ASRock Storms Into the Graphics Market with Phantom Gaming Series Graphics Cards
A leading global motherboard manufacturer, ASRock, is moving into the graphics card market with the Phantom Gaming range - a strong line up of AMD Radeon RX500 series cards, including the Phantom Gaming X Radeon RX580 8G, Radeon RX570 8G, the Phantom Gaming Radeon RX560 4G/2G and Radeon RX550 4G/2G. "ASRock finally expand into the graphics card field," said Mr. LL Shiu, ASRock Chief Executive Officer. "We are happy and proud to team up with AMD, our strong and reliable partner, and of course we look forward to bringing out more interesting and competitive products in future."
Cards offer advanced performance technology
ASRock Phantom Gaming series promises elegant design, flexibility for power users combined with user friendly control, and of course, outstanding performance. ASRock never compromises on product quality and performance, so these new products are packed with amazing features as well as the best components to ensure they meet everyone's expectations.
Graphics cards from this range offer features such as dual ball-bearing fans and are built around a sophisticated extra-large copper-base aluminum alloy composite heat pipe-equipped heatsink design for optimal cooling. Together, these technologies provide enhanced system performance, higher frame rates and long-term product reliability.
These new cards will be based on the Radeon RX 500 series, which features a powerful combination of exceptional game performance, high clock speeds, and AMD's refined 2nd generation "Polaris" architecture. The Radeon RX 500 series was designed specifically for system upgrades, catering to gamers who are hindered by outdated technology and aren't able to enjoy optimal experiences in modern games or the latest display technologies.
"ASRock is an industry leader with some of the world's best AMD-based motherboards being sold in the market today, and we are thrilled to team with them to help us bring incredible gaming experiences to gamers with Radeon GPUs, "said Scott Herkelman, corporate vice president and general manager, Radeon Technologies Group. "The new ASRock Phantom Gaming Series, based on the powerful Radeon RX 500 Series graphics cards, will provide gamers the best of Radeon features and performance which will include FreeSync, the ultimate technology for smooth and stutter-free gaming, Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition for seamless streaming, sharing and gameplay capture now with mobile device functionality, and Radeon graphic's highly optimized DirectX 12 and Vulkan performance."
ASRock: A new player joins the game
After long and careful preparation, ASRock has finally launched its attack on the graphic card market. ASRock is happy and proud to team up with AMD and is of course looking forward to developing even more powerful and competitive graphics products in the future.

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?
On a more serious note, no wait, I am being serious. As much as I own Nvidia, I already see the GPP affecting branding on MSI and Gigabyte. We may see more niche brands ally to AMD for gfx cards, which means more supply, possibly.
People celebrate what is essentially the slow death of STRIX Radeon, one of the highest quality components in the industry.
The issue has not been clarified entirely, and there may be investors and high management who are still involved with both. The odd timing of this launch tells us that there's more beneath the surface.
They are not linked in the way you infer. No more than Softbank runs Nvidia.
i guess amd cards are always "sub-par" in terms of design
So while they don't completely own it, they still own enough stock to control it.
Been here before and I'm with @btarunr.
Asus has a huge decision here by share holding. My speculations didn't come out of thin air
(Also includes casetek and Kingsus btw, so basically almost the entirety of pegatron holders)
As to these ASRock cards if they deliver performance/quality that's cool/quite, around good pricing I'd have no problem looking to purchase. The GPU industry IMO has gone over-board on all the Hype, RGB lights, cray looking shrouds and backing plates on card that don't aid in heat dissipation or stiffing. Just supply "KISS" products that have quality where you need it and less glitz and they could have a winner.

nothing to do with ASUS
Although i wouldn't buy the first gpu they make.
Im sure they will learn a lot and improve a lot in their next designs.

this must be Colorfuls way to make AMD cards. Colorful makes more GPU variants than every other GPU company out there by a fair amount, so why not? btw Sapphire/PCPartner owns ZOTAC so its not like its impossible.
But AsRock also started with unassuming motherboards and here I am, owning my second one. And an expensive one at that. So even if these cards aren't everyone's cup of tea, we shouldn't suspect AsRock don't know what they're doing.
But enough of that. You might be right on this one. These actually really looks like a corolful shrouds. So maybe Asrock uses them as an OEM/ODM.

i see the PCBs when im adding them to the database lolno.. they really are duplicates... the heatsink wont be the same its a different gpu, the shroud is identical.
