ASRock shows a video of its first Phantom Gaming graphics card

The ASRock company has uploaded a video where you can briefly see the new Phantom Gaming graphics card in a render of it, although they do not give much more information about it.

A few days ago we echoed the arrival of the first ASRock graphics cards, which meant that the company takes a new leap to become the queen of the market. Especially ASRock, for years, was known to offer cheap motherboards, although they did not have a good reputation for quality. Today they are solutions of very high quality and benefits and competitive prices. The idea is to keep improving, for the company and the logical step is to make the leap to graphics cards.

Phantom Gaming is what this ASRock graphics card will be called and little else we know about it. Initially, it has been speculated that it could have chosen AMD GPUs, but there is no reliable data and the heatsink, in its final part, is slightly reminiscent of other similar solutions on the market, which are used for NVIDIA GPUs.

We see in the video how the graphics card has an 8-pin PCIe connector for power, which would fit with a RX 580, but be careful, because there are advanced GTX 1060 models that use this power connector, due to the extra overclocking to which graphics card has been submitted. Until we have the official confirmation, it is rather speculative, although everyone agrees that it would be based on Polaris and not Vega.

The only thing we know is that Gigabyte, ASUS, MSI, EVGA and PowerColor, among others, will have a new competitor in the market, which will surely cut their market share a little. That now they launch a graphics card based on AMD GPUs, does not mean that in the future they will be able to launch graphics cards based on NVIDIA GPUs, although only time will tell.
