The Radeon VII offers quality performance in all sorts of tasks like gaming, VR and 3D rendering while keeping up the efficiency thanks to the new 7nm architecture.
The graphics card comes loaded with all the AMD exclusive features like Freesync 2 HDR technology which completely supports 8K resolution for creators to explore more and more. It also has three DisplayPort 1.4 and one HDMI 2.0b ports to support up to four displays for multi-monitor output.
The triple fan setup allows the GPU to stay cool despite a heavy workload and keeps the ASRock mean look.
