There are also 96 or 80 MB Infinity cache.
All five PCI-E 4.0 cards from Asrock have three DisplayPort 2.1 connectors and one HDM 2.1 each, while the XTs use two 8-pin power connectors and the XTX models use three.

On top of that, Taichi and Phantom Gaming have backplates, reinforcing metal frames, ARGB lighting, finned fans, and 0dB modes.
