[fudzilla] AMD preparing new Never Settle bundle

Yeap, they are killing games developers.

Seriously how about you stop the trolling of AMD threads; we get you don't like them; but you do nothing to add to the subject.....

OT - damn that's awesome; I just literally ordered the 7870 TX/LE - with 5 game bundle *grins*

Deal was too good to pass up - we shall see what the next deal drops and what we get 🙂 as if its damn good just might have to pick up another card 🙂

Yes, by giving very large sums of money and assistance in optimization in return for a logo at startup, AMD are really killing them... 😕😕

Choking them with money. It's brutal way to go down.

If I had time to play any of these games right now, I'd probably pick up a 7950 "for cheap" immediately. I think it makes them an easy choice against the equivalent nvidia card at the same price point - even if all you do is flip the games.

I had great luck with Batman AC when it was bundled with the Samsung SSDs.

If Crossfire wasn't a disaster, I absolutely would have picked up a pair of 7950s instead of the 670 I have now. Been waiting for the 670's to price drop to pick up a second one, but it is so ridiculously tempting to pick up a pair of Sapphire 7950's for $540 AND get 4 games, 2 of which I would sell getting at least $60 back. Save myself hundreds of dollars and potentially get better performance when overclocked. . . . . If only crossfire wasn't a mess. . . . . DAMNIT!!

You think they are forcing developers to give away their games with video cards?

Nice, you're trying to reach a level of trolling previously unheard of, you're certainly taking it to new heights. My favorite was your suggestion that all AMD users should die. Keep it up!

There is nothing odd with it. AMD payed for it. That's the reason why they delayed their new generation.

You can't have both. :hmm:

Can you explain what you mean here? The bundles are the reason they delayed the next gen? You can't have both? Source/explanation, please.

sounds cool. Maybe i will pick up another 7950 for BF4! Nothing wrong with crossfire, though, afaik.

I await purchasing more coupons off eBay! 😛

Same here. Super happy with my 7950 CFX. There's no stuttering in sight with vsync enabled. This whole frametime thing is overblown.

Now for competitive games, that don't like vsync, it could be a problem I guess.

We'll probably see this bundle, Malta, and new crossfire optimized drivers all at the same time. Then people who have a single AMD GPU now, a lot of them might have come with a game bundle, could crossfire and get in on the newest bundle as well. Sounds like a good strategy, anyhow. 🙂

I can't speak for the 7xxx series crossfire as I only have one of them, but I had no complaints with the 6950 crossfire aside from when it simply scaled horribly in games like WoT.

Overall the single 7950 has been a bit smoother, mb due to extra VRAM, (+ OC helps) and certainly does better in WoT.
