The R9 cards aren't the only ones getting some love, either. AMD is welcoming the Radeon R7 260X to the silver tier of its Never Settle Forever program, which entitles users to two games from a selection of 10 titles that now includes the upcoming Thief game. We've long known that AMD planned to freshen its Never Settle bundles with new games, and Thief is a good candidate. Like BF4, it's slated to use AMD's Mantle API. The game isn't due out until the end of February, though.
