd Pendleton, has reportedly departed the company, according to CNET . Pendleton is credited with creating Samsung’s famous “Next Big Thing” campaign, which took aim at the company’s rivals while highlighting the benefits of its own mobile lineup. The ads were smart, terse, and ultimately helped raise the awareness of Samsung’s brand as a major smartphone maker here in the U.S. It’s unclear why Pendleton left, but it’s being reported that Samsung executives became dissatisfied with the campaign’s recent success, even going so far as auditing the mobile division’s Dallas headquarters. It seems you can only use the Next Big Thing tagline so many times; the commercials have taken a decidedly different turn over the past few months, focusing on design, functionality and features rather than bashing Samsung competitors. The timing, I suppose, seems appropriate given that Samsung has just unveiled two new flagships, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Samsung is clearly

You can now control PowerPoint for iPhone with your Apple Watch

Want to master the CMO role? Join us for GrowthBeat Summit on June 1-2 in Boston , where we'll discuss how to merge creativity with technology to drive growth. Space is limited and we're limiting attendance to CMOs and top marketing execs. Request your personal invitation here ! Microsoft today updated its PowerPoint for iOS app with a rather bizarre update: remote Apple Watch support. You can download the new version now directly from Apple’s App Store . We say this addition is “bizarre” because, well, why would anyone want to control PowerPoint on their iPhone from their Apple Watch? This PowerPoint app also works on the iPad , and we would argue it makes more sense to control a presentation on your tablet from your wrist than one that is on your smartphone. Here is the changelog so you can try to make sense of it yourself: PowerPoint Remote for Apple Watch: control your slide show on iPhone with a beautifully simple app. Start your slide show and easily navigate to

Gears of War leakers punished by Microsoft

Footage of the Gears of War remaster currently in production leaked this week . Microsoft took swift action as a result, banning and suspending the accounts and consoles of the people who broke NDA. When you sign up to be a beta tester on very early projects like these, you sign a Nondisclosure Agreement. These NDAs are usually pretty tight and make clear what you are and aren’t allowed to talk about and what the consequences might be for breaking the agreement. In the case of these leaks, it seems that the leak actually went against not only the NDA the users in question signed when they started working with the firm handling the testing but against Microsoft’s End User License Agreement as well. The firm, VMC, sent out a letter to all its testers in the wake of the leak, stating that Microsoft has permanently disabled the Xbox Live accounts of the users in question, as well as any accounts unfortunate enough to be on the system at the time. Additionally, the console itself has be
