AMD Taiwan Makes Starfield Ryzen & Radeon Bundles Official, Promo Starting July 11

[T0@st]

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:

Buy AMD , get for free buggy mess - awesome.

 

[Fluffmeister]

Hopefully money well spent for AMD, but that remains to be seen.

So the usual then?

BOOM, gottem

Probably yes and no, depending on who you ask

Bethesda game without bugs - waste of time and money.

 

[THU31]

Can I buy it in a bundle with DLSS?

 

[Bones]

The challenge of a Bethesda game isn't about beating it, its dealing with all the bugs in it.

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.

 

[Bomby569]

the gamepass 1$ deal is back, no need for that

I love how the first comment is completely blind to the fact that a lot of the news has been about making sure that Starfield specifically releases strong/without such a mess.

 

[Garrus]

It is the most anticipated PC game of the entire year. What more can you ask for, there isn't any other game more wanted than this one.

People can say what ever they want. About bugs. You are open to check their previous titles how well they went with releases. Nothing new is expected. Bug fest.

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.

 

[Luminescent]

Nvidia - Witcher 3 next gen update - RTX 4090 need it for all maxed
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.

Worst thing about Cyberpunk is how forgiving people are imo, so many say "well its mostly fixed now so you have a better experience"
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.....

CD2077 (cyberdisaster) is and will be disaster game. Sadly many game developers still do it and follows CDPR path.... Yeah, we will finish it later. Well, i have not purchased cyberdisaster and I'm glad that I have not supported them this whole time. I can compare almost all CD2077 game to GTA V. In GTA you have much more to do, fun game, multiplayer, mini games, vehicle tuning, many weapons, customization, interactive world. What you get in CB2077 and most likely in Starfield as well(i do hope not that it will be that bad in Starfield). Linear - boring game.

Then there is CD2077 - emm, what to do in that game? . 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.

If this bundle comes in my country and at stores with normal pricing, I am upgrading my RX 580 to an RX 6600 (still hate stagnating at 8GBs after so many years). Unfortunately RX 7600 doesn't look as an upgrade over 6000 series. We might see AMD making a Frame Generation competitor available only at 7000 series but again, with a card like 7600 might not make much sense anyway and I am not going to pay over 200 euros for 8GBs.

Bugs are fun, when they're not game breaking. Like when an object goes flying into orbit, or a character starts twitching, sliding or spinning in circles. I definitely laugh at that.

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.

Last game I played from Bethseda was fallout 76. Oh my lord. You have missed a lot of stuff and how long it took for them to get tge game to playable level... Even their campaign with pre-order deluxe editions was disaster.

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...

I just got Jedi: FO for free with my 7800X3D. It seems I'm gonna have to buy another AMD product soon just to get Starfield for free, too.

 

[KLMR]

Its easier to spend on "good" hype marketing than on good programmers and development management. The more you say it will not be a mess the bigger the problem they have.

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.

I'm doing the same. I bought the 7800X3D last week, so oh well, guess I'll have to buy a Radeon card too

This is BullSh!t. Instead of fixing their damned drivers and more on R&D, Dr. Su has decided to keep continuing this anti competitive practice of using OLD tech (Infinity Fabric) and CLOSED Garden techniques to insure the bottom line of profitability.

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.

 

[regs]

This is not worldwide. It's not like it used to be a paper with code inside the box. It will be limited to a few store in a few countries that will have a special store promotion.

 

[Mawkzin]

This for anyone in any country?

And you say nvidia is not anticompetitive?

Hypocrite.
