Get GeForce Now for Free, The Best 4K TV Under $800, Alienware RTX2060 PC $799

Filed Under: ENTERTAINMENT, IGN

Today’s spotlight deal is a great introductory offer on the GeForce Now cloud-based game streaming service which just launched today. There are also some great deals on a stellar 4K TV and some powerful Alienware gaming PCs. The Xbox Elite Series 2 controller, which is compatible with the upcoming Xbox, is also back down in price.

GeForce Now Launches Today: Get 3 Free Months of the Founder’s Plan, $4.99/Month Afterwards

We have a much more detailed explanation of what the GeForce Now streaming service is, but in short, GeForce Now is a new service that lets you play your PC games without the need for a gaming PC. Instead, it’s streamed from one of NVIDIA’s servers. This is perfect for people who don’t want to spend money on a fancy gaming rig or for Mac users who don’t normally have access to these games in the first place. Unlike the Stadia, if you already own the PC games, you don’t need to re-buy them. NVIDIA is offering a free 3-month trial of their $4.99/month Founder’s plan, which offers up to 6 hours of uninterrupted gaming at a time, priority access, and RTX features like Ray-Tracing. If you’re unsure about signing up because you think your internet speed might not be up to snuff, this is the perfect time to test it.

65″ Hisense 65H9F 4K HDR QLED Smart HDTV: The Best 65″ 4K TV Under $1000

There’s a reason why this TV is sold out everywhere except on Amazon. The Hisense 65H9F could easily be a contender for the best 65″ TV under $1,000 and today it’s $200 off. The image quality on this TV compares to models from Samsung, Sony, LG, and Vizio that cost well over $1,000. It boasts the same Quantum LED (QLED) technology as Samsung. It can also fully support HDR content thanks to its full-array LED backlit panel with local area dimming, wide color gamut, and a very high peak brightness.

Alienware Aurora Intel Core i7-9700 8-Core RTX 2080 SUPER Gaming Desktop PC for $1409.99

Use code “AWR8420OFF“

The coupon code just went live today and won’t last more than a few days. This is the least expensive Core i7/RTX 2080 prebuilt gaming desktop you’ll find right now, and Alienware isn’t even considered a budget brand. The RTX 2080 is the new SUPER model that performs about 10% faster than the original (and much faster than the previous king of the hill, the GTX 1080 Ti). It’s also equipped with 8GB of RAM, 256GB solid state drive, and a 1TB hard drive. All of these components can be swapped/upgraded without voiding your warranty.

Alienware Aurora Intel Core i5-9400 6-Core RTX 2060 Gaming Desktop PC for $799.99

Use code “AWR8420OFF“

This is the lowest price we’ve ever seen for an Alienware Aurora desktop equipped with an RTX 2060 video card. The desktop-class RTX 2060 video card is actually quite powerful; it’s superior to the GTX 1070 Ti video card and will handle current gen easily at up to 1440p as well as VR headsets like the Valve Index and HTC Vive Pro.
