AMD giveaway: Five Monster Hunter Wilds-themed Radeon RX 9070XT GPUs up for grabs
Gamers looking to score a current-gen GPU without having to pay the exorbitant price tags that both Team Red and Team Green are charging, especially when it comes to the mid/high range end of the spectrum, have a small smidgen of hope thanks to a recently announced giveaway from AMD.
AMD’s giveaway, which is titled ‘AMD x Monster Hunter Wilds Sweepstakes’ on its giveaway page, is a multi-country affair and is open to residents of North America, Europe, the United Kingdom, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, India, and Indonesia and offers as many as 5 of the limited edition ASRock Radeon RX 9070 XT Monster Hunter Wilds Edition 16GB GPUs to lucky participants.
This is not the first giveaway or promotion from AMD related to Monster Hunter: World, with the Santa Clara, California-based chip designer previously offering a free copy of the title with select CPUs, GPUs, and AMD-powered laptops earlier this year.
AMD’s RX 9070 XT GPU is arguably one of the best value-for-money graphics cards on the market, which makes a strong case for itself by offering not only a generous 16GB of GDDR6 RAM, solid performance, and a design that requires only 2 8-pin power connectors.
AMD’s RX 9070 XT competes directly with Nvidia’s RTX 5070 and RTX 5070Ti, sitting comfortably between the two in terms of performance, even as it edges out the former and matches the latter in terms of VRAM availability.
It also happens to be the fastest AMD RDNA 4 GPU out there currently - AMD does not directly address Nvidia’s RTX 5080 or RTX 5090 GPUs with an RDNA 4-based solution at the moment.The giveaway currently has 14 days left at the time of writing and is on track to hit 1.5 million entries, with users able to score a potential maximum of 1200 entries via the giveaway page that involves following AMD, ASRock, and Monster Hunter on social media.
Winners will be notified within 7 days and have a total of 5 days to claim their prizes, with a footnote from AMD noting that ‘VAT/GST/Import tax is sole responsibility of winner’, something that could be troublesome for US-based entrants, given how the current ongoing tariff war between the US and China continues to escalate.
