To continuous streamlining of FinFET 14 nm production process, the
latest Polaris GPUs that power SAPPHIRE NITRO+ Radeon RX 580 cards
are even more energy-efficient. This allowed SAPPHIRE to crank up
the clocks and reach up to 10% better performance compared to
previous series. To add even more headroom for overclocking.
Factory overclocked cores of the standard SAPPHIRE NITRO+ RX 580
run with a 1411 MHz boost clock.
4th generation Graphics Core Next GPUs of the Radeon RX 500 Series
feature improved geometry engine, new display engine, increased
caches and native asynchronous shaders. Equipped with 2304
GCN-based stream processors, the SAPPHIRE NITRO+ Radeon RX 580 is
the card to run modern games in 1080p and beyond, as well as
deliver premium VR experiences.
Fuse protection
In order to protect your card, the SAPPHIRE NITRO+ series cards
have fuse protection built into the circuit of the external PCI-E
power connector to keep the components safe.
Precision fan control
Standard industry fans may have up to 10% difference between their
fan rotation cycles (RPM). With the new Fan IC Control on SAPPHIRE
NITRO + graphics cards, this differential is reduced to 3%. This
70% improvement on accuracy ensures that cooling and noise
performance of every NITRO + card is up to scratch.
Robust VRM Cooling
The SAPPHIRE NITRO+ cards are designed with robust VRM cooling and
have a high thermal conductivity pad on the backplate to take away
the heat efficiently and effectively.
Nitro Glow 2
The graphics card is more than another component; it’s the beating
heart of your gaming system. It should look as good as it costs.
With tasteful shroud design augmented by RGB LEDs, each card is
practically a piece of art. You can even change the colours of the
LED, for your own customized design. This can be controlled via
software using the latest version of SAPPHIRE’s Award Winning
Overclocking Utility – TriXX 3.0. Users can choose from a set of
five different modes including Fan Speed Mode, PCB Temperature Mode
or the colourful rainbow mode. If you prefer, LEDs can also be
turned off.
Black Diamond Choke 4
Our Black Diamond Chokes are 10% cooler and 25% more power
efficient than a normal choke - and these Mark 4 Chokes reduce the
coil temperatures by other 15% over the Mark 3s.
These exclusive chokes will maintain gaming stability using their
built-in heatsinks and help minimize coil whine
Dual Ball Bearing - 1.85X longer life
Dual ball bearings on the fan spindles ensure smooth running and
long life and are designed to keep out dust. A quiet cooling
solution, Two ball-bearing fan features a high-efficiency blade
design.
Long life black polymer cap
High quality aluminum-made long life capacitor is not only to
extend the component life time, the product reliability and
overclocking ability are also improved. When operational
temperatures dropped by 20°C, the product life span is going to be
extended up to a factor of ten. In addition, when the operational
temperature increased by 20°C, the product life span only decreased
by 10%.
Fan Check
With NITRO+ models, SAPPHIRE has upped the stakes with its new Fan
Check, which allows users to check the cooler's status via SAPPHIRE
TriXX 3.0 software, and contact customer support in case of
problems.
NITRO Quick Connect
SAPPHIRE’s Quick Connect System provides a quick and easy solution.
If there’s a fan issue detected, the user doesn’t need to return
the entire card – SAPPHIRE’s partners will send out a replacement
fan directly to the customer or the retailer. Please contact your
place of purchase to request a fan replacement. SAPPHIRE’s channel
partner will arrange the ideal solution for you to receive your
replacement fan.
NITRO CoolTech
With the SAPPHIRE NITRO Gaming Series cards’ Intelligent Fan
Control III, the fan starts precisely at 56 degrees Celsius to
smartly balance performance against fan noise.
NITRO Free Flow
We looked at the traditional axial fan design system, and found
that the way it circulates the hot air back to the fan inlet
resulted in a higher temperature over time. With NITRO Free Flow
(NFF) we redesigned the airflow of the entire cooler and board, so
that the hot air is expelled through the system fan instead,
rapidly dissipating heat.
NITRO Boost
The new NITRO Boost switch increases the boost clock and power
limit for higher performance to unleash the gaming performance of
the card.
Planning to overclock or looking for maximum performance? SAPPHRE
NITRO cards come with an 8 pin power connector to plug in and
enable Nitro Boost.
Dual-X Cooling
SAPPHIRE's acclaimed Dual-X Cooling is powered by two massive yet
silent fans and state-of-the-art radiator design. The new form of
our 95mm blades mean greater airflow and superior heatsink coverage
at lower noise compared to standard cooling designs.
These feature dual ball bearing fans, which have an 85% longer
lifespan than sleeve bearings in our tests.
