Hey guys,

I wonder how does the Never settle bundle look on the new AMD GPUs, I plan on buying the 280X but free games are not mentioned anywhere. Is it included or do they plan to include it in the future?

Never Settle is included with the new cards - specifically Never Settle Forever. Their Never Settle program will apparently never end now.

Never Settle Forever is apparently supposed to last until the end of the year. I think once all of the 7xxx cards are gone and the current program expires, a new one will kick in for the 2xx cards. So no, I don't believe that there are currently any free games with the 200 series.

Seems a bit of false advertising, if true.

It wasn't that AMD said it would last until then, but they said you could redeem your codes until Dec. 31st. That makes me think that Jan 1st = new NS bundle.

So I couldn't use the codes in the next season? But they said I can save them and use later when new games are added.

Campaign Period: Campaign Period begins August 14, 2013 and ends on December 31, 2013 or when supply of Key Codes is exhausted, whichever occurs first. Eligible AMD Product must be purchased during Campaign Period. The AMD Unique ID must be redeemed during the Campaign Period to obtain Application downloads after which the AMD Unique ID is void.

That website also only lists 7xxx cards as eligible.
