Hello!

 

 

My first question:

 

Is the R9 290x a dual GPU card i mean is it 2 R9 280x's?

 

I see that if i buy a 290x then i get Battlefield 4

 

so my question is:

 

does it unclude BF4 premium too?

 

 

Becuze if i buy this card then its not worth to getting the game on release when i get one more copy 

in the GPUs box?

Are you serious? You have a R9 290x as your profile picture and you don't know if it has 1 or 2 GPU's? :P

It has 1 and I think some will come with premium. Only 8000 bundles are being sold worldwide, so chances are not really high on getting one.

New to Star Citizen? Look no further!

The R9 290X is a single GPU card.  I haven't seen any bundles that include Battlefield 4 Premium.

They all come with both BF4 and Premium.

Why are people so excited for the BF4 Premium bundle? It's not like you are getting it for free, they just add the price on to the card. Probably cheaper buying the card without the bundle and shopping around for the game to get it cheaper.

Because the Bundle means you get it the day of release (i.e. Oct 15th if NDA means release).

No, it means you get a download code that redeems on Origin. It doesn't matter if it came with an actual disk because I doubt you'd be able to play it 2 weeks before everyone else. It would be cool if it did but I don't ever see that happening.

I don't know what you are talking about. That is the point of a pre-order. That you get the GPU and game the day of release because it ships 2 days before release.

I thought it was releasing the 15th or is that just preorder?

 

And why do you need to preorder a PC game? I thought you just buy it through Origin and it preloads? I must be missing something.

The GPU is the point. Not the game, unless it's a console game and isn't on the online stores. 

It's releasing the 15th.

Yeah but the bundle is pretty pointless. Unless of course it's free but we wont know till the pricing appears.