VR Friendly
The SAPPHIRE NITRO Gaming Series cards come with Dual HDMI ports,
specifically designed to work with VR. By having two HDMI ports,
you can have both an HD monitor and cutting-edge VR headset running
at the same time.
The ports are HDMI 2.0b, the latest update, with an 18Gbps
bandwidth, up to 32 audio channels, and is able to support 4K 50/60
resolutions like 2160P, whilst remaining entirely backwards
compatible with older HDMI specifications.
Frame Rate Target Control
Frame Rate Target Control (FRTC) enables users to set a target
maximum frame rate when playing an application in full screen mode;
the benefit being that FRTC can reduce GPU power consumption (great
for games running at frame rates much higher than the display
refresh rate) and therefore reduce heat generation and fan
speeds/noise on the graphics card.
Frame Rate Target Control caps performance not only in 3D rendered
in-game scenes, but also in splash screens, loading screens and
menus, where frame rates can often run needlessly into the hundreds
of FPS. Users might wish to set a very high cap just to limit
wasteful FPS like that seen in menus and such, while still taking
advantage of the responsiveness given by FPS well beyond 60.
DirectX 12
DirectX 12 is a new, “console-like” graphics API from Microsoft
that empowers game developers with more direct and obvious control
of PC hardware. This direct or “explicit” control better exposes
the hardware resources of AMD Radeon GPUs to yield higher hardware
throughput and, ultimately, more performance for users. To put it
simply: much more efficient hardware through smarter software! At
the discretion of a game developer, this superior efficiency can be
spent on higher framerates, lower latency (VR), lower power
consumption, better image quality, or some calculated balance of
all four. In any scenario, gamers stand to benefit greatly from
choosing AMD hardware to run their favorite DirectX 12 game.
AMD Freesync technology
No stuttering. No tearing. Just gaming.
AMD FreeSync™ technology allows a compatible graphics card and
monitor to dynamically change frame rates for the optimum display
quality without tearing or stuay.
Industry-Standard Displayport
Freesync uses industry-standard displayport Adaptive-Sync
Eliminates screen tearing without all the usual lag and
latency
- Synchronizes the refresh rate of a compatible monitor to the
frame rate of your content, however much it varies
- Monitor partners are validating with drivers from AMD now
AMD XConnect Technology
Plug in and game on with AMD XConnect technology.
Now it’s easier than ever to connect and use an external Radeon
graphics card. With AMD XConnect technology, external GPU
enclosures configured with Radeon Graphics can easily connect and
disconnect to a compatible ultrathin notebook or 2-in 1 over
Thunderbolt 3 at any time, just like a USB flash drive—a first for
external GPUs!
AMD Eyefinity Technology
Multidisplay technology for gaming, productivity and
entertainment
We are taking you beyond the boundaries of traditional PC displays.
AMD Eyefinity technology expands the traditional limits of desktop
computing by multiplying your screen area. With multiple monitors,
games become more immersive, workstations become more useful and
you become more productive (an average of 42% more productive
according to one study).
Take your PC games to the next level of reality and immersion. Most
modern games look great on three screens, and only AMD Radeon™
graphics offer you the ability to play across five screens for an
eye-popping gaming experience. Other combinations and
configurations with up to six screens work too.1 Create your dream
display.
AMD Crossfire
Harness the power of multiple GPUs
AMD CrossFire technology is the ultimate multi-GPU performance
gaming platform. Unlocking game-dominating power, AMD CrossFire
harnesses the power of two or more discrete graphics cards working
in parallel to dramatically improve gaming performance.1 AMD
CrossFire technology ready graphics cards fit practically every
budget. With the flexibility to combine two, three or four GPUs,
AMD CrossFire technology is the perfect solution for those who
demand extreme performance.
Introducing AMD LiquidVR
LiquidVR is an AMD initiative dedicated to making VR as comfortable
and realistic as possible by creating and maintaining what’s known
as “presence” — a state of immersive awareness where situations,
objects, or characters within the virtual world seem “real.” Guided
by close collaboration with key technology partners in the
ecosystem, LiquidVR uses AMD’s GPU software and hardware
sub-systems to tackle the common issues and pitfalls of achieving
presence, such as reducing motion-to-photon latency to less than 10
milliseconds. This is a crucial step in addressing the common
discomforts, such as motion sickness, that may occur when you turn
your head in a virtual world and it takes even a few milliseconds
too long for a new perspective to be shown.
HDR Ready
High Dynamic Range (HDR) is a state-of-the-art technology for
gamers and cinephiles that care deeply about the display quality of
their TV or monitor. Modeled after the acuity of human vision, HDR
vastly expands the range of colors and contrast ratios that can be
shown by compatible displays. HDR-ready games and movies played on
an HDR display appear strikingly sharp, colorful, and vivid, with
enhanced contrast and sophisticated nuance compared to even the
most stunning SDR content.
