The ASRock Arc B570 Challenger ships in a mostly black box, but with the Arc branding in the bottom right corner giving us a splash of colour. On the back, ASRock highlights various key features of the card itself.
Included accessories are minimal, with just a quick-start guide and another leaflet with a QR code which points users to Intel's own Arc Quick Start Guide.
As for the card itself, it's a relatively conventional-looking design, with a black plastic shroud that's accented with some reflective areas, alongside the Challenger branding. It's obviously a dual-fan unit, and each fan measures approximately 100mm in diameter.
In terms of its size, the Challenger is a little bit bigger than the B580 Limited Edition, but it's still a compact dual-slot card. Its official dimensions come in at 249 x 132 x 41mm.
The front side of the card is home to the ASRock and Intel Arc logos, plus there's a small blue/green LED strip which you can see in our video review.
Pleasingly, ASRock has fitted a metal backplate to the card – I, for one, never want to see a cheap plastic backplate ever again so this is a positive move. It also features a large flow-through cut-out, to allow air to pass directly through the heatsink.
Power is supplied by a single 8-pin connector, while we find 3x DisplayPort 2.1 and 1x HDMI 2.1 video connectors. Please note, the middle DP port is rated for UHBR13.5 bandwidth, while the others are UHBR10.
