AMD today announced the latest iteration of its "Raise the Game" bundle, in a move likely designed to counter NVIDIA's recent announcement of bundling "Battlefield 2042" with prebuilts. AMD is working with select OEM and SI partners to bundle "Far Cry 6" and "Resident Evil Village" with select gaming notebooks and desktops that use AMD products. These would be products with a AMD Ryzen 5000 series or 3000 series processor, and AMD Radeon RX 6000 graphics. The bundle gets you the Standard Editions of the both games, as described in the eligibility table below. As is to be expected, the bundle is limited to select markets, and through participating retailers.

Who can afford AMD powered PC now? Will be cheaper to buy those games separately...

I just looked through some of the systems and the prices are very asinine, costing more than my pickup truck is worth.

I've been trying to get a 6800/xt reference card for MSRP for seemingly forever. I think the AIB cartel is fixing prices and suppressing available stock for gamers, similar to how the DRAM cartel was caught doing the same several times over the years. Availability of the new Radeons at MSRP is so bad that I bought my first new Nvidia card since GTX 460, an RTX 3080 at MSRP.

But on the bright side, I recently have figured out how to inject AMD FSR into my games using the Lossless Scaling software from Steam. It seems to have breathed new life into my Vega 56 and 64 cards which struggle at native 4K. I'm going to test that application over a lot of devices and game engines, but so far it's very promising. The $5 version is way better than the freebie version which doesn't let you customize any of the settings.

Consider yourself blessed! The only way I was able to get the cards I needed was by paying well over the MSRP, lol. Its enough to even frustrate the Dalai Lama and provoke him to punch someone square in the nuts. :banghead:

Great but FC6 isn't even released and it was already as a Ryzen 5000 bundle just after its premiere. RE was added to something too as I remember.

I guess they know that there's zero need for them to incentivize sales of graphics cards any more, so now you have to buy an entire system to get "free" games. Sad!
