AMD to Give Away Starfield with Radeon RX 6000 series and RX 7000 series Graphics cards

[btarunr]

Starfield is the most hotly anticipated title of the season. The space-opera action RPG by Bethesda has a high degree of optimization for AMD hardware, including Ryzen 7000 processors and Radeon RX GPUs, with AMD even announcing special edition SKUs of its processors and graphics cards. The company formally launched its Radeon RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT graphics cards today, with product availability slated for September 6. You know what else is coming up on that day? Starfield! AMD announced that both RX 6000 series and RX 7000 series will include the game. Competitive pricing and performance now have a deal-sweetener.

I mean yeah? this was teh case for a while now?

If they include 6000 series in this promo, it would be great if Zen3 would become part of it as well. Would give me an incentive to get the 5800X3D.

This has been going on since the start of August (yes, even for the RX 6000 series cards). Maybe some sort of reminder announcement?

Yeah, did I say otherwise, or do you not know that Zen3 is has nothing to do with GPUs?

In Greece only two shops are in AMD's list as participating in the offer of Starfield and both sell AMD's graphics card for extra $50-$100 or even more than other shops.

Right now this bundle is the only thing STOPPING me from getting a newer AMD card. Waiting to see a TRUE offer in Greece with this game as TRULY FREE.

if Zen3

Only Zen 4. AMD is the exclusive PC partner for Starfield

I would hold off for about 2-4months to get this game, I'm 99.99999% sure the game will come with tons of bugs.

Exactly. This is a graphics card promotion.

I’d love to get a free game with a tube of thermal grease. Perhaps another day.

I'll wait for reviews but I'm sorely tempted to sidegrade from a 6800XT to a 7800XT to get marginally faster memory, a free copy of Starfield, better RT performance (not that I care, even on my RTX card) and slightly lower power draw. I underclock my 6800XT's core and overclock the memory since I'm playing at high resolution in a room that gets hot in summer. Bandwidth starved and aiming for the most efficiency I can wrangle...

I reckon I'll recoup 90% the cost of a new 7800XT for my 6800XT, it being a (probably) slightly faster raster card with its 20% more cores, and all I need to do is list it on ebay (unless any of you in the UK are interested in a £425 boxed Asus TUF 6800XT in mint condition? Based on what I've just said, you'd be dumb to do that unless you have no interest in Starfield which is genuinely worth £60 to me)

No it is not, as you can see above, Zen 4 CPUs are included in the promotion.

 

[Steevo]

I got 2 copies, a standard with my CPU and a special/ultimate whatever edition with my 7900XTX.

Time for a giveaway.

I only glanced at the image in the original post.

Anyhow it looks like it’s a limited promotion. AMD deliberately left out motherboards and older CPUs. Enterprise class products are also excluded.

Too bad. AMD isn’t going to change the promotion based on a couple of comments at TPU.

If my baseball team has a free taco promotion for a runner caught stealing should I bitch that the promo doesn’t cover the infield fly rule?

 

[apoklyps3]

oh NOOOO, more "bribes" by AMD

 

[Space Lynx]

I mean i got my 7900 xt for 705 and that included the tax, thanks to prime Day sales, i probably would have bought it anyway at that price. So less a bribe and more "icing on the cake" for me

I love you Steevo, no need for an open giveaway!

So, friend bought few days ago 6700xt,.how can he reclaim the game?

I do hope this is not country specific thing...

If he bought it at a participating retailer, the retailer should have included a code and/or instructions with the purchase.

Then it is rip-off, thanks for info.

Lol. Complain more that AMD doesn't want to sell their already heavily discounted CPU line ups and motherboards they don't sell along with a 60-70 dollar freebie most people buying probably want.
wru logic? I think some pretty heavy bags of money were shifted to get this done... Bethesda/MS don't need it.
