TechPowerUp - 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.’

My thoughts:  It would appear that this may be a really limited edition depending on the “opportunities” available.

    That is pretty cool looking  .... but I still have to wonder why they didn't save that for their own Arc cards ..?

    Umm, because it's NOT Intel who's collaborating with Microsoft for this? It's AMD and Microsoft, not Intel and AMD. Not sure where you're getting that from?
