Coming to the specifications, the ASRock Phantom Gaming X RX Vega 64 features 4096 stream processors clocked at 1247 MHz base and 1546 MHz boost clock. The card adopts 8 GB HBM2 VRAM clocked at 945 MHz. along with a 2048-bit bus interface.

As mentioned before, the cards utilize the reference PCB and cooler design. We are looking at the mesh design on the front with a Radeon logo on the top and side. The blower fan has the ASRock Phantom Gaming logo instead of the Radeon "R". The card also uses a custom designed backplate which reads Phantom Gaming and looks great.

The reason why ASRock isn't offering a custom board yet is due to the fact that RX Vega is still not available in good quantities. Manufacturers want to maximize profits with this card because custom cooling or not, users who want to buy Vega will buy it regardless, even as a reference model.
