Nvidia is looking to sway you in to buying a GeForce GTX 970 or a GTX 980 soon as the two graphics cards will now come bundled with copies of two highly anticipated games: The Witcher 3 and Batman: Arkham Knight.
Both GPUs are already selling very well but with AMD's R9 300 series on the horizon, Nvidia needs to put the pressure on a bit. Both games are supported by Nvidia Game Works technologies, such as PhysX and HBAO+. The Witcher 3 will actually debut Nvidia's own Hair Physics technology to combat AMD's Tress FX solution.
The Witcher 3 is set to release on the 19th of May while Batman: Arkham Knight will unlock on the 23rd of June. We have reviewed plenty of GTX 970 and GTX 980 solutions since September so you don't have to stray too far to find out which one is for you.
Right now at Overclockers UK, GTX 970's are starting at £254.99 while GTX 980 GPUs are starting at £439.99. If you were planning on a graphics card upgrade anytime soon, then these deals might be worth taking a look at.

KitGuru Says: Both the GTX 970 and GTX 980 are pretty solid GPU choices so if you were planning on upgrading any time soon, then you might as well grab some free games while you're at it. That said, AMD is expected to launch its next generation graphics cards just next month so keep that in mind.
Well, Arkham Knight is certainly an interesting extra motivation. If only it also included a season pass. But we’ll see about that when the 3XX-serie is launched.
good thing i already bought a 970 a week ago . . . .
Yep! I can’t wait to get my GTX 970 with the NVidia reference cooler! Going to be sweet! 😀
I just bought a 980 with Free Witcher, which I’ve already paid for to get the Collector’s Edition, wish I would have known and waited a couple of weeks. Oh well.
Nope. Won’t touch anything now. No movement on price and too close to the AMD releases. Sit back and watch as Lisa (Mayweather) and Huang (Pacquiao) enter the ring
You could give me the other witcher 3 copy xD, jk. Wish I had waited before purchasing my GPU’s D: *secretly hoping you would give me the other copy* *whistles nervously*
