Query about AMD's never settle forever bundle.

B

Hi,
I have a question.
I intend to purchase an AMD 7950 GPU from amazon.com and ship it to a friend of mine who is currently in the US. It will cost me about 210$.
My friend shall return to India next month, then I shall collect that GPU from him.

My question is :

1.Is AMD's Never Settle Forever Bundle valid in India?
2.Will I be eligible for AMD's never settle forever bundle?
3.If yes, then can I redeem the game codes (for Radeon Gold Reward) in India, or will i have to ask my friend to redeem it while he is in the US?
4. Once I get the game keys, where will I get the game? On steam? (I have a steam account.)

1. Yes but the indian cheap retailers dont give us the coupons
2. Yes.
3. Yes you will be able to redeem.
4. The games supported on steam = steam keys
Games supported by origin = origin key

1. Yes. It is included within the package itself. Got nothing to do with retailers.
2. Yes.
3. Yes.
4. Steam games on steam. origin games on origin.

dont know about intl warranty..
But amd never settle forever bundle gives you some free games with purchase of graphics card.

EVGA only offers international warranty on GPUS but they manufacture only Nvidia gpu based graphic cards.

Yeah, i saw on NEWEGG nd was amazed to found!!!
So is it that in INDIA we dont get free games (going through few brands i found nothing on FK)???

Then i guess there's no use of getting it from outside (as i heard Sapphire's are best)
Out of curiosity.. when someone brings in component like Proc or GPU do he have to pay to Custom's or 1 or 2 things are allowed to carry in???

I think you're good upto products worth ~25k .. if possible just throw away the box and say you bought it for personal use / got it as a gift

.. anyway, amazon takes care of custom things very nicely and will present you with a total shipping cost including everything. One more advantage of buying sapphire products in here is they offer 3 years warranty which is 2 years globally / in most countries.

Ok, but i dont think its wise to get from Amazon for the very same reason "no intl. warranty".
First we pay more, second we dont even get free games WTF??!!

i was thinking of r9 280x cuz my budget was 300$
but i have a 500w psu.
and r9 270x was in my mind but its rebrander 7870

in my opinion u should w8 for "r" series to hit market completely coz then there would be a significant price drop in these cards.

Is these sound any good

MSI R9 270X HAWK Graphics Card
MSI AMD Radeon R9 280X, 3GB GDDR5, PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card R9 280X GAMING 3G
