ASRock has stated in an interview with QuasarZone that while making NVIDIA GPUs will be difficult for the company, it isn't entirely impossible.

ASRock's GPU Division May Hop Onboard The NVIDIA Bandwagon In The Future But Not At The Moment

ASRock's entry into the realm of graphics cards has been fairly recent. Their first graphics cards were based on AMD's Polaris GPUs which were introduced with the Radeon RX 500 series and it was later extended with newer AMD Radeon and Intel Arc GPUs. The company is one of the few manufacturers to offer both AMD & Intel GPUs and has been doing fairly well with competitive products from both brands.

There has been speculation regarding the company jumping on board the NVIDIA bandwagon too, however, that might not be in the plans as of right now. The interview with ASRock's Korean HQ rep states that manufacturing both NVIDIA and AMD GPUs is something that can only be achieved by well-established manufacturers such as ASUS, MSI & Gigabyte who have been in operation for a long time now.

ASRock recognizes NVIDIA's position as an "overwhelming" force in the GPU segment however, the manufacturing of NVIDIA GPUs comes with its complexities. The company states that as of right now, it is difficult for them to manufacture NVIDIA GPUs but doesn't rule out the possibility that there won't ever be ASRock-branded NVIDIA GPUs in the market. We have seen big manufacturers such as EVGA and XFX drop out from manufacturing NVIDIA GPUs but that opens up the space for newer manufacturers.

ASRock has an extensive lineup of products and while making NVIDIA GPUs requires specialized tools, equipment, PCBs and other R&D which comes with their financial costs, it looks like in the future as ASRock continues to get a grip on the GPU market, we can see more developments from them.
