    Anything's possible

    In the past, XFX have sometimes flown a little close to the sun with their card settings, so failure rates might have been a little higher. Don't know if that's the case nowadays, the volume of sales (XFX being pretty much the cheapest) will make a relative assessment quite tricky.

    Then there's how well the company/their retail relations deal with returns.

    Then I have been lucky then, my XFX5850 is still rock steady 2-3 years down the line and that came with 3 games bundled...happy days.
    Of course I'm perfect you just need to lower your expectations.

    Isn't that what has been advertised? The 7800 series get Tomb Radar (Yawn) and Far Cry 3, and the 7900 series cards get Crysis. Both get Bioshock.

    This is just a way of them being able to sell the old stock before they bring out the new GPU's in a few weeks time. It does however make them very affordable.

    Re: News - AMD’s new Never Settle: Reloaded games bundle

    Hi.

    Just want to make you aware the current AMD Offer "Never Settle Reloaded" doesnt actually work for a 7990 in the UK.

    I have purchased a PowerColor 7990 last week from eBuyer who were on AMDs approved seller list and they would only give me Crysis3 and Bioshock voucher they said they dont participate in the (6 game deal), I thought about returning it and buying a 7990 from Scan or Overclockers UK who are both also on the AMD approved list. After having a nightmare with a Scan rep trying to explain about the promotion, they said they would only provide Crysis3 & Bioshock if I bought a 7990 and OcUK also said the same on their forums! The only other UK supplier on AMDs approved seller list is Novatech and they dont sell the 7990.

    So AMDs reloaded promotion offering up to 6 games doesnt work in the UK :/

    There is nowhere to buy it..

    I tried to contact AMD over a week ago but they have not yet responded. I hope you can help or raise some awareless about this as I was really disappointed esp after AMDs high profile advertising of this promotion.

    I was really looking forward to the deal they offered as well :/

    None of the above retailers make this clear, its only once you receive your voucher you find this out.

    Hope This might help some others.

    Haven't you only bought one card (as you said "a"), in which case they are doing the promotion correctly?

    It does state that you have to buy TWO 7900 series cards for the 6-game bundle.

    He bought the 7990 which is entitled as per the promotion, to everything.

    Except Far Cry 3 it appears. I can't see a supplier anywhere that is offering it under the offer?

    Sorry, my mistake - I somehow missed the parts that specifically stated that it was the 7990 or two 7900 series cards.
