AMD, Microsoft Collaborate in Limited Edition, Halo Infinite-Themed RX 6900 XT Graphics Card

Here it is: Microsoft and AMD have collaborated in a special, limited-edition Halo-themed graphics card. Putting the Halo in a halo product, the new release features a collaborative design between AMD and Microsoft, and deepens the link between both companies. The design takes its cues specifically from Halo's most recognizable character, The Master Chief - Spartan John-117. The custom card features a triple-fan cooling solution, customized with the military green and faceplate gold from the iconic Halo character. The backplate too screams the connections to Halo, with a 117 embossing and a LED-illuminated blue AI logo.

Microsoft also used the limited edition RX 6900 XT graphics card announcement to indicate that it is working closely with AMD to bring ray tracing to Halo infinite, saying that "Ray tracing is one our top development priorities post-launch and look forward to sharing more soon." Smartly, and perhaps learning from what happened with the retail release of the Halo infinite custom Xbox Series X console (which fell to scalpers in a matter of minutes), the new, limited edition graphics card won't be available for sale; instead, " AMD, Halo, and other partners will be offering players multiple opportunities over the coming weeks to get their hands on one." Look after the break for the teaser video of the product.

I'm not sure about the looks. I like my red devil look better. The color scheme with this one is not my thing.

"...the new, limited edition graphics card won't be available for sale..." says the article.
Cool, no more GPUs for the happy few, but a GPU for happy nobody.

I suppose you can immerse yourself harder on GPU pictures now. Looking on the bright side here.

Maybe he's just there for general balance, I don't know anymore :D There's this wall in Israel, people talk to that too, so, I suppose its somehow normal or accepted.
lesoversWell done "The Dee Gee" you have hooked a few with yee trolling!

I have the AMD reference 6900XT and it is by far the fastest and very quietest graphic card I have owned since the 90's when graphic cards had no fans. Tried a NVidia 3070 before upgrading to the 6900XT (in late 2020 when prices were much more sane) and just missed the vibrant and natural colours of the AMD cards in games and on the desktop.
Euhm... the AMD cards produce better colors is a very old story, are you sure its not your rose tinted glasses playing tricks on you? The input/output is digital and your monitor is what reproduces that data. This is straight up snake oil audiophile bs, and it existed long before both vendors started applying delta compression too.

Stay on topic.

ValantarIf you have issues with the production quality and execution of this video
Not to mention, it is not about the video but the product they are showcasing. Some people argue about irrelevant stuff. It's like judging a car showcase and don't like the car, because the lady showcasing the car on a display is not that persons type so the car sucks :p
