Sorry if I posted in the wrong area, if so, please move. Anyway, I stumbled across a free gift on a graphics card that said Free silver reward.  After a quick search, I came upon this : http://sites.amd.com/us/Documents/Never_Settle_Forever_terms_and_conditions_July_2013.pdf It says you are able to choose you're own game, either 1, 2, or 3 games depending if you got a Bronze, Silver or Gold rewards (7700, 7800, 7900 respectively) However, couldn't find what actual games are available for the choosing.

Update: Thanks to @CDLT for finding this link: http://amd4u.com/radeonrewards/

Haha, I doubt they'd be released tomorrow, but who know?

probably not the truest because apparently AMD has an event in Hawaii where they reveal it, but who knows like you said

Well hello

 

 

 

AMD "Hawaii" Press Sample Boxes Surface

 

 

Some time in late September, the 25th to be precise, AMD is flying the press at large over to Hawaii, to unveil its "Volcanic Islands" GPU family, with its flagship part, codenamed "Hawaii." This chip is expected to succeed "Tahiti," on which AMD's top-end Radeon HD 7900 series is based. An poster on ChipHell forums leaked these pictures of a press-package of AMD's flagship Hawaii-based graphics card, which has things going both for and against its credibility.

To begin with, the picture shows an audio CD-type jewel case holding Battlefield 4. Given that the game won't launch until late-October, we find it implausible that its release DVDs will be ready a month in advance. There's also a graphic printed on the box that shows the shore of a volcanic island (where magma meets the ocean) in the background, and an AMD logo in the foreground. The thread also contains a few alleged x-ray shots from a different poster, but we're pretty sure that they're of a motherboard. Nice try.

If BF4 becomes a part of this deal, which it has been widely circulated that it will, then I will totally be picking up a second 7950 for Crossfire.

Interesting.

I'm still within my return period for my MSI GTX 760. That bundle with the cheap 7950 prices may push me to return it and get a 7950.

If I already have bought my 7950 will I be able to participate in this?

No.

Only with cards bought when the promotion is ongoing.

Yea, but I believe it will only be qualified on newly purchased cards starting today, and in the future.

Yeah I see it on Newegg.com, unfortunately its not on the .ca yet :(

I'd order the ICEQ X2 7950 but it will probably be out of stock by the time the deal shows for me.

Just ordered a huge upgrade for my build and got a 7970, I think I'm going to get Dues Ex and then wait for BF4 and hopefully Watch Dogs to be added to the list, the other games I'm not too interested in or have already beaten if they're really great like Tomb Raider, Sleeping Dogs and Far Cry 3.

You should e-mail Newegg or wherever you bought the card from first before you get sad, they've been known to be kind and ship you a free game card if you're a day or two late.

Well I'll definitely be ordering a new 7950 when BF4 is added to the lineup lol.  The card is just so cheap right now... it's too much of a deal to pass up.

AMD lately has been know for its GPU+Video games coupons. Now the things get a bit more complicated while you are the one who chooses the games you want from a specific Tier but there is a limit in the number of games you can get. 

 

7770/7790 : Bronze Tier-1 Free Game out of 6

7800 Series: Silver Tier-2 Free Games out of 8

7900 Series: Gold Tier-3 Free Games out of 8

7990: Gets 8 out of 9 Games for Free.

 

These are the Tiers:

In my opinion the games are not as good as in there older bundles. For example Bioshock Infinite and Crysis 3 were the really hot titles. However, having the ability to choose is very nice.

Also the fact that the Bundle ends in December 31, 2013 is interesting. AMD said no new GPUs on 2013 so maybe on January 1st, 2014 we can see the 9000 series finally coming out with a new updated bundle?!Who knows.

Glad I didn't waste time for this before I bought my card. Not really worth it. Far Cry 3 looks like the only good game to me and my brother has that for Xbox if I'm really dying to play it...

I was really hoping they would have new games out for the bundle. Maybe there will be a new version when the 9XXX series comes out.
