In an interview with VR-Zone, AMD’s VP of channel sales Roy Taylor revealed that they are planning to release their new Never Settle Forever bundle in August. This means that AMD would extend the longevity of their HD 7000 series cards by offering more value to the consumers who buy them.

AMD Never Settle Forever Bundle Arrives This Month With Four New Titles

The first Never Settle bundle was announced during fall 2012 which included titles such as Medal of Honor: WF, Hitman Absolution, Sleeping Dogs and Far Cry 3. In February 2013, AMD released their Never Settle Reloaded as an update to the new bundle promotion giving users Crysis 3, Tomb Raider and Bioshock Infinite with purchase of an Radeon HD 7000 series graphics card. Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon was later added as a free promotion while Sim City was offered to those who bought the latest A10 Series APUs. AMD has offered some really nice value with their products this time along which did help in their sales but as we all know, AMD never settles for anything but the best hence a new bundle update arrives this month.
The new Never Settle Forever Bundle which arrives this month is thought to increase the longevity of AMD’s HD 7000 cards. Now there are two possibles of the games that would be featured inside this bundle although its not confirmed yet, we did get a hint of the games from a roadmap that was leaked earlier. According to it, the new bundle might feature Grid 2, Company of Heroes 2, Splinter Cell: Blacklist and either Lost Planet 3 or Raven’s Cry since both games are scheduled for launch in October 2013. The next bundle which might probably arrive next to the launch of AMD’s Volcanic Islands based “Hawaii” GPU would get Battlefield 4, Total War: Rome 2, Watch Dogs. But its quite the possibility that AMD could bundle pre-release codes for Battlefield 4 which if they do will attract some consumers to the red team.

Some very good titles there, one thing that to me would seem really strange is if they do decide to give BF4 away with the 7000 series, then why oh why have they waited so long to release the 9000 series, if its not to hit it big with BF4.

maybe its a hint that 9 series will be late :(
 
Maybe they decided to delay it until 20nm time can be booked at fabs? Then 9000 series would rock hard. But we are playing the waiting game a LOT lately with AMD, getting annoying.

BTW that slide is confirmed fake.
 
Wether its true or not it does seem like they using the bundle to sell more of the 7000 series cards,which I think is because the 9000 will be late. Makes sense to try and keep the pace with the green team by bribing new customers to buy old products.
 
Just realized that thanks to the promo here at OC the only games from the old bundle I never managed to get were Hitman and Deus Ex but not big losses tbh, out of the suspected new line up you've posted the only game I'd be interested personally in getting would be Watch Dogs but I can see a lot of interest for Battlefield etc
 
Thing thats bugging me is I want all but one really so by buying nvidia ,it will cost more then I will have to pay for the games as well. AAAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH! Had my mind set on those 780s for weeks now :confused::confused::confused:

May be you could make it easy on yourself by drawing the line at "won't buy a GTX780 at any higher than £450"? :p
 
I still find my 7850 to be doing a good job, although I have just started a new job and have more money to waste on things like new gpu's :p
 
Just get the codes out Amd, drop the price of 7950's to under £180 and watch them fly off the shelf...








Straight into the MM for some cheap BF4 and Watchdog codes!;)
 
If BF4 is included with 7 series GPU's than I see there been no chance of seeing 9 series cards this side of BF4 release.

Are they now aiming for a Christmas release, but without a major AAA title at launch?

Very odd.
