AMD's Next Never Settle Bundle Rumored to Include Battlefield 4

Posted 03/29/2013 at 10:13am | by Paul Lilly

Look for a new batch of games in AMD's next Never Settle bundle.

As if gamers with aging GPUs need another reason to upgrade their graphics card, game bundles from Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) have been providing extra incentive, and more importantly (for AMD), tempting users away from Nvidia. The next "Never Settle" bundle from AMD may include Battlefield 4, which would make perfect sense after the Sunnyvale chip designer demoed the title running on a new Malta Radeon HD 7990 graphics card.

Meet the newest sub-$200 graphics card from Nvidia.

Sure, we'd all love to game on multiple top-shelf graphics cards, and while we're making a money-is-no-object wishlist, a toilet made of gold would be pimp as well. Most of us can't afford such luxuries, so we sit our backsides on porcelain and game on less expensive graphics cards. Luckily there are options, and if you have less than $200 to spend on a GPU, Nvidia hopes you'll consider its new GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost.

The latest graphics card driver from AMD offers double digit performance gains in some instances.

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) no longer offers monthly Catalyst driver updates like it used to, instead choosing to dish out new drivers when it makes sense to do so. Now is apparently one of those times. AMD Catalyst 13.3 enters its third beta as it nears release, and if you're itching to upgrade your software, the latest beta build will reward you with performance gains and fixes in a handful of titles.

It's a pretty handy website and it's now open to the public.

Zotac Tweaks GeForce GTX 680 AMP! Edition to Run Cooler and Quieter

A new "Dual Silencer" cooling system and game bundle have been added to Zotac's GTX 680 AMP! Edition card.

Zotac on Wednesday announced a "refined" version of its GeForce GTX 680 AMP! Edition (ZT-60105-10P) graphics card, which at first we thought that meant it would come dressed in a fancy suit and speak with a British accent -- chip chip cherio and all that jazz. Even better, Zotac was referring to a new and enhanced "Dual Silencer" cooling solution and game bundle that includes Assassin's Creed III.

Has the "Gaming Supercomputer" era officially begun?

CyberPower PC is certainly excited about the release of Nvidia's GeForce GTX Titan graphics card, as are many other boutique system builders. Not only is Titan a, well, titan in the GPU space, it's also based on architecture that's been used in several supercomputers. This fact has led CyberPower to declare this the "Gaming Supercomputer" era, which for CyberPower actually begins on February 21, which is when customers will be able to configure Titan in new builds.

The Titan's reduced length makes it an ideal fit for small form factor (SFF) gaming rigs.

Nvidia today unleashed its GeForce GTX Titan graphics card, which is supposed to offer nearly the same performance as its dual-GPU GTX 690 (check out our Titan preview). Equally remarkable is that Nvidia was able to shorten the length of the card by an inch, reduce noise output, and keep temperatures in check. Put it all together and you have a potent card destined for SFF systems, a point that wasn't lost on Digital Storm.

Score up to $150 of in-game credit when you buy a GeForce GTX 660 or higher videocard.

Here's an interesting nugget Nvidia dug up to support its latest upgrade promotion. According to the latest Steam hardware survey, 36 million gamers don't own a strong enough graphics card to play World of Tanks, Hawken, or Planetside 2 at 1920x1080 with High settings. The reason Nvidia chose to focus on those three free-to-play (F2P) play titles is because it's offering $75-$150 of in-game credit when you upgrade to a qualifying GeForce graphics card from a participating vendor.
