NVIDIA today announced a collaboration with Blizzard Entertainment for its MMORPG World of Warcraft.
As part of NVIDIA's The Way It's Meant to Be Played programme, World of Warcraft will undergo extensive compatibility testing to ensure a "no hassles" install-and-play experience for gamers equipped with NVIDIA GPUs. Blizzard has optimised the game for NVIDIA hardware and is working with NVIDIA to ensure the game plays well across a broad line-up of GPUs, from the brand new GeForce 6800 series to the GeForce 2.
To celebrate the collaboration, NVIDIA and Blizzard will randomly distribute 1,000 closed beta accounts to eager gamers hoping to be among the first to experience the game. Sign-ups will be held for one week only, starting today at Nvidia's NZone website <<

"Blizzard is one of the world's most respected game developers, and we're thrilled to be working with them," said Bill Rehbock, general manager of content development at NVIDIA. "The blend of Blizzard's creative talent and NVIDIA graphics processors makes World of Warcraft a sight to behold."
"NVIDIA GPUs enrich the gaming experience with faster frame rates and enhanced visuals," stated Paul Sams, senior vice president of business operations at Blizzard Entertainment. "With a track record of performance, compatibility and reliability, it's easy to recommend NVIDIA GPUs for those about to begin their journey into the World of Warcraft."
"The investment we're making with Blizzard in compatibility will pay out in spades as soon as the legions of gamers go from install to play quickly and effortlessly," added Rehbock.
Blizzard gives players a new perspective into the popular massively multiplayer Warcraft series with its new title, World of Warcraft. See the world of Azeroth like never before, exploring expansive 3D environments that range from mountains, to deserts, to forests and more.
Create a custom character from one of the many classes and races in the Warcraft universe such as Humans, Night Elves, Orcs, Tauren, and Dwarves. Online multiplayer capabilities allow for thousands of players to quest together. Ever changing gameplay varies from month to month as new missions and items are constantly updated, adding to the countless hours of adventuring.
