Why settle for space, when you can go Beyond Earth too (but only if you go to Hawaii)!
The Never Settle promotion launched itself into space a couple of months ago, but AMD isn't settling for that. If you purchase a Hawaii-based graphics card (R9 290, R9 290X, or R9 295X2) then you will get a free copy of Civilization: Beyond Earth on top of the choice of three games (or game packs) from the Never Settle Space Gold Reward tier. Beyond Earth makes a lot of sense of course, because it is a new game that is also one of the most comprehensive implementations of Mantle yet.
To be eligible, the purchase would need to be made starting November 6th (which is today). Make sure that you check to make sure that what you're buying is a "qualifying purchase" from "participating retailers", because that is a lot of value to miss in a moment of carelessness.
AMD has not specified an end date for this promotion.

And Nvidia could come up with a video card that doesn’t suckle vampire loads when in “sleep” mode. While I think saving 30% when gaming for 2hr’s is nice, however the constant suckling of 5W while a computer sits doing nothing 85% of a months’ time is much more commendable.

Um it doesn’t use much more
Um it doesn’t use much more power then AMD ones do at idle. In most sites review, but any extra it uses is negated by how much less it uses at load.
