"It also supports "ARGB SYNC" feature, which enables gamers to synchronize the lighting effect of the Phantom board with other ARGB-supported system devices by using a single cable included in the Gainward GeForce RTX 30 package."

One might argue that it's not a very elegant solution, but I would still prefer something like this to having to install a separate piece of software for every single RGB-capable component in your system.

Also, it's refreshing to see Gainward back in the game. I remember when they were the top choice of enthusiast nvidia cards. Sweet memories. :rolleyes:

I have a GTX580 3GB version from Gainward, that thing just keeps on trucking.

The elusive Phantom can't easily be found on store shelves...

Would be cool if w1zz could do comparison between v1 and v2.

Had long time ago gtx 1070 and there were zero regret buying.

They're all Phantom.

Out of curiosity I decided today to check the invoice for my 1060 6G bought in 2017 and seeing €310 with shipping almost brought tears to my eyes.

Yeah, even my Gigabyte 1080 Ti supports syncing just via software (and it actually works) without any cables or anything.

Because you have a Gigabyte motherboard as well. My point is: can it sync with any software?

Back into the market? They never left, did they?

Aptly named, Phantom.

Anyway, it looks like an EVGA FTW card.

my Galax card has the same thing, with an RGB in cable - fantastic idea as the software solution was a little bit poop
