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.
