AMD Taiwan Makes Starfield Ryzen & Radeon Bundles Official, Promo Starting July 11
Last week Bethesda announced AMD as its exclusive partner for Starfield on the PC platform, although the short video presentation did not tease upcoming hardware/software bundles. Details of a Ryzen 7000-series CPUs promotional campaign emerged seven days later thanks to a mini-store page appearing on Newegg's retail site. The Starfield promo was not active at the time, but AMD Taiwan has made it official that the event will be going live on July 11 (at least in that territory).
According to the freshly published event site their offer will be running until September 30, and product serial numbers will not be redeemable after October 28. Eligible hardware includes the aforementioned Ryzen 7000 processor family, as well as Radeon GPUs. Thankfully Team Red has made sure to make a significant number of RDNA 2 models eligible for the Starfield incentive, with the entry point being RX 6600. All discrete RDNA 3 cards qualify—starting with RX 7600 and jumping up to the expensive RX 7900 XT and 7900 XTX GPUs. AMD Taiwan's info graphics show a two tier system—Standard Edition (NT$1990) applies to buyers of Ryzen 5/7 7000 series CPUs or Radeon 6600 through 7600 cards. Premium Edition (NT$2890) will grant a 5-day early access period—exclusive to buyers of Ryzen 9 7000 CPUs or Radeon cards starting at RX 6700.
AMD is proud to announce that we are Bethesda's exclusive PC partner for the next-generation role-playing game, Starfield. Watch this special announcement video to learn how AMD and Bethesda are working together to bring the galaxy to all players this September:

BOOM, gottem
Maybe they should create a game based on the player slaying bugs..... That would be kinda fitting for them but the Starship Troopers franchise is right out since someone has already beaten them to the punch for it.
Do you remember how well Cyberdisaster 2077 was presented and eveyrthing will be great. So many things to do, live city in day and night? I wonder, where did that go.
AMD - Last of us, Calisto protocol....etc. now works better on Nvidia than AMD all maxed out
Imagine Starfield needing RTX 4090 and DLSS frame generation to hit 60 fps at 1440p and consuming 400-500W GPU alone for this, no thanks!
There should benchmark game engines and game graphics at how good they look for the amount of power they consume.
But then I have to quote (paraphrase) BeatEmUps "Im afraid the bugs will overshadow the complete nothing this game is"
And it seems that is exactly what happened, bugs simply took the brunt of the bad press and bugs can be fixed...but everything that was suppose to make this game a revolution....never came to be, its still inferior to many games that came out over 2 decades ago and honestly the effort it would take to make it anything special now is not even worth it.....
Then there is CD2077 - emm, what to do in that game? :D. Drive from one point to another point?
Yeah, people are forgiving and letting them go by with their many, many lies...
Best part, many things will be added in dlc upcoming this summer (should be, but not believing them), which should be in the game since launch. Three years later they have not added those things to the game which they said will be there and proudly presented/talked about them. And now they want again for people to spend their money on dlc to get the things which should be since the start. It is funny and people are pre-ordering again.
But when something happens that blocks your progression, that's when it becomes a real problem.
I have to say that I've never had any game breaking bugs with Fallout 3, NV or 4. And I played all of those at launch. Never played any of the Elder Scrolls games, though.
If you have free time - check this out. There are many videos which shows the start and how the devs and managers look at theit customers.
Skyrim was buggy mess as well and it took community to make the game playable...
Why, appart from streamers, do people buy pc games on day one? Isn't there good "polished" games enough to fill the patch time-gap?
I really dont' get it.
Innovation is the key to success. It appears to me that the lies being thrown out there are just as bad as everywhere else in the industry.
Hypocrite.
