"Its vBucks and some skins/extras." This was quoted from the Q&A section. Looks like its just bonus material for the game.

It's also a game that can run pretty well on a potato GPU, and isn't exactly priced for the audience that primarily plays Fortnite. ....it's a bizarre offer. :D

Not really. Its branding/marketing. You always want to tie yourself to popular stuff. Just like how Fortnite has been doing promotions with everyone they can (they had an Avengers Infinity War promotion, and more recently they had one with the NFL).

I don't see any reason at all to suggest the RX 590 over something like this RX 580.

MSI RX 580 8G with 2 games $165 shipped AC (EMCEERY44) and MIR @Newegg Item#: N82E16814137244



EDIT: Removed link because its redirecting to walmart for some reason.

Just a few months ago it would have cost twice that amount due to miners. How times change. Not happy with the cooler but at that price it’s hard to complain.

Brings back memories of the Never Settle Bundles back when AMD either A) had more money or B) had more sway with devs. The good old days. /sniff I miss my HD 7970 :(

I purchased so many GPUs back then that I was giving all my friends and family free games. Glorious day for sure back when AMD made complete tank GPUs that would OC like mad and lasted for years and years of hard abuse.
