The Card
ASRock's card looks exactly like the regular Phantom Gaming, just in white. The new color theme looks mighty good, thanks to the inclusion of some colored highlights to add more surface detail.
Dimensions of the card are 33.0 x 14.0 cm, and it weighs 1456 g.
Installation requires three slots in your system. The card's width is 58 mm.
Display connectivity includes three standard DisplayPort 2.1 ports and one HDMI 2.1a.
AMD has upgraded their encode/decode setup. It now comes with two independent hardware units that can encode and decode two streams of video in parallel, or one stream at double the FPS rate. There's support for VP9, H.264, H.265 and AV1 decode, and encoding is supported for H.264, H.265 and AV1.
Just like other RX 7900 XT models, the Phantom Gaming White requires two 8-pin power inputs. This configuration is good for up to 375 W of power input.
Teardown
Six heatpipes provide good cooling for the GPU's heat output. The main heatsink also provides cooling for the memory chips and VRM circuitry.
The backplate is made of metal and protects the card against damage during installation and handling.
