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

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.

Yeah, I thought PoV was owned by Palit. I really don't know are they alive or not.

their website died i just never looked to see what the new link was, and the main reason for that is cause their trooper gaming website died too.. so i said well they are dead...

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

Asus: 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?

ASRock is a separate company now, have been for awhile.

no 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

So can I buy them for my miner yet or not?

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.
