ASRock Launches Arc A770 Phantom Gaming and Arc A750 Challenger Graphics Cards

[btarunr]

ASRock today launched its Arc "Alchemist" A770 and A750 custom-design graphics cards. These include the A770 Phantom Gaming OC, and the A750 Challenger OC. The A770 maxes out the 6 nm ACM-G10 silicon, featuring all 32 Xe Cores (4,096 unified shaders); besides 16 Gbps GDDR6 memory; whereas the A750 gets 28 Xe Cores (3,584 unified shaders), and 16 Gbps GDDR6 memory. Both of ASRock's cards come with 8 GB of memory across a 256-bit wide memory bus, there's no 16 GB version of the A770 Phantom Gaming.

The ASRock A770 Phantom Gaming features a premium, RGB-illuminated cooling solution that's also found in the company's Radeon RX 6000-series Phantom Gaming graphics cards. This card also offers a factory-overclock of 2.20 GHz compared to 2.10 GHz reference. The cooler features a dual fin-stack heatsink with five 6 mm-thick nickel-plated copper heat-pipes that make indirect contact with the GPU over a copper base-plate. The dual ball-bearings fans come with idle fan-stop. There's a switch to manually turn off RGB lighting.



The ASRock A750 Challenger OC features a more straightforward design, with a simple aluminium fin-stack heatsink that's ventilated by two fans instead of three on the A770 Phantom Gaming. You get a handy factory-overclock of 2.20 GHz vs. 2.05 GHz reference. The cooler features four copper heat-pipes that make direct contact with the GPU. Both cards feature the same set of power connectors—two 8-pin PCIe power; and feature a PCI-Express 4.0 x16 host interface.

Both the A750 Challenger OC and the A770 Phantom Gaming OC offer at least one HDMI 2.1 port, which means they're using a protocol-converter chip to turn one of the DisplayPort 2.0 interfaces into an HDMI 2.1. The A750 Challenger OC interestingly offers two HDMI ports, one of which is the native HDMI 2.0b port from the GPU, and the other an HDMI 2.1 through the PCON. The DisplayPorts on both cards meet DisplayPort 2.0 specs.

The A770 Phantom Gaming is priced at USD $329, while the A750 Challenger OC goes for $289, both of which are at Intel's MSRP.

Cool, it is possible to disable rgb via switch on gpu. Now back to the gpu itself. How about price?

I like how much flow-through area there is on these, especially that Challenger (hopefully it doesn't behave like its space shuttle namesake). Leaving the top edge unobstructed for this should be a serious boon as fans produce the most airflow along their outer edges, so cooling ought to be very good.

The trend of overly large coolers on mid and low tier GPU is bad.
It is much more for the show than tuned for lower cost yet with resenable cooling preformance.

Its easier to make a large cooler perform well than it is to make a smaller one.

What strikes me is how simple these coolers are. Its like travelling back in time.

My 6800xt challenger runs at 75c hotspot with custom fan curve at 270w while being quieter then my system fans. Quite a good cooler.

And it's the most easiest to copy past with minimal modification and let us pay.

I want to see the high preforming, no led and useless beauty add-ons while compact coolers.
Just as with cases where you can choose no led, no glass variants.

Imagine a CPU than several times faster than a Ryzen 5600X CPU. The die size much larger of course as it should be. You get 8 GB system memory on a separate motherboard, ther are some video output to drive dsiplay and a strong box cooler in the package. And overall you will pay the same price like a single 5600X chip in a paper box, without RAM and wihtout cooler. And this new wonderfull CPU seller still earn money.

No this is not the new Pentium III.

This is the new Intel Arc A770:

I think we pay too much money for CPUs, Mobos, RAMs and etc for years!!! Time to not pay this much of money for these fast outdating computer parts. Need revolution.

Wow, talking about poor reading comprehension! Learn to read.
