ASRock Phantom Series Vega 56 To reach the EU market in July
It's been a bit of a rough start for ASRock with the Phantom series graphics cards. Initially announced big with virals and teasers, then when the products had been released they look to be aimed at miners. Then all of the sudden there was a region sales embargo, the products could be sold only in Asia.
From there onwards, a lot of people accepted or denied a lot of things as to why their graphics cards are not selling in the EU and USA. For the EU side of things, I have some news. Things have been progressing and apparently, a certain party is going to allow sales of Phantom series graphics cards at the very least in the EU. The first cards will hit the EU, likely Germany and UK first, then rolling out towards other countries. From the look of it, they will bring Vega 56 towards the EU first.
The first card would be the ASRock Phantom Series Vega 56, and yes ... it's a reference design card. ASRock seems to call it custom, as they added a backplate to it with the Phantom logo. Whether or not Polaris, RX 570/580 will reach the EU market, remains a question marker, but I assume that will be the case.

Crossfire i still a "thing" to some... Runnin 3-R9 390s with a eyefinity setup... No issues... Hopefully they can pump up the Avail Vega cards and force the pricing to where it should be. But, alas, some "miners" will suck these all up as well....

I wish Crossfire was still a thing, I remember feeling like a total beast when Battlefield 3 came out and I had two Radeon 5870's in Crossfire mode... I was able to Super Scale that game to 200%, with a few effects like Ambient Occlusion turned off.
But then I three years later I sold them to a Miner for the exact same price I bought them. So that was a happy bunny.
Now I'm just sitting sad with my-still-killing-it 290X, wishing more games could do the thing without the lag.
I was just testing out crossfire last week. Its still a thing. Just less because of lazy devs. I miss the days of my 290x crossfire, and especially my eyefinity setup with 7950 crossfire.

I wonder if it is worth starting production this late to the current generation. Soon to be replaced cards..
But I wish they make them at high quality, and sell competitively with other brands. As there is next round around corner. It is always welcome to have more variants.
