In brief: Nvidia and AMD are currently running promotional bundles almost concurrently from February through April. High-end RTX 50-series graphics cards purchased from participating retailers will include a copy of Resident Evil Requiem, while high-end Ryzen 9000 CPUs, Radeon RX 9000 GPUs, and Ryzen APUs include keys for Crimson Desert.
Team Green's deal applies to desktop and laptop variants of the GeForce RTX 5070, 5070 Ti, 5080, and 5090, as well as pre-built desktops containing the cards. Resident Evil Requiem's somewhat modest system requirements – it recommends just an RTX 2060 – suggest that all participating GPUs should achieve high frame rates.
However, it remains unclear how the RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti will handle the game's implementation of path tracing. Benchmarks of prior path-traced games, such as Doom: The Dark Ages, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and Cyberpunk 2077, suggest that implementing optimized graphics settings and DLSS can bring path tracing within reach of the two mid-range GPUs, especially at 1080p or 1440p. Users with high-refresh-rate monitors will also benefit from multi-frame generation.
The deal runs from February 10 to March 16. Receiving the game key requires running the Nvidia App with the participating hardware installed. Customers have until April 16 to redeem the code from Nvidia.
Meanwhile, AMD's promotion for Crimson Desert, the extremely ambitious open-world RPG from Black Desert Online developer Pearl Abyss, applies to numerous CPUs, GPUs, and laptop APUs purchased between February 10 and April 25. Only two Radeon cards are eligible: the RX 9070 and 9070 XT. Alternatively, shoppers might be able to claim both bundles by pairing an RTX 50-series graphics card with a Ryzen 7 9800X3D, 9850X3D, Ryzen 9 9900X3D, or 9950X3D.
Ryzen 7 9850X3D processors purchased before February 10 are also eligible. Owners should check their email inboxes or log in to Team Red's reward portal to confirm whether they have already earned a code.
The bundle also includes laptops featuring Ryzen 7000HX, 8000HX, 9000HX, 9000HX3D, AI Max, AI 7 300, AI 9 300, or AI 400 series processors. AMD's website lists several eligible models from Acer, Asus, HP, Lenovo, MSI, Gigabyte, and Razer.
Customers must open an account at the rewards portal and run a product verification tool on a PC with the participating hardware installed before May 23 to receive a key for Crimson Desert. All of the listed desktop chips easily exceed the game's recommended system requirements, but performance in 4K remains unclear.
Resident Evil Requiem will be available on Steam, the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series Consoles, and Nintendo Switch 2 on February 27. Crimson Desert launches on Steam, the Epic Games Store, the Microsoft Store, the Mac App Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series consoles on March 19. The Nvidia and AMD bundles grant Steam copies of each game.
