ASRock has shared its initial lineup of AMD Radeon RX 6800 Series graphics cards, which comprise two reference models and four custom variants belonging to the Taichi, Phantom Gaming, and Challenger Pro brands: the Radeon RX 6800 XT Taichi X 16G OC, Radeon RX 6800 XT Phantom Gaming D 16G OC, Radeon RX 6800 Phantom Gaming D 16G OC, and Radeon RX 6800 Challenger Pro 16G OC.

Unfortunately, ASRock hasn’t published any of their clock speeds yet, but we can see that the company has doubled down on the gamer aesthetic for the majority of its custom models (the Challenger Pro seems to be the only one that doesn’t call too much attention to itself). Some of the key features that they share include Polychrome SYNC (ARGB customization), striped axial fans, a metal backplate, and 0 dB silent cooling.
