At the beginning of this decade, the Taiwanese manufacturer ASRock began to expand and, following motherboards, began producing video cards. Following the low-cost Challenger series GPUs and flagship models, Phantom introduced mid-range + models from the Steel Legend line. Since the company works exclusively with Radeon, which has not been doing as well as NVIDIA lately, Steel Legend models rarely make it into the top sales, being inferior in popularity to the more popular series from Asus, MSI and Gigabyte. But in vain, because there is plenty to choose from.


The Steel Legend series is based on two- and three-fan video cards, the blades of which are equipped with ARGB LEDs with support for ASRock Polychrome Sync backlighting. Considering the popularity of snow-white cases, power supplies and cooling systems in this series, the manufacturer presented all-white video cards. Design-wise, they're reminiscent of the Phantom Gaming GPUs, with their slight factory overclock, higher power limit, 0dB silent cooling mode, reinforced backplate, and wide, flattened heatpipe that runs through the heatsink.

The Phantom Gaming line is based on Radeon RX 7000 video cards based on the Navi 3X (RDNA 3) architecture. The unofficial leader of this family is the mid-range model Radeon RX 7600, whose performance is approximately on par with the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti and Radeon RX 6650 XT. By 2023 standards, this is an excellent option for owners of Full HD monitors who would not like to limit themselves to low or medium graphics settings, but at the same time do not plan to rely on hardware ray tracing. It is also quite possible to play 2K on it, but in this case you will have to lower the settings and use the FSR upscaler.
