Is it worth going for a Radeon 7790 at this point (for £85)?

Since literally everyone is saying "no 7790" I won't get one. I'm glad I asked first

Can someone explain what this Never Settle Forever AMD thing is? It claims to give me two free games, and I can't find any list of the games anywhere. http://www.aria.co.uk/amd/never-settle-forever

7950 7970 give you a gold tier reward for a choice of 3 games.

7800 series give you a silver tier reward for a choice of 2.

7790 7770 give you 1 choice in bronze tier.

 

You have to purchase from selected retailers, the retailer will give you the reward code :) Participating retailers are listed if you scroll down. It's the same for US/UK.

They are still adding games, they've hinted battlefield 4 upcoming later possibly in December.

So I'm looking at silver tier and I am underwhelmed.

There are two 2013 titles on there and one is DLC (Blood Dragon). The others are 2012 or older (and I own all of the good ones from there), and two of them are Dirt games. The only one from that list I would want is DMC, and even then I don't have any great desire to play it.

I remember when trasharmdsister bought his new card, they gave him BioShock Infinite (at launch). Does Nvidia have better deals on these or something?

Bioshock infinite and crysis 3 were being given away about 3 months ago before they changed it to this bundle. From what I've gathered the roster is constantly changing and expanding. Saints row 4 was just added this month.

Nvidia is currently offering Arkham origins for their 660/670/680 760/770/780 GT series card.

AMD is known for their game bundles. They are official battlefield 4 partners and hinted it upcoming addition to the roster.
