Nvidia job posting reveals GTX 1080 Ti, premium 'Club GeForce Elite' subscription
Between the introduction of the Shield lineup, GeForce Experience 3.0’s mandatory registration, and the arrival of GeForce Now’scloud-based PC game streaming, it’s clear that Nvidia’s been striving to position itself as a one-stop gaming ecosystem for PC gamers, rather than a mere purveyor of graphics cards. Now, what appears to be an accidental TMI outburst at the end of a recent Nvidia job posting pulls back the curtain on exactly how the company’s approaching “gamer loyalty”—and hints at unannounced GeForce products that may be on the horizon, including a premium “GeForce Elite” membership and the hotly anticipated GeForce GTX 1080 Ti.
Most Nvidia job postings end with the phrase “We are an AA/EEO/Veterans/Disabled employer.” But the posting for a Senior Marketing Manager – GeForce, Gamer Loyalty & Advocacy position on LinkedInincludes a long extra section below that blurb on how Nvidia views the GeForce Experience program, as well as a schedule for GFE giveaways and the aforementioned teases for new products.
We’ve contacted Nvidia for details about this information and will update this article if representatives respond.
“Club GeForce”
First, some good news: Whoever wrote this section seems to truly consider GFE a boon for GeForce owners. “I think of GFE Rewards as more than giveaways—it’s a Club with exclusive benefits for GFE users,” the author writes. “Through the Club we can help improve our customer’s gaming experience and build a GeForce/GFE community.”
Driving home that sentiment, the rest of the information calls the user loyalty program “Club GeForce,” an informal name for the benefits and giveaways Nvidia provides its users.

The text lists annual benefits for GFE users, such as a free indie game once per year and a free skin or in-game item for a AAA title once per quarter, before talking about weekly giveaways for full games, beta codes, and gaming hardware, which we’ve seen extensively since GFE 3.0’s release.
From there it gets interesting.
GTX 1080 Ti and Club GeForce Elite
In a section titled “Targeted Spot Prizes To Drive Sentiment, Reward Behavior, And Grow Advocates,” Nvidia discusses giving away free game codes to active GeForce forum members and GFE users who confirm bugs or submit superb feature requests—standard stuff.
