Bethesda's space-themed role-playing epic is just weeks away from launch. So, what better time to wheel out some Starfield-branded PC clobber? AMD clearly thinks so. We give you the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D Starfield Limited Edition CPU and AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX Starfield Limited Edition graphics card.
Oh, and sorry, but no you can't buy one.
To be more precise, that's the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D Starfield Limited Edition Box. For the CPU, the specialness is limited to the box, which isn't a huge surprise given the limited opportunity for jazzing up a CPU package set to sit under a big ol' cooler.
Significantly more effort has gone into the GPU, replete as it is with obligatory storm- trooper-sci-fi white cladding for the cooler. The card is also peppered with lots of little nods to the Starfield tie-in. So, there's text that reads «Graphic Booster Propellant» and «Flight Crew», along with the VAS-119 designation from the game's VASCO heavy-lifting robot.
Either way, I say again, you can't actually buy them. Because AMD is giving them away at a series of events beginning with Quakecon, which is taking place in Texas as we type these very words.
AMD says, «with just 500 graphics cards and CPUs being produced, they're bound to be the most sought-after collector's items in the cosmos.» With only 1,000 items in total, there aren't that many to go around. Though that's notably more than the Halo-themed RX 6900 XT cards it gave away last time around.
