HTC Selling Vive + GTX 1070 Founders Edition Bundle for $799, Including Free ‘Fallout 4 VR’ Pre-order

Following the HTC Vive’s recent price cut from $799 to $599, HTC is now offering a bundle of Vive hardware and an Nvidia GTX 1070 Founders Edition GPU to US customers for $800. The offer is available on the official Vive website while stocks last—and yes, it also includes a free copy of Fallout 4 VR.

Update (10/29/17): HTC has dropped $200 from the 1070 Founders Edition bundle, bringing it down from $999 to $799 for the whole package. This also includes a free pre-order of Bethesda’s upcoming Fallout 4 VR (normally $60), which amounts to a whopping $260 savings.

Most GTX 1070s still tend to retail above $400, and the Founder’s Edition, with its fancy ‘tessellated’ cooler design, can sometimes be hard to come by. Although Nvidia’s site is now flush with stock, a price this low is pretty damn near unbeatable.

The previous generation GTX 970 continues to be the minimum spec for the Vive, but the GTX 1070 GPU is a much better option today, with its Pascal architecture bringing various VR optimisations, giving you greater headroom for running demanding VR titles at higher quality settings. We recommended the 1070 as a great ‘mid range’ GPU option for VR in this article.

Prepping yourself for the Wasteland? Check out our hands-on with Fallout 4 VR. The game has shown a drastic improvement over previous prototypes, and promises to be one of the longest and most well-liked games in VR history to date.
