Come September, it’ll be approximately five months since AMD went on the offensive with the reveal and launch of the Radeon RX 400-series cards for the midrange market.

So with all of that in mind, where does the Sapphire RX 480 Nitro land? Well if you are on the market for an RX 480 the Nitro is a much better option than the reference card. Not only will you see better performance, but it also ran cooler and quieter. It does cost a little more but the performance makes up the difference.

The card stays cool and quiet, though you can raise the fan speed and even the card speed as well to better suite your gaming or professional needs

In video talked about liking quality of the build as well as getting good overclock from the card

I really like the simple but sophisticated appearance of the Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX480. It has a very simple outward appearance. Again, going back to the purpose built, it doesn’t need a lot of flash and flair to cool well. On the back, a nice solid aluminum backplate finishes the card off well.

With specific regard to the most SAPPHIRE NITRO Radeon RX 460 4G D5, then to equip it, we did not have any complaints. Engineers have increased its power system (4 + 1 phase design and an optional 6-pin PCIe) and use high-quality element base, ensuring stable and reliable operation even in manual overclocking. Do not forget about the efficient and quiet cooling system Dual-X, which is not only a good job with its main task, but also appreciate the high power reserves for overclocking experiments and silent operation at low loads.

Появата на Radeon RX 470 донякъде съвпадна и с появата на първите нереферентни версии на Radeon RX 480, но наред с това имаме и самите нереферентни модели Radeon RX 470. Едно от първите предложения на компютърният пазар за Radeon RX 470 идва от Sapphire с тяхната 8 GB платка Nitro+ Radeon RX 470. Както ще видите след малко, от AMD са имали достатъчно добра причина да предоставят възможността на своите партньори сами да създадат собствени версии на RX 470, с които да започне пазарното присъствие на този графичен ускорител, без дори да минаваме първоначално през референтна платка.

Sapphire is al lange tijd één van AMD's trouwste partners. Voor deze nieuwe generatie kaarten heeft de fabrikant dan ook een volledig nieuwe koeler ontwikkeld, die nog steeds Dual-X wordt genoemd. Het uiterlijk is echter compleet anders, met twee relatief grote 95mm-ventilatoren als hoogtepunt. Daardoor steekt de kaart wel flink uit boven de standaardhoogte van een uitbreidingsslot: hij meet 12,1 cm en is 24 cm lang.

Sapphire Radeon RX 460 Nitro 4GB demonstrated an acceptable level of performance in games at Full HD resolution. Moreover, in Dota 2, Overwatch, League of Legends, Heroes of the Storm, CS: GO and other popular games among gamers can safely put the ultra settings. We were pleased with DX12 support, Vulkan, streaming video and other advanced technologies. On the plus side we put the quiet operation of the cooling system, pretty design, lighting and the possibility of manual overclocking.
