The Card

ASRock's card comes with a fairly clean look and straight edges. The plastic shroud has some metal applications as highlights. A backplate is not available. Dimensions of the card are 26.5 cm x 11.0 cm. Note how the back of the shroud is just plastic without function; you could cut that off to fit the card in a smaller case, thus saving about 2.5 cm.


Installation requires two slots in your system.


Display connectivity options include a DVI port, one HDMI port, and three DisplayPorts.

The HDMI port is version 2.0b, and DisplayPort supports 1.3 HBR3/1.4 HDR ready, which enables support for 4K @ 120 Hz and 5K @ 60 Hz, or 8K @ 60 Hz with two cables. GPU-accelerated encoding is now supported for H.264 at up to 4K30, and HEVC is supported at up to 4K60. Accelerated decoding is supported for HEVC at up to 4K60 Main-10, VP9 is supported at up to 4K, and H.264 works at up to 4K120.


We shine the light from a self-leveling line laser onto the card, which shows no sagging.
