AMD Enables Gamers Rewards Program
AMD today announced the AMD Rewards program powered by Raptr, giving AMD Radeon graphics and AMD APU-based PC gamers the chance to redeem points earned within the AMD Gaming Evolved application for prizes.
"We are thankful for the millions of gamers that support the AMD Radeon brand by using the AMD Gaming Evolved application Powered by Raptr," said Darren McPhee, director, Graphics Marketing, AMD. "The AMD Rewards program is our way of thanking our loyal customers and giving back to the community that has given so much to us."
The AMD Gaming Evolved App helps gamers get the best experience every time they play by recommending optimal game settings tailored to their rig; keeping their drivers up to date; and through a diverse set of in-game tools like chat, web-browsing, live-streaming, and through the new AMD Rewards loyalty program. Players can earn points by using the app to play their favorite games, optimize setting for those games, or engage with the community. Those points can be redeemed for AMD Rewards in the Raptr store.
At launch, gamers will be able to redeem points for prizes, such as: Sapphire Technology Radeon R9 Series graphics cards, and tons of free games, ASTRO gaming headsets, GameFly subscriptions, GUNNAR gaming eyewear, discounts and more. AMD Rewards Program is an extension to the broader Raptr Rewards program, which has already given out millions of dollars' worth of rewards.
"We see AMD Rewards as a natural extension of what Raptr Rewards does for gamers," Dennis Fong, Raptr's CEO, explained. "It's really great to be able to reward players for all the time and effort they've invested in playing games."
To see a list of the prizes and learn more about participating in the Raptr AMD Rewards program, visithttp://raptr.com/amd.

AMD have the best development method ever. They wait for Nvidia to come up with an idea then they steal it. Genius!

If they were like other companies are these days they'd patent nVidia's ideas then sue them.

pretty sure both amd and nvidia have 'embraced' gamers...you know, considering they're behind all the graphic cards?

It seems like this is AMD's equivalent of Nvidia's GeForce Experience but we'll see.

Second time you are plugging that site, you wouldn't be sneaky advertising it would you ?

was a member from the beta days then last week they changed the rewards system and points, everyone lost 2/3rds of thier points accumulated. I was on 10k almost. That got reduced to 3k, not a happy bunny
most of the goals to get free things are almost unobtainable unless you spam there forums/ stream on twitchtv, and optimise games according to the community settings (which was always way too low for my setup.) I now need to play until im 50 to get anything worth something for free. SO I uninstalled. some people say they were mining data off the community with such an enticing free rewards system (id like to think they were wrong) but alot of people have unistalled also.

Your comment is Genius......not!
Nvidia can´t create new technologys without failing. At last we can say we have good luck if AMD comes and make open Standarts for all.
Look at 3Dfx, they havent any good words about their technology, but they was the first one buy it.
Look at Agaia, the Game industry and Nvidia laughing about their physic technics which noboy needs, but see who was the first one buy it.
Look at GPU Compute, ATI did the first step with Apple for going to OpenCL, soon we saw Cuda.
Look at G-Sync, they sell expansive Hardware for crappy TN Displays, look who make a open standart without extra Hardware for every Monitor which have Displayport 1.3, doesnt matter if use IPS, PLS or MVA Displays, thx AMD.
Who buy Uli for doing Chipsets for Mainboards?
Who buy Hybrid Graphics for Mobile Device?
Who buy Portalplayers for makeing Tegra chips?
Who buy Mental Image GmbH for Raytracing Technology on GPU Rendering?
Nvidia did.
so GTFO

That nvida can't create much, so they rather buy and make closed standards.
Which I understand to a point, but to see crippling on purpose and disabling stuff is kinda funny xD
