AMD bundling R9 series cards with GTA 5 and DiRT Rally

Select partners and select retailers/e-tailers

While Nvidia has announced its Two Times The Adventure bundle with Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Batman: Arkham Knight, it was about time AMD introduces the new bundle which apparently includes Grand Theft Auto 5 and DiRT Rally games.

Spotted by Techreport.com at Newegg.com and hopefully soon extending to other regions as well, AMD is currently bundling certain Radeon R9 200 series graphics card with Grand Theft Auto 5 and DiRT Rally games. Since it was not officially announced by AMD as a gaming bundle, it is possible that this bundle is limited to certain AMD AIB partners and certain retailers/e-tailers, but we guess we will know for sure soon.

According to what can be seen at Newegg.com, Radeon R9 270, R9 270X, R9 280, as well as the flagship, dual-GPU Radeon R9 295X2, will come with DiRT Rally game while Hawaii-based Radeon R9 290 and R9 290X and even certain R9 280X graphics cards, such as Sapphire's R9 280X on Newegg.com, will come with both Grand Theft Auto 5 and DiRT Rally games.

It is possible that AMD is simply trying to add a bit more value to its existing Radeon R9 200 series lineup in order to get rid of the stock ahead of the rumored R9 300 series launch, scheduled for June but in any case, new buyers will be getting two sweet games for free.

AMD had a long history in bundling games from EA/DICE so you can expect that Star Wars: Battlefront could be a part of AMD's 300 series bundle.
