AMD is killin it with their free game bundles

[TetraSky]

I hope there will be another game deal by the time Zen 2 and Navi are released...

When I was looking for a video card to upgrade, I had thought about getting the VEGA 56 because of the 3 game bundle. Doing a bit of research on the card I want to get, which was the Asus Strix version of VEGA 56, the webpage shows it didn't came with any bundle, but their Asus Arez VEGA 56 has. I don't want Arez, I want Strix, Looking up some more info about the 3 game bundle, somehow during that time, it says bundle promotion has ended. I found it odd because Radeon VII was just released and it also has the same bundle, that don't make any sense. Don't want to think too much about the game any more, I focus on the age of the VEGA 56. VEGA 56 is already a 3 year old card and price of it for the Asus Strix model was around $500 when I was looking at it which is the same as the RTX 2070. Well I'm not going to spend my hard earn dollars on a card that's already 3 years old, I want something brand new. If the game bundle has not "expired", okay fine, I can justify my purchase of the 3 year old card, because it says expired, then I didn't see the point of getting a VEGA 56, so I went with the Asus Strix version of RTX 2070. It also came with a game of either BF5 or Anthem. Not a good bundle compared to AMD, but a free game is a free game so that's good. One thing I like about the Strix for the RTX is the hardware based RGB switch on the card, which lets me physically turn the lights off.

 

Now that the promo really didn't end, VEGA 56 and 64 are both good buys especially if you want those games.

Here are the Strix and Arez version of VEGA 56 and 64

Forget those prices, newegg has a killer deal right now on 56 for those in the US. Same arez one that you mentioned too. With the 3 games as well. Probably out of stock by now though

I got a Ryzen 5 2600 that came with Division 2 and the RX 580 came with DMC5 and RE2 Remastered. 

 

I'm not a huge hack n slash guy, so DMC will probably sit unplayed unless I'm looking to test benchmarks on it or something, but RE2 is GREAT, and I'm pretty stoked to check out Division 2 on my next days off!

 

Definitely a value! (Even if Powercolor made is sufficiently difficult to get my rebate. I ended up missing a deadline somehow.)
