AMD has announced an exclusive collaboration with ASUS ROG for the release of the new hit title Warhammer 40:000 Space Marine 2. This partnership brings a limited edition Space Marine-themed graphics card, which can be won as part of a special giveaway in the next few weeks. Additionally, those looking to buy a new graphics card can get codes for up to four games for free, including Space Marine 2, when purchasing an RX 7800 XT or RX 7700 XT.
ASUS also has a unique landing page dedicated explicitly to Space Marine 2. This page offers a unique PC configurator that allows gamers to select top-end hardware from ASUS, geared to provide the best in-game experience!
Game Release & AMD Technologies
Warhammer 40:000 Space Marine 2 launches on September 9th on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. It’s been thirteen years since the first game’s release, and Warhammer fans are incredibly excited for the sequel’s launch, which ups the ante with Titus facing off against Tyranids and the daemonic forces of Chaos.
Enabling HYPR-RX and AFMF, which can be switched on within the AMD Adrenalin software, allows gamers with an AMD graphics card to enjoy low latency and incredibly smooth framerates.
HYPR-RX is a driver-level profile that boosts performance and responsiveness within various games. Switching on this profile engages multiple of AMD’s GPU technologies, such as image upscaling (RSR/FSR), latency reduction (Anti-Lag+), and sensitive resolution reduction (Boost).
However, AFMF (AMD Fluid Motion Frames) increases perceived smoothness by inserting frames into the game you’re playing. When turned on, AFMF uses a complex algorithm to determine where new frames are best placed, making a game feel and look smoother. This is particularly useful in intense areas, as it can reduce choppiness.
AMD x ASUS ROG Graphics Card Giveaway
As part of this unique collaboration with AMD and Focus Entertainment, ASUS is giving away a limited-edition graphics card themed around the iconic look of the Warhammer universe and the main hero of Space Marine 2, Demetrian Titus.
Further details about the giveaway will be released over the next few weeks. The design was unveiled at the ROG Press Event at Gamescom on August 20th. So far, this ASUS card features a triple-fan design, which should provide solid cooling performance. The fans and shroud are Space Marine blue, and certain areas of the card are covered in thematic livery.
Space Marine 2 Landing Page
The ASUS x AMD Warhammer 40:000 Space Marine 2 landing page provides extensive information about the game and its launch and details on the AMD hardware game bundles, the Space Marine graphics card giveaway, and the PC build configurator.
Gamers who land here can learn more about Space Marine 2, including the development diary, gameplay trailer, and reveal of the co-operative campaign and 6v6 multiplayer mode.
The AMD hardware bundle allows gamers to get two titles with select AMD products, such as a CPU, graphics card, or laptop. ASUS also has a promotion until August 31st, allowing prospective buyers to pick two more games from a selection. These games include Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Starfield, Lies of P, and Company of Heroes 3.
Further down are details about the Space Marine limited edition graphics card, information about the ROG Press event, and when you can enter the giveaway, which is also covered by the countdown.
The Space Marine-themed PC build configurator allows gamers to build a PC from a selection of ASUS parts or the preset recommended setups. These are all designed to provide ultimate performance for Space Marine 2. Each setup offers a range of components geared towards different performance levels. For example, the ASSAULT setup is more of a mid-range build paired with a TUF Gaming RX 7800 XT and AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, housed inside the ROG Strix Helios case.
The HEAVY setup features a TUF Gaming RX 7900 XTX and a Ryzen 9 7950X3D installed in the ROG Hyperion. Gamers can toggle between desktops, laptops, and the ASUS ROG ALLY for a handheld experience. Those with a bit more knowledge and expertise can go even further and customise their setup to their heart’s content. At the end, you can copy the parts list, grabbing the components ASUS has recommended based on your selections.
