"Nvidia's offer: Purchase an RTX 50-series graphics card, obtain Borderlands 4 for free - an upcoming looter-shooter game comes as a free bonus with your purchase"
In the world of gaming, the release of a new looter shooter in Gearbox Software's long-running Borderlands franchise is an exciting event. Borderlands 4, set to launch on September 12th, promises to deliver a higher-quality experience than its predecessor. However, its high PC system requirements have left some fans disheartened.
To make the game more accessible, Nvidia is offering a limited-time promotion. Purchasing an RTX 5090, RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti, or RTX 5070 prebuilt desktop, graphics card, or laptop will give you a free copy of Borderlands 4 Standard Edition. This promotion is extended by Nvidia partners and authorized retailers, making it easier for gamers to enjoy the new title.
The RTX 5090, suitable for both gamers and professionals, is a powerful graphics card. With 32GB of GDDR6 VRAM soldered around the GB202 die, it can handle even the toughest loads. At the time of writing, some of the cheapest discounts for RTX 5090 AIB partner cards drop their prices down to $2,399. Newegg is also offering the Zotac SOLID OC GeForce RTX 5090 32GB for $2,399, a price decrease from its original price of $2,898.
For those with a more modest budget, there are also deals on RTX 5070 and RTX 5070 Ti models. The MSI Ventus 3X OC RTX 5070 is available for $579 at Newegg, a price decrease from its original $649. The Zotac Solid Core GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is available for $749 at Newegg, matching Nvidia's MSRP.
Borderlands 4 is set in the world of Kairos, which is stricken with warring factions and under the rule of the Timekeeper. Players will take on the role of one of four vault hunters: Vex Rafa, Amon, or Harlove. The game also comes pre-bundled with the Gilded Glory Pack, which includes one vault hunter skin, one weapon skin, and an Echo-4 drone skin.
The base game of Borderlands 4 has a price of $70. If you are getting Borderlands 4 with a qualifying RTX 50-series GPU or device, you ideally won't have to worry as much about performance issues, assuming your CPU is up to snuff. The game supports four-player co-op on PC and two-player split-screen co-op on consoles.
