ASRock Storms Into the Graphics Market with Phantom Gaming Series Graphics Cards

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 The Radeon RX 500 series was designed specifically for system upgrades, catering to gamers who are hindered by outdated technology and aren't able to enjoy optimal experiences in modern games or the latest display technologies.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.

This is like a match made in heaven, when a budget brand meets another budget brand.

AMD is not a budget brand, and hate to be described as one. That is at least according to Lisa.
It shouldn't be one as well in my opinion. This is all about getting to the top, and you don't do that by branding yourself "budget".

ASRock is kinda the same. While offering some better priced products, they also have their own expensive premiums

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?
ASRock is a separate company now, have been for awhile.
Fatalfuryno backplate even on rx 570 & rx 580...
i guess amd cards are always "sub-par" in terms of design
Not All AIBs have backplates and certain models really don't need them.

But to get back on topic, these cards have a clean look to them, sort of how some his/visiontek/club3d/tul/xfx cards were.

ASRock is using colorful (the company) shrouds

At least ASRock is showing some love for AMD. I mean, after this nonsense GPP where it holds AIB's hostage, this is great news for AMD & GPUs in general. Though I am curious if ASRock will eventually surprise us with a Fatal1ty RX 580/Vega 64 Gaming X GPUs. :lovetpu::)

Indeed! ASRock, XFX, HIS, Sapphire, Powercolor.... but I guess even AMD fans don't like completely exclusive options.

Let's keep the fatality brand off of the ASRock cards and make them Thai Chi's. Tai Chi sounds better than Fatal1ty. We already have enough Red and Black or Green and Black. These actually look clean like some XFX cards

Heh, just head over to the GPP thread where SuperXP offered to show me what was wrong with GPP and all I managed to get out of him was the Nvidia demands exclusivity, but instead of a link or a quotation, all he could come up with us was "it was on Nvidia's blog, but now they've removed it". Would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad.

Not saying I like ASROCK's look, but imo ASUS looks substantially dumber. I mean this looks a little goofy, but Strix looks like it is straight up meant for 9 year olds... And it probably is lol.

Didn't Gainward have a copywrite on the Phantom name for GPU's?
