For Fortnite: Battle Royale offers graphics card manufacturer Nvidia a special bundle. Buy a graphics card from the GTX-10XX series and get skins, gliders, and V-Bucks included. This is what the Nvidia skins from Fortnite look like.
This is the deal from Nvidia for Fortnite: If you are a Fortnite player on PC and have an old graphics card, then the new deal from Nvidia might be interesting for you. The graphics card manufacturer is currently offering three bundles. Buy a card from the GTX 1070 Ti, 1070, or 1060 series and you will receive the following Fortnite equipment:
- Reflect Outfit and Response Back Bling
- Pivot Glider
- Angular Axe
- 2,000 V-Bucks (about 20 Euros)
This is what the Nvidia skin from Fortnite looks like:
What do the bundles cost me? Depending on the graphics card, the bundles are available at the following prices:
- GTX 1060 Bundle: 289.00 Euros
- GTX 1070 Bundle: 429.00 Euros
- GTX 1070 Ti Bundle: 479.00 Euros
Is this really a bargain? The deals are certainly not a bad idea for Fortnite fans with outdated hardware. However, the cards alone can also be cheaper depending on the provider if you don’t need Fortnite stuff.
During last Black Friday, Nvidia graphics cards were even sold at significantly lower prices.
Nvidia has overproduced and is sitting on mountains of chips
Why is Nvidia offering Fortnite bundles at all? The reason for the many special offers and the price decline of Nvidia’s GTX 10 series cards is quite simple. The company has simply produced too many of its last-gen chips and now needs to get rid of them.
The reason for the surplus is mainly the decline of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. To “mine” them, you need powerful hardware. Nvidia saw a large market there.
However, the fact that this market collapsed again after a short time was not foreseen, and now they have too many chips.
That’s why GTX 10 series cards are a good choice: Although there is now a new generation of Nvidia cards (the 2000 series). They are still expensive, and therefore it is worth buying and using the still good GTX 10 series cards, whether with Fortnite bundle or without.
