Nvidia is currently running a promotion that will see the company award those purchasing GeForce GTX 465, 470, and 480 graphics cards with a free copy of Mafia II.
Hot Hardware reports hearing about the promotion directly from Nvidia and says the offer is part of the launch celebrations for 2K's Mafia II, which was launched on August 24 in North America, August 26 in Australia and August 27 in Europe.
"We here at NVIDIA are super excited about the incredible experience that can be realized when playing on a GeForce GPU. …To celebrate the launch of Mafia II and the gaming goodness it provides to GeForce owners, NVIDIA is offering a coupon code good for one FREE digital download of the complete PC version of Mafia II with the purchase of any qualifying NVIDIA GeForce GTX 465 and above."
The offer is only available while stocks last, so if you've been holding out on purchasing a GeForce and the offer of Mafia II for free has pushed you over the edge, you'll want to get in on this deal quickly.
The offer is available at these online locations in the US: TigerDirect, MWave, and NewEgg. And in Canada at NCIX.

I wonder what I pain it would be to actually claim it...
Since the GTX460 out performs the GTX465, does that count?
Hmmmm, I've been considering a 470 for a while now, but I still got to think about it - especially since the HD 6000 series will be here in a few months.

I believe it is given via a code for Steam.
I have to wonder.
Is the game selling that bad that companies have to start giving the game away?
I miss the days when you could buy a GPU and get a few free games trown in for good measure. Welcome Back!
I have to wonder.Is the game selling that bad that companies have to start giving the game away?
maybe the graphics cards are that bad that they're including a free game so that someone actually has incentive to purchase the card in the first place.
I just bought a GTX460! Oh well, this card kicks ass so I'm still happy.
Nice one. Exclude the only good card you have in the lineup from this deal.
My copy of Mafia II came with a gtx 465 LOL.
Who thinks we'll see more and more promotions to dump the remaining stocks of the GTX 465 and 470 as aggressively factory OC'd GTXS 460s spread?
Mafia II wouldn't be my first choice for a free game to entice people to buy a new graphics card.
gtx460 must be hurting GTX465, 470, and 480 !!! I d still buy a gtx460!!!
if you can do things like in gta, then i'd buy this(the game i mean), but based on reviews, no thanks. had the potential, too bad
Mafia II for ~$200 + a free vid card! Sign me up!
Hope it will run on that card.
Why not a gtx 460 and above? After all it is the only good fermi released to date.
Nice one. Exclude the only good card you have in the lineup from this deal.
I'm sure that's intentional, to promote nVidia's less appealing cards....
..rofl...you couldn't make this s**t up!
Interesting how 460 is not included...
Not as good as the GTX 460 that I'm gonna have when I win the i7 gaming rig from Tom's.
lol
Now, say "super exciiited!!" in a gay voice.
I feel super, thanks for asking....
Nice and it looks like the GTX460 has a deal with starcraft2 or metro. Maybe Mafia 2 will be added to the GTX460 when these deals expire.
I do need a new video card. Mine is overheating alot lately. Maybe time to switch to Nvidia.
They used to give away new games with a video card when video cards were new tech and not all games needed graphics acceleration to be playable. Today we get free games with our video cards because, even with hot and heavy graphics acceleration, many new games are not worth playing, period.
LMAO deal only good on the "omlet" series. Obvious attempt at Nvidia trying to blow out their overcooked line of cards to make way for a new line of more efficient chips like the 460.
i've been looking at getting a new card... perhaps the 470
My 8800GTS is deff. starting to show its age, since i bought it when it came out...
If only they started offering closed beta invites to headline games coming out soon instead of full version mediocre games
I love that it's while stocks last for a digital download. Unless Nvidia is seriously thinking it's going to burn through their entire stock of 465, 470 and 480 cards during this promotion.

I think they meant the stock of GPU cards, not the digital copy of games......but that would be funny if you were right!
Why is everyone hatin on nvidia....each company has their UPs and DOWNs.
