A leading global motherboard manufacturer, ASRock, is moving into the graphics card market with the Phantom Gaming range - a strong line up of AMD Radeon RX500 series cards, including the Phantom Gaming X Radeon RX580 8G, Radeon RX570 8G, the Phantom Gaming Radeon RX560 4G/2G and Radeon RX550 4G/2G. "ASRock finally expand into the graphics card field," said Mr. LL Shiu, ASRock Chief Executive Officer. "We are happy and proud to team up with AMD, our strong and reliable partner, and of course we look forward to bringing out more interesting and competitive products in future."

Cards offer advanced performance technology
ASRock Phantom Gaming series promises elegant design, flexibility for power users combined with user friendly control, and of course, outstanding performance. ASRock never compromises on product quality and performance, so these new products are packed with amazing features as well as the best components to ensure they meet everyone's expectations.
Graphics cards from this range offer features such as dual ball-bearing fans and are built around a sophisticated extra-large copper-base aluminum alloy composite heat pipe-equipped heatsink design for optimal cooling. Together, these technologies provide enhanced system performance, higher frame rates and long-term product reliability.

These new cards will be based on the Radeon RX 500 series, which features a powerful combination of exceptional game performance, high clock speeds, and AMD's refined 2nd generation "Polaris" architecture. The Radeon RX 500 series was designed specifically for system upgrades, catering to gamers who are hindered by outdated technology and aren't able to enjoy optimal experiences in modern games or the latest display technologies.

"ASRock is an industry leader with some of the world's best AMD-based motherboards being sold in the market today, and we are thrilled to team with them to help us bring incredible gaming experiences to gamers with Radeon GPUs, "said Scott Herkelman, corporate vice president and general manager, Radeon Technologies Group. "The new ASRock Phantom Gaming Series, based on the powerful Radeon RX 500 Series graphics cards, will provide gamers the best of Radeon features and performance which will include FreeSync, the ultimate technology for smooth and stutter-free gaming, Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition for seamless streaming, sharing and gameplay capture now with mobile device functionality, and Radeon graphic's highly optimized DirectX 12 and Vulkan performance."

ASRock: A new player joins the game
After long and careful preparation, ASRock has finally launched its attack on the graphic card market. ASRock is happy and proud to team up with AMD and is of course looking forward to developing even more powerful and competitive graphics products in the future.

T4C FantasySapphire makes all the OEM cards for ZOTAC... its not just shares they do the board designs
i see the PCBs when im adding them to the database lol


no.. they really are duplicates... the heatsink wont be the same its a different gpu, the shroud is identical.
I don't really think so. PC Partner makes the cards. It's also oem/odm for Sapphire cards, though Sapphire has it's own fabs too.

dj-electricAsus: Here, shills. This is what you get.

I can hear the plastic squeaking all the way from here. Yikes. This shroud design belongs to 5 gens ago, when nobody cared about a clean and homogenized design.

For those under me commenting about ASRock's support in AMD: There might be forces from Asus here. This might be what you guys get when asus does partner with NVIDIA.

Say goodbye to STRIX's signature component and cooling quality?
What are you going on about? ASRock hasn’t been part of ASUS for at least 10 years. Is that connection what you were on about? Well, you can rest easy, it is gone.

john_Nice to see ASRock in the graphics cards business. Let's hope AMD does something good in this market soon. It's needed. We better not have an "Bulldozer" era in GPUs.
Well, now that Ryzen has pulled them out of the red and Epyc gave them a proposition for the server market (where the real $$$ are), they should have some spare change to throw in the direction of their GPU division. After all, it's that division that kept them from going under in the Bulldozer days.

ASRock is using Colorful shrouds for all of their lineup. i dont know anything between asus or ASRock or Pegatron, but ASRock will not be using anything ASUS has for this generation of GPUs.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASUSTeK_Computer#History
n January 2008, Asus began a major restructuring of its operations, splitting into three independent companies: Asus (focused on applied first-party branded computers and electronics); Pegatron (focused on OEM manufacturing of motherboards and components); and Unihan Corporation (focused on non-PC manufacturing such as cases and molding).

Phantom Gaming. The name stands from the fact that cards will be used exclusively by ethereum miners...

I think you should do what I did take snip's of each picture and scale them (bracket and PCI) the RX 580 is longer and if you draw the fan blade curve, copy and overlay on the other you can see the 1060 has more profile.

it doesnt matter, colorful all they did was resize it they used their design as it would look for an 11 inch card, i am 100% sure this is colorful not 99.9%.'

i showed the 1060 out of the 50+ shrouds they make that look like it.

Colorful is the only one with the end of the card that looks like that and the front and the design for plastics

That link does not change the fact that pegatron's board of directors is made of ex and current Asus execs!
And that casetek and kingsus who own pegatron are partially owned by the owners and shareholders of asustek.
This is a multi-corp illusion.

Damn it, are people tying anymore? Do your proper research instead of searching wikipedia

The gist of it is, since they're legally distinct entities, the decisions Asus makes have nothing to do with the decisions AsRock makes.
Unless your point is the GPP conspiracy is implemented by Asus though conspiring with AsRock to offload their AMD portfolio. Which is too much conspiracy for my liking.

Yeah, checked couple of colorful gtx 1060s on your database, same looking shroud. Hmm you are missing Point of View cards are they not real?

Of course, i get your point. In many markets like mobos, they compete directly.
But, considering the fact that pegatron's holders are some of asus', and combining it with the odd time of these cards coming out and GPP, there might be something to it

Or, it might be AsRock was looking for a way in and found some relatively dated (yet still capable) hardware. Or, AMD simply cut them a better deal.
