In March of this year, NVIDIA came up with a controversial GPP cooperation plan, requiring graphics card manufacturers to have their brand of gaming products exclusively owned by GeForce graphics cards. To put it bluntly, it is to eliminate rivals.
In view of NVIDIA's leading position in the game card market, many manufacturers have followed suit. For example, Asustek has separated AMD graphics cards from the ROG brand and set up AREZ alone. The A card under the MSI Gaming series disappeared silently, and Gigabyte AORUS disappeared. The vulture is also almost insulated from the A card.
Because of the controversy, NVIDIA gave up the GPP plan in early May, but the impact has already been caused. Manufacturers set up to promote new brands, design product images, and packaging are all costly. It is said that Asus has invested millions of dollars in the past. .
ASUS's AREZ series of graphics cards were originally planned to be available at the end of May, but I don't know why it has been delayed until recently.
The first batch includes two products, one is RX Vega 64 AREZ-STRIX-RXVEGA64-O8G-GAMING, and the other is RX 550 AREZ-PH-RX550-2G.
Both from the box to the product itself removed the ROG and the eye of the loser, replaced with AREZ.
The AREZ RX Vega 64 is priced at $749.99 and is limited to $59.99 for Far Cry 5It is quite cost-effective to calculate it - the same money in the country is 5699 yuan, but it still belongs to the ROG Strix series in the country.
AREZ RX 550 is priced at $119.99 Not too expensive.
In fact, Asus is still very concerned about the AREZ brand, the previous news shows that the first batch was prepared. Up to 26 new cards Not only are there nearly two generations of RX Vega 64/56, RX 580/570/560, but also earlier R7 240, R5 230, and even the old HD 6450, which should be available in succession.
