Challenger? It's already challenging to get your hands on any GPU.

Good to see Asrock keep putting out itx cards. Though this (as all GPUs today) needs to a) become available, and b) come down in price by ~33-50%.

I have 1 challenger 6600XT on my 5 x 6600xt mining rig. It's very light and the cooler feels on the cheaper side, that being said it is the coolest/quietest running 6600xt out of all of them. No stability issues and it clocks average.

Challenger are the mainstream cards, like Sapphire Pulse.

I know their 5700s would crossflash to 5700XTs

Pretty solid products, been using them for my last few motherboards and they are rock solid, so good that I would not be able to say from first hand experience about waranty.
But from what I've seen over the internet, I never seen any big issues regarding warranty and customer support. So we should be fine :)
