We review the ASRock Phantom Gaming X Radeon RX580 OC with 8GB graphics memory. A two slot cooled mainstream graphics card series will allow you to play your games in both the Full HD 1080P range, as well as gaming in WQHD (2560x1440) range. It's ASRock's first in a series of a new graphics card lineup. In Q1 2018 rumors surfaced that ASRock would be releasing graphics cards. Then all of the sudden we started to see a few teasers from ASRock, slowly word got out that the new series would be called Phantom gaming, but would it be for miners, gamers or both? In April some cards got released, however at the time seemed restricted towards an Asia region, which sparked a nasty discussion on the web, some saying that AMD would not allow sales of these cards in the EU and USA. Back in May, that rumor got denied, meanwhile, in the background we've been talking towards ASRock to see what was going on. A couple of weeks ago I received word and confirmation that the Phantom Gaming series will hit the EU markets as well. We know there have been some reviews out already, likely with the help of a bit of grey import and some favors. The time, however, has arrived for us to review an actual retail sample from ASRock. Today we look at their first born, the Phantom Gaming X Radeon RX580 OC 8GB. This dual slot cooled mainstream to higher end (read the words well) graphics card series will allow you to play your games in both the Full HD 1080P range as well as gaming in WQHD (2560x1440) range. Yes, that RX 480 580 is the familiar Polaris based (P20), a code-name indicative of the Radeon RX 580 series. AMD also refers to this GPU as Ellesmere. The GPU is the same as the Radeon RX 480, it, however, is fabbed with a more up-to-date 3rd generation 14nm process, let's call it a bit more refined over time. That results in a GPU that can be clocked and boosted a notch faster (compared to the RX 480). As you guys know, both the Radeon RX 570 and 580 graphics card are made available in 4 and 8GB versions, you will also see both reference and tweaked slash customized models from the board partners. The GPU used in the 580 is based on Polaris 20 (XTX). For the RX 570 that would be a Polaris 21, which is based on the same GPU. The Radeon RX 580 has been going strong and still is. It pushes just over 6 TFLOPS of peak performance, 5 TFLOPS for the Radeon RX 570.
