Bethesda’s space-themed role-playing epic is simply weeks away from launch. So, what higher time to wheel out some Starfield-branded PC clobber? AMD clearly thinks so. We provide the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D Starfield Restricted Version CPU and AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX Starfield Restricted Version graphics card.
Oh, and sorry, however no you’ll be able to’t purchase one.
To be extra exact, that is the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D Starfield Restricted Version Field. For the CPU, the specialness is proscribed to the field, which is not an enormous shock given the restricted alternative for jazzing up a CPU package deal set to take a seat below an enormous ol’ cooler.
Considerably extra effort has gone into the GPU, replete as it’s with compulsory storm- trooper-sci-fi white cladding for the cooler. The cardboard can be peppered with a lot of little nods to the Starfield tie-in. So, there’s textual content that reads “Graphic Booster Propellant” and “Flight Crew”, together with the VAS-119 designation from the sport’s VASCO heavy-lifting robotic.
Both approach, I say once more, you’ll be able to’t truly purchase them. As a result of AMD is giving them away at a collection of occasions starting with Quakecon, which is happening in Texas as we sort these very phrases.
AMD says, “with simply 500 graphics playing cards and CPUs being produced, they’re certain to be essentially the most sought-after collector’s gadgets within the cosmos.” With only one,000 gadgets in whole, there aren’t that many to go round. Although that is notably greater than the Halo-themed RX 6900 XT playing cards it gave away final time round.
Anyway, in accordance with the official system necessities for the sport, the CPU and GPU pairing qualifies for “Legendary” 4K efficiency. Which is good.
It is price noting that the Starfield tie-in extends past these ultra-limited merchandise. A spread of AMD CPUs and GPUs are at present being bought with the sport thrown in. Within the UK, there is a significantly whole lot proper now with the 7800X3D CPU going for £379 on Amazon with Starfield thrown in.
Think about Starfield’s normal £69.99 worth and also you’re getting the CPU for £310 in case you had been going to purchase the sport anyway. Good. Again within the US, the 7800X3D does not look fairly such a steal at $441 plus tax.
