Asrock motherboard only? Asrock graphics card!
ASRock’s DNA is inherited with a wonderful spirit of experimentation
Fun to choose from Radeon to Arc series
However, more experimental graphics cards are expected.
With the addition of artificial intelligence to next-generation graphics, it has become an era known as Nvidia these days. Still, there are not a few users who still look for graphics cards from other brands in search of their own taste. AMD Radeon, which has a thick fan base and continues to compete with Nvidia, is a typical example, and Intel’s Arc, which joined last year and announced a relatively good start, is one of them. Since each graphics card has a different personality, the range of choices is wider, and it is possible to worry about various factors such as budget, performance and functions.
There are several brands that produce graphics cards, and ASRock is one of them. However, like other brands, ASRock is also classified as one of the manufacturers with solid fundamentals. This is because it is one of the few brands that manufacture both a motherboard and a graphics card.
Above all, ASRock has introduced unique and distinctive products under the nickname ‘Labordy’ in the past. Graphics cards, unlike motherboards, have restrictions on the implementation of technology, so it feels a bit pale, but at the moment they are designed and introduced to the market so that you can feel the unity with motherboard brand ASRock. This alone is enough to make the ASRock graphics card worth it. Then, let’s take a quick look at the Radeon and Arc graphics cards currently being introduced by ASRock.
From water cooling to basic products
Radeon RX 7000 series graphics cards include a variety of options
ASRock specializes in AMD Radeon graphics cards. It is also gradually releasing products, starting with the Radeon RX 500 and RX Vega series. Compared to brands commonly known for Radeon, although its history is short, it is proud to take an axis from the graphics card market with solid fundamentals and diversity. The recently introduced Radeon RX 7000 series graphics cards are already numerous enough to suggest a variety of options.
▲ Radeon RX 7900 XTX Aqua proves its worth with the best performance, although it needs a water-cooled cooling system
In particular, two products to pay attention to are the Radeon RX 7900 XTX Taichi and the flagship products released under the AQUA water cooling brand. There are already products that seem to have the characteristics of ASRock motherboards, such as the basic form of the reference base and Phantom Gaming, but you can feel the real value that ASRock is trying to convey here.
The Radeon RX 7900 XTX Aqua is equipped with GDDR6 memory with an operating speed of up to 2680 MHz and 20 Gbps specifications. The basic specifications are no different from the Radeon RX 7900 XTX, but the new vBIOS update, which has recently increased the speed to 2935 MHz, has further improved its completeness. Compared to 2500 MHz from the reference, 2680 MHz is also quite a high speed because it is said to be a manufacturer’s specification. The performance itself is also up to 13.5% faster than the reference, so it is the best choice for users who are interested in water cooling and want the best Radeon graphics card.
▲ Radeon RX 7900 XTX Taichi has solid performance. The white edition even took care of the striking style
Like the Aqua, the Radeon RX 7900 XTX Taichi is set at up to 2680 MHz, so you can experience solid performance. The game’s operating speed is also set at 2510 MHz, which is higher than the 2300 MHz reference, providing stable performance in games. Here, the unique cooler design unique to Taichi and the understated LED line are enough to catch the eye. The white color of the product is also impressive.
▲ Radeon RX 7600 Steel Legend with large heatsink. It is a product with reasonable price and performance.
Radeon is now expanding into the mid-range line. The latest graphics card on the market is the Radeon RX 7600 series, and ASRock also targets the market with three lines: Steel Legend, Phantom Gaming, and Challenger. Being a product group with the largest number of user groups, it introduced a variety of products according to taste.
The Radeon RX 7600 Steel Legend features three colorful LED cooling fans along with a white cooler to convey expectations for unique design and performance. It has stable performance with a graphics processor operating up to 2725 MHz (game operation speed of 2320 MHz) and 18 Gbps GDDR6 memory.
▲ Radeon RX 7600 Challenger focuses on mounting compatibility with dual fans
Compared to this, the Radeon RX 7600 Challenger has two cooling fans, but it is a graphics card that gives expectations for mounting compatibility due to its small size. Although the size is small, long-term operation is ensured with a cooling fan with an applied heat pipe, and GDDR6 memory with specifications up to 2695 MHz (game operation speed 2280 MHz) and 18 Gbps specifications in full without losing anything. If you want to experience moderate level gaming, photo editing, and rendering work with a small system, there will be no configuration like this.
Providing the Best Experience with Intel Platforms
Harmony of performance and features, Intel Arc A770 graphics card
Last year, Intel threw a ballot into the graphics card market, which led to Nvidia and AMD Yanggang-gu. The Arc series is that, and it has settled down in the market by applying the technology that Intel applied to internal graphics to external graphics and showing synergy with the Intel platform. In particular, XeSS, an upgrade technology that uses artificial intelligence, Intel Deep Link, and Xe Media Engine, which supports excellent hardware encoding, received favorable reviews.
▲ ASRock has various Intel Arc portfolios, but only the Arc A770 Phantom Gaming is sold in Korea.
Above all, ASRock gives a new shock to the graphics card market as it becomes one of the brands that manufactures Intel graphics cards. Currently, only the Arc A770 Phantom Gaming 16GB product is available in Korea, but if Intel actively introduces its next product, we expect to see more products.
Asrock’s Arc A770 Phantom Gaming 16GB is an overclocked product compared to the reference, and you can experience a slightly better performance. It combines a GPU that operates up to 2200 MHz with GDDR66 memory with a specification of 17.5 Gbps, and is completed with a cooler that provides the best possible cooling performance. Considering that the maximum operating speed of the reference is 2100 MHz, this is a sufficiently high operating speed.
A time where fresh products are needed to match the nickname of the research institute in the past
If you want to differentiate yourself with a more experimental graphics card…
ASRock offers a variety of products from two graphics processor manufacturers, Radeon and Intel. Even if it is a relatively small brand, it is not easy to establish a lineup from the flagship to the mainstream with the pride of the manufacturer. In that regard, ASRock’s path is worthy of recognition. In particular, the fact that the features of mainboards such as Taichi, Phantom Gaming, and Steel Legend are applied to the graphics card is a positive point as it gives a sense of unity.
▲ Intel A380 LP not sold in Korea. Considering the small system market, if even a small amount is distributed, it will be able to differentiate itself in terms of portfolio or image.
It is not without regret. I know technology isn’t easy these days, but it’s hard to see a product with a great idea that was nicknamed a research institute in the past. I believe that if we introduce more challenging and new products one by one, it will certainly help to attract the attention of the market while trying to differentiate ourselves from other brands. As ASRock has shown technology and ideas in the past, the market has high expectations.
