Valve and NVIDIA Offer Portal: First Slice Free to GeForce Users

The most recent Steam Hardware Survey shows more Steam gamers play on NVIDIA GeForce hardware than any other graphics platform. In an effort to further support this popular PC gaming configuration - Steam games plus NVIDIA hardware - Valve and NVIDIA have entered into an agreement to collaborate on development, distribution, events, and more. Effective immediately, all NVIDIA gamers may receive a free copy of Portal: First Slice, a special version of the award-winning new game from Valve, by visiting www.steamgames.com/nvidia1 and "Taking the test." Steam will then auto-detect the presence of NVIDIA hardware and make Portal: First Slice available immediately, free of charge. To make it easy for all NVIDIA customers to redeem this offer, a link to the Steam offer will also be included in all NVIDIA drivers.

ENJOY!!




Update: Not only Portal But 4 Free Games/demos



- HL2 Deathmatch
- HL2 Lost Coast
- Peggle Extreme (demo)
- Portal: The first Slice (extended demo)



:up:

If anybody is wondering, it's just an extended demo.

Wonder if this works like the ati one, just goto pc with onboard or greater of that type, login and your good?

Goto other pc , and you still had an nV/ati card.

how long ago did portal come out?

too little too late

:lol: at the fact that people are still using direct x 7

I wonder if you can trick steam into thinking you have an nVidia based solution, when really you run an ATI card :)

Thats a neat deal, even for an "extended demo".
By the way, what is an extended demo, of portal. The entire first half of the game?

the game is only 3 and a half hours anyway

well, my brother have a nvidia card, if I log my steam account there, add the game to my list than go back to my PC (with ati card) I will be able to play this thing?
I already have the free ati games, Hl2DM and Hl2 lost coast.

Stop spreading nonsense: NO game has a fixed playtime. Game "X" is 20 hours to user 1 , user 2 says it's 1 hour. I didn't play Portal yet so i don't know what's it for me. My favorite games give me 100's of hours enjoyment.

ok sorry, its 'around' 3-5 hours of gameplay, but it really is a good game.

QFT, EP2 sucked big time after i played portal.

portal is an awesome game! wish they would think about some sort of sequal/prequal to it but i'll be happy with the portal gun in ep3! first time through only took me 4 1/2 hours or so... down to about two now... seen a youtube video of a guy finishing in 18 minutes!! :shocked:
so for anyone who doesn't have it this "extended demo" is prolly a good convicer to buy it... for the rest of us.. maybe we should just go run through it again!! :yepp:

I just downloaded it and it's loads of fun, although it's not very long....:(. Does anyone have any idea how long this demo is supposed to be? Mine just stops/crashes after 'test 10'.
EDIT: it takes about 10 minutes to complete this demo that's a bit short.....
