AMD Unveils "Three for Free" Offer for Radeon HD 7900 Series
We are not new to AMD and NVIDIA bundling games and software in retail-channel graphics cards sold across all AIB partners. The most recent of these was DiRT 3 bundled by various AMD Radeon models. The latest such offer is dubbed "Three for Free", and is aimed at making getting a Radeon HD 7900 series graphics card a more juicy deal, on top of price cuts.
"Three for Free" is a bundle of three new PC game titles that are part of AMD Game ecosystem, which consists of DiRT Showdown, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and Nexuiz. All new batches of Radeon HD 7900 series graphics cards sold by various partners, that's Radeon HD 7950 and Radeon HD 7970, will include a coupon with product keys for the three games, which can be redeemed on Steam as digital downloads. This offer is already active in the Europe, and will come soon to North America.

If you don't have deus ex, you are totally missing out.
Would be nicer if they included some newer games... or if they would use older games, then if they had more than just those three options. NV usually gives you one free game, but you get to pick.
As they probably know that their dual GPU's 7990 won't beat the up coming Nvidia GTX690 , maybe?
Anyhow nice package deal for people that can afford these cards... i guess?
That's a pretty sweet deal on top of the price cuts.
If anything, NV are now being greedy (or the retailers are) by keeping 680 prices so high.
As for the 7990 versus 690 it's hard to call. I can't recall where but some site did a crossfire versus sli review and the results were neck and neck. Found this though:

I would have bought Deus Ex 3 already if I did not wanted to complete the older Deus Ex games first :P
Umm Crossfire destroy's SLI ..

I have an 2500k @ 4.5ghz/6970 Crossfire
I tried to run the game on Ultra and it felt like 20 fps, forced AFR and zero improvement.
the Netcode sucks, They have a disclaimer that this is a Beta so...
Someone needs to pick up the slack and get this game some damn drivers!!
the game looks slightly better than UT3 and it runs horrid!!!
