Nvidia marketing is totally on another level.

Today i saw this ad for GTX 1050, which called essential for every gamer.

That's how you sell video cards to the masses.

Still not as insane as game console ads from the 90s. You'd think Blast Processing was going to start your house on fire.

 

[tviceman]

Hahaha reminiscent of the 3dfx ads from the 90's. I was about to blast how over the top serious it was until the clown honk.

I dislike NVIDIA's marketing, this advert is no exception.

 

[Maverick177]

I cringe hard.

Chick was hot. Super hot. Good marketing idea. I can see how any young man would do anything to make her happy, but buying a 1050 is going too far, even if its for her. For a few more bucks you get the 480. Much better idea.

It has you talking about it, so it succeeded.

It's been awhile since AMD was using Ruby to cause a stir....hopefully their marketing department will wake up for Zen.

Haha, that advert was terrible! Someone message AMD. That lady needs The Fixer to make things right.

Haha, there you go! Kudos!

I think it fails for a completely different reason in that it does nothing that would make me want to keep watching beyond that point where I could click the skip ad button and doesn't do a good job of advertising the product in that brief window. I just know it's an Nvidia product, which draw some people in general, but probably not most.

It's just about as bad as AMD marketing at it's best. Nvidia is generally pretty decent.......

Yeah, I think some folks didn't bother to watch the whole video...

Why does the racer have a WRC logo on his firesuit in a LeMans garage?
