AMD Bundles Dead Island 2 and The Callisto Protocol with Radeon RX 6000 Series

In a bid to clear inventory of its Radeon RX 6000 series RDNA2 graphics cards in the lead up to its next-generation, AMD is bundling two of the latest AAA game titles. Besides this, the company has significantly lowered prices of its RX 6000 series over several months now. The company is bundling "Dead island 2," and "The Callisto Protocol" with new purchases of Radeon RX 6000 graphics cards.

New purchases of the Radeon RX 6600, RX 6600 XT, RX 6650 XT, RX 6700, RX 6700 XT, RX 6750 XT, RX 6800, RX 6800 XT, RX 6900 XT, and RX 6950 XT, will receive both games. New purchases of the RX 6500 XT and RX 6400 will receive just "Dead Island 2." The bundle is only available in select markets, and through participating retailers. Find where you can grab it, from the source link below.

Thanks for the warning. In other words, anyone that's interested in these AMD sponsored titles, it's best not to own any NVIDIA card. e.g. Dirt5, Godfall, etc.

I'm surprised AMD even advertises the 6800 xt still, they haven't had a reference 6800 xt on sale on their official store in like a year. lol

there are still no 6800 xt's and the 6800 is very rare at a good price anywhere, even a month ago.

AMD seems to have shifted production to the lower variants. which was probably genius, all things considered since Nvidia isn't bringing low end for a long time.

Turds are actually quite fun to play with if you are a baby.

I'm not sure if these are the ones you're referencing. Also, I don't know your location either, but in the US...

6800 - a.co/d/j4VqRaQ
6800XT - a.co/d/iB4h5d9

No need to buy the 6800XT when you can get the 6900XT at the same price from AMD - www.amd.com/en/direct-buy/5458372200/us

Guwapo77Damn that is cheap. Ain't no way I'd ever by an AssRock as those things are hideous.
Hideous yes but the 6950 OCF uses the highest binned N21 chip currently available on air and the VRM layout is ludicrous

I'm old school; my case has a solid side panel so despite my distaste for RGB, I don't care about its looks.

Said screw it and just ordered the MSI Gaming X Trio with the extra $20 off promo and $20 rebate. Feels unreal getting one of these for $759.99.

Well it doesnt help that the last year or two has been a bland beige wasteland of releases. If there were some GOOD games coming out people would probably be all over it.

Beauty is int he eye of the beholder, a square GPU looks way better then the crazy transformer bricks some are making.

And performance is WAY more important then looks, and the challenger D (which is cheaper) is phenomenal.

I'd gladly take the lower end...I'm not doing any arts and crafts project just to get it inside my PC.

How much performance are we talking? Three or four frames @ 1440p and one or two 2160p?
