he is talking about no one mining on a 570 right now and therefore doesn't know the floor from the sky.

How does he know nobody is mining on a 570?

Who cares? We all know they're wrong, just ignore.

If they only did include a DVI output, what a stupid move. The smart move is to hedge between gamers and miners, they'd hit two markets in one with a small increase in BOM prices.

who knows man, why would they release a set of cards if no one is going to use them? If I was to guess, yes lots and LOTS of people are mining on 570. he is just a guy on the internet with a bigger ego then everyone else and thinks "you going to mine? you better be doing it on a setup of at least 4 1080Tis!"

Just for those paying attention these do not appear to be the same cards we saw pictures of the other day.

Judging from the spec sheet we are talking single fan, single dvi output low end cards. So hopefully they are at a good price point.

Someone else mentioned that. Seems to be correct.
@btarunr
It might be a good idea to update the article with this information.

"Chaintech"

God damn that's a name I haven't heard in a long time, I had a Chaintech KT333 motherboard back in the day, was epic

I was going to say the same. My GeForce 4 Ti 4600 was a Chaintec card. Loved it.

These seem to be a different SKU for mining? The phantom gaming on the news before this had higher clockrates.

These are different skus they have gaming and gaming hybrid

They are targeted to big mining farms with big quantity purchases. Not some single home users.

Yep. Who never resell.

EDIT: Should read "seldom resell," if it makes a difference. And that's pretty factual: Most resells come from small time miners. Big mine farms have too much invested to go any other way... Not that that'll stop belief based downvotes.

What a hell is asrock doing? You call a GPU gaming and then say the actual segment is mining? GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER ASROCK!
If you ask me, they are already crapping in their way without even have started yet.

1 new brand, 5 new brands, or even 1 less brand, it's irrelevant. If AMD doesn't ramp up production by a significant factor (it won't), there's no improvements in both mining and gaming scenes, much less price wise.

Agreed

So, no mid-range single slot cards :sniff:

Give it a bit they have 550/560's listed on their web page in the gaming line. Those I would imagine at least one is single slot. I am hoping they get a 550 640 shader as well those are a great value card and seem to have some unlockable shaders.

Or maybe those GPP ties of ASUS have some magical influence on ASRock repeating Gigabytes BS about "not gaming focused" graphic cards.
