Not sure about bundling games with monitors and mobo's. At least with video cards, you know with reasonable certainty the person is gonna use it. What percentage of ppl buying monitors or mobos do it explicitly for gaming? Even SSDs is a stretch.
Back in the day, playing Doom 3 on a bigger diagonal was one of motivations to buy a new monitor for me, so it probably does happen sometimes. But motherboards?
I've been trying to decide between the 480x and the 1060... guess I'm getting the Radeon. I didn't even know they were making a civ6.. the Beyond Earth one didn't really have a lot of re-playability but I checked this one out and HMMMM... yes, I do believe I want that.

Nice. I was looking to buy a 960 EVO anyway. I'll sell the game code to recoup some of the cost. :)Makaveli - Friday, November 18, 2016 - link
The Doom promotion should be tied to a Zen month board and pushed back a few months.who is going to buy a AM3 socket board now??
plopke - Friday, November 18, 2016 - link
Well i guess that the entire point of this , to try push some AM3 board out of inventory ;prenz496 - Saturday, November 19, 2016 - link
They know some people will be holding back and wait for Zen. It is exactly why they bundle Doom with their current product.A5 - Saturday, November 19, 2016 - link
Also it's already been on sale for $20, it probably doesn't cost AMD much.ImSpartacus - Monday, November 21, 2016 - link
The whole point of a bundle is to move undesirable inventory.PuterPro - Monday, November 28, 2016 - link
Yeah, like the 960 Pro NVMe ... quite undesirable.The point is to sell more product.

Should add nvidia to the tittle. Nvidia also giving Watch Dogs 2 free (soon?) with 1080/1070 purchase.cygnus1 - Saturday, November 19, 2016 - link
The 27" CFG70 is 1080p. You can see the resolution on the Samasung site if you use the compare tool and compare it to the 24"just4U - Saturday, November 19, 2016 - link
