ASUS Prepares Limited Edition Radeon RX 7900 XTX "Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Edition" GPU with Only 20 Units Available

[AleksandarK]

ASUS has introduced a new limited edition graphics card: the Radeon RX 7900 XTX Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2 Edition. The company will produce only 20 units of this specially designed card, making it one of the rarest graphics cards on the market. The new card is based on the Radeon RX 7900 XTX, which uses AMD's RDNA 3 architecture. It maintains the same technical specifications as the standard model, including its gaming capabilities. The primary difference lies in its aesthetic design, which features artwork and elements inspired by the Warhammer 40,000 franchise, specifically referencing the Space Marines from the upcoming game Space Marine 2. ASUS developed this product in partnership with the developers of Space Marine 2. Each card will be individually numbered, potentially increasing its value for collectors. Despite its unique appearance, the card is expected to perform similarly to the standard RX 7900 XTX in terms of gaming performance.

Distribution of these graphics cards will not occur through typical retail channels. Instead, ASUS plans to organize a giveaway contest on August 23. The company has yet to release full details about how interested parties can enter the contest, and that information will be available through their official communication channels shortly. While the card offers no performance improvements over the standard model, its scarcity and unique design may appeal to enthusiasts of both computer hardware and the Warhammer franchise. Potential contestants should note that, as with any limited edition product, demand is likely to far exceed the available supply. ASUS has not indicated whether similar collaborations or limited editions might be planned for the future.

I hope it's the lighting or the camera because the card in the photos looks cheap.

- Strong "Slap some decals on it randomly and charge another $200" vibes, for sure...

It looks a bit too clean and toy-like to me. They should've given it some battle damage detail on the paint job.

It gives the impression the designer isn't familiar with WH40K and someone picked a picture of the astartes doing a gay pose in the bathroom and gave it to them and told them "the card has to look like this".
For whatever reason it's the color of the fans what bothers me the most, but the rest says less "For The Emperor!" and more "Vive la France!" YMMV

It looks like my art project from when I was 5
