ASRock to Enter the Graphics Card Market, Focus on AMD Radeon
ASRock could enter the graphics card market, according to a report by Taiwan-based industry observer DigiTimes. The company is reportedly enamored by the GPU-accelerated crypto-currency mining boom, and could develop a graphics card lineup that's mostly, if not entirely, based on AMD Radeon graphics processors. AMD Radeon GPUs are generally regarded as being more efficient at mining popular crypto-currencies.
This could indicate that ASRock's graphics card designs could be frugal, and purpose-built for mining. Like all other add-in board (AIB) partners, the company could start off with some reference-design cards, and then launch custom-designed ones. The company has seen success in recent times as a formidable high-end PC motherboard brand across both Intel and AMD platforms; in addition to its low-cost motherboard core business. It also diversified into industrial PC components, server motherboards, and consumer networking products, such as Wi-Fi routers.

Why they do not design a true hybrid... PLX bridge and like slap four GPU's on it.
I think it will be good to see a bigger player coming on the scene, perhaps take over where a group like H.I.S. has faltered.
Shame they didn't go NVIDIA as well.
Don't forget Asrock the premier Budget Builder with the Duel Series Motherboards
Just imagine that mining Card
Duel GPU one AMD and one Nvidia each mining the coin that suits the individual GPU
Oops that Reminds me MUST TAKE MY MEDS :)
But I'm just talking about a budget card from ASRock and it would have to be on the NVIDIA side for me to be interested. I get they don't make one, just saying if they did.
may some miners be with your and your cards asrock ...:laugh:
Can price the cards high with a short warranty... so long as msrp is below average selling price they will sell.
Good margins, good design test for future gaming focused card.
as said above Still got 3 in storage 2 i bought from new
Despite their Budget Status then They have served me well
As Regards to quality i found them Good
If i was to be in a position to up-grade NOW i would have no Problem going AsRock Again :
I would also Recomend them to any one that asked/enquired about them
Have fond memorys of my Asrock Boards :)
i wonder how can Asrock make graphic cards .... may be in thin air??
or may be they ll enter like after 2020.. when AMD can meet supply-demand.

Stranger things have happened >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ( take a look at Apple Dealings in this Industry for one or Broadcom for another)
