AMD has kicked off a new campaign that adds free digital copies of Prey and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus to select Radeon RX Vega 64 and Vega 56 graphics cards. The offer will run almost worldwide till the end of the year, thus making AMD’s latest high-end graphics cards more attractive throughout the holiday shopping season.
Starting from November 24 and to December 31 (or when AMD runs out of codes), AMD will include vouchers for Prey and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus downloads with air- and liquid-cooled Radeon RX Vega 64 as well as Radeon RX Vega 56 graphics cards from various suppliers in most of the world. Meanwhile, due to legal concerns, AMD will offer Sniper Elite 4 instead of Wolfenstein II in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, and Israel. All codes must be redeemed within two months after the end of the promo campaign, by February 28, 2018.
The launch of AMD's game bundles for the RX Vega comes at an interesting time. Due to cryptocurrency mining frenzy and due to generally high demand for advanced video cards among gamers, the Radeon RX Vega cards have been in short supply and selling for well over MSRP when they are in stock. As of this morning, Newegg is entirely sold out of RX Vega 56 cards, and RX Vega 64 cards start at $599. So AMD doesn't need to do much to spark demand for these cards at the moment.
At present, AMD only includes vouchers with reference design boards and it remains to be seen whether the company extends the campaign to custom RX Vega products from its partners, should they launch before the end of the year.
Besides bundling Prey and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus with select Radeon RX Vega video cards, AMD is continuing to bundle Quake Champions “Champions Pack” with select graphics adapters powered by the Radeon RX550, RX 560, RX 570 and RX 580 GPUs (as well as PCs featuring the cards from participating system integrators). This campaign also ends on December 31 and all the codes must be redeemed by February 28, 2018. The Quake Champions "Champions Pack" may be obtained for free with the purchase of boxed versions of AMD’s Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 CPUs as well as systems on their base. Retail value of Quake Champions “Champions Pack” is $29.99.

Phone reviews? Seriously? All phones are the same made by the same Chinese guy full with apps by the same Indian guy. All of them can't hold a day of charge. All of them get hot. All of them shatter in peaces if dropped because Gorilla glass and you just have thrown a few hundred bucks down the toilet.Well, I just reviewed all phones past and future +/-5 years fdom now.

Those deals are good and performance sure is there but stock cards? Custom GPUs nowhere to be seen 3 months after Vega announcement. Pretty pathetic. Wonder how long it will take Raja to go sabbatical frenzy in Intel with his work this time.Stuka87 - Monday, November 27, 2017 - link
AMD, these deals are great. But please just let the AIB's release their cards. Many (myself included) do not want a reference card.Milldot044 - Thursday, December 7, 2017 - link
This isn't a "New" promotion, it's the same garbage they executed at launch. They briefly released a lot at retail prices early in November $499 and $399, which was quickly bought up. Amazon said restock expected by 28 November, that has come and gone with no new inventory. Has AMD solely gone to selling Vega chips to AIB sales?
