Get Far Cry 5 Free With Select Radeon Powered Gaming PCs
It is tough to buy individual graphics cards these days thanks to the cryptocurrency boom, but you can still find pre-built systems stuffed with high-end graphics cards to purchase. This is bad for the DIY enthusiast market, but the truth is buying a pre-built system often costs less than building a system with the same parts yourself. If you happen to be in the market for a new system or high-end graphics cards we just learned about a new deal that might be of interest to you.
Starting today, February 27th, you can get Far Cry 5 for FREE when they buy select pre-built systems featuring AMD Radeon RX Vega 64, Radeon RX Vega 56 or Radeon RX 580 graphics cards! The AMD promotion will run until May 20th, 2018 and should help drive some sales with this popular game title. Far Cry 5 will be released on March 27th, 2018 and you won’t be able to redeem the game certificate prior to the games release.

AMD has worked closely with Ubisoft on Far Cry 5 and this title will be launching with game optimized Radeon Software Adrenaline Edition drivers. AMD noted that playing Far Cry 5 on their hardware and software will allow for exceptional image quality, stunningly high frame rates and low latency. This game title will be supporting several advanced Radeon RX Vega-specific features, including:
- Rapid Packed Math Doubles the rate of compute to allow for faster physics and compute calculations on Vega GPUs (video on Rapid Packed Math)
- Shader Intrinsics Allows direct game to hardware access on Radeon RX cards to extract more performance from the GPU (Video on GPUOpen)
- Radeon FreeSync 2 Brings low-latency, high-brightness pixels and a wide color gamut to High Dynamic Range (HDR) content for PC displays
We’ve been waiting for AMD Radeon FreeSync 2 monitors since January 2017, so we can’t wait to experience this game title on a Radeon Vega graphics card feeding pixels to one of the new FreeSync 2 displays. With FreeSync 2 you’ll get the usual FreeSync technology that matches frame rates and refresh rates to prevent screen tearing topped off with Low Framerate Compensation and HDR. FreeSync 2 brings tighter standards to the table for the variable refresh monitor market and that is a good thing!
