AMD & Capcom Reveal Monster Hunter Wilds Game Bundle
Earlier today, the AMD Rewards website was updated with a new marketing promotion—standard edition digital copies of Capcom's Monster Hunter Wilds (due on February 28) will be bundled with qualifying purchases of select Ryzen processors, Radeon graphics card, as well as Team Red-powered gaming laptops. AMD's previous "Game Bundle Promotion" campaign rolled out last autumn—at the time, participating customers were gifted digital copies of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 and Unknown 9: Awakening. Unfortunately, the latest iteration grants access to a single AAA title. Multiple hardware and gaming news outlets have advised prospective buyers to make use of the Monster Hunter Wilds PC performance benchmark utility; in preparation for the game's full release. Preview builds have reportedly brought fairly potent test systems to their knees.
Curiously, AMD's list of eligible products does not include any desktop (AM5) 3D V-Cache models—a glaring omission, given the nature of this promotion. Instead, various standard SKUs are listed; at the top we spotted their Ryzen 9 9950X CPU. The cheapest options seem to be the Ryzen 5 9600X and Ryzen 7 7700 (non-X) models. Qualifying graphics card options are restricted to the Radeon RX 7000 series; there is no mention of next-gen candidates—terms could be amended later this week; AMD will be presenting its new Radeon RX 9070 series on February 28. Team Red board partners are expected to reveal their respective participations with this Monster Hunter Wilds promo campaign; Sapphire—a well regarded AIB—announced its involvement, as of this afternoon. Interestingly, ASUS has introduced a similar marketing initiative, also involving Capcom and its popular Monster Hunter franchise.
VideoCardz and Tom's Hardware have kindly extracted lists of qualifying products.

I bought my 9900X like the week before last lol
I will grab it at Christmas for 20 bucks :)
And they want to push Ryzen9000 non-X3D, since very few people buy it.
For next time, I need to see a schedule or something, so if someone on the inside has a hookup.. :laugh:
Looks like the X3D and APU models are not included along with the upcoming RX 9070 series. Probably to make the older stock look appealing.It's actually the 9600X on Amazon US:
The X3d Processors are also missing / 7500f / 7400f
Anyway you need a seller which is in the list. And those sellers are sometimes asking for a premium.
I am just asking :oops:
