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.
