ASRock Phantom Gaming Graphics Cards Leak - Includes Entire RX 500 line
Remember the post about the ASRock Phantom Gaming Graphics Cards teaser? Well, it's just leaked that this is the Radeon RX 500 series of graphics cards including the RX 550, 560, 570 and 580.
ASRock will release at least four models, with quite similar looks as some of the XFX products actually? From the looks of it, they will release some regular sized cards, but also an easy drop-in Mini ITX version of the Radeon RX 550 and RX 560. There's also a single fan RX 570 is released, and a dual-fan cooled RX 580. Nothing has been shared on a public launch just yet.
ASRock has not yet published further details, but forum posts claim that the Phantom Gaming cards will be released in the second quarter, but we would not be surprised to see an announcement surrounding the Ryzen 2000 series releases.
Mr.Komodo on Twitter for the picture.
Update:
ASRock quickly announced the series after the leak:
The leading global motherboard manufacturer, ASRock, is proud to announce to moving into the graphics card market with the Phantom Gaming range – a strong line up of AMD RadeonTM RX500 series cards, 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.
TAIPEI, Taiwan, March 28, 2018 – A leading global motherboard manufacturer, ASRock, is moving into the graphics card market with the Phantom Gaming range – a strong line up of AMD RadeonTM 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.

Better late than never......?!? Not sure how to feel about their inclusion of the GPU market this late into the 500 series' release.

with the new nvidia gpp program asus could no longer use the "republic of gamers" brand on amd radeon.
Here comes asrock (asus is the parent company) with a new gaming brand "phantom gaming" for amd
Unfortunately gigabyte , msi and others don't have that option and will stop using their gaming brands (aorus, etc) on amd radeon products

You are right, they JUST have to start over a new brand to sell AMD cards, with the Nvidia cards still using the brands they have been advertising for years... there is absolutely no way it may have any impact on sales, and then, absolutely no impact on the ability from AMD to create competitive cards.

Pointless. What kind of wannabe gear up is this? RX 5XX are so 2015-2017 performance wise and they bring new entire batch in 2018? Asrock #fail. They should wait for 2018 refresh if there will be any. What a waste.

I think it's a great way for them to get in the market. Get their name out there as a base, then really ramp up production next generation. Honestly this just goes to show how much production AMD has done of the 5xx chips if they can accept a new partner(That and demand being less coming from a couple other partners recently).

Sure but it is a 2018 movement as I see this. If there will be any refreshes planned for current year, they will push forward new generation months after other AIBs? When are they gonna cover the costs? Unless we won't see any newer AMD models for 2018 and they know it.

Let's be real here.
I'm gonna hate to say this, but a part of this seems motivated by the mining craze too. Miners don't want the low end cards or even the lower mid range cards, they want the 570 and 580(with 8gb), but because of demand from miners all video card prices go up, so demand is pretty high on all gaming oriented gpu's, and they sell at a price higher than MSRP. To make a pretty good buck, this is an easy way even with mining coming down some and gpu prices starting to lower back a little, there is still a high demand where most cards are gone the second they are in stock.

Not everyone can afford an high end card and they have to start somewhere so these cards are perfectly normal.

Really like the design. Black with a touch of white. If the G was also white, it would have been better IMO.

Good old Warlord.
I think they look good for a start up.
Another AIB is nice. We lost a few over the years.
And with Nvidias bullshit partner program, this is a small good thing for AMD.

The coolers could use some color to make them different from the competition...
Apart from that, it´s good to have one more GPU vendor, good luck to them.
