Sapphire Nitro+ Graphics Cards
- Backplate- Provides rigidity and helps cool your card by increasing heat dissipation.
- Engineered
- ARGB- Personalize the look of your NITRO + card with its built-in ARGB and ARGB fans.
- Outputs- Choose from HDMI and DP slots for a maximum of 4 outputs
- Cooling - Innovative cooling technologies to ensure optimal performance and airflow.
Metal Backplate with Thermal Pad
The high quality aluminium backplate is not just for styling. It also protects the components on the backside of the PCB and helps dissipate the heat from the PCB with a high performance thermal pad in between.
High TG Copper PCB
The GPU is mounted on to the high-density 14 layer 2oz Copper and high TG PCB to match the rapid speed, high current and increased power requirement of the GPU and memory to guarantee high stability of the PCB during operation.
Optimized Composite Heatpipe
The composite heatpipes are fine-tuned for each individual cooling design with optimal heat flow, efficiently and evenly spreading out the heat to the entire cooling module.
Wave Fin Design & V-Shape Fin Design for GPU Cooling
The WAVE Fin Design reduces friction when the wind goes into the fin module resulting in a reduction of the wind cut noise.
The V-shape fin design on top of the GPU accelerates and centralizes the air flow around the GPU to dissipate heat efficiently.
Hybrid Fan Blade
The new hybrid fan design combines the quietness of a traditional axial fan design and strong air pressure of a blower fan design to generate an improvement in the downward air pressure through the fan while keeping the fan noise low.
Integrated Cooling Module
The combined Memory & VRM cooling module cools the memory, MOSFET, and the chokes.
Graphics Card Supporter
Bundled with a graphics card supporter to keep the graphics card in place on the PCIe Slot.
Fuse Protection
In order to protect your card, the SAPPHIRE cards have fuse protection built into the circuit of the external PCI-E power connector to keep the components safe.
Fan Quick Connect
If there’s a fan problem, you don’t have to return the entire card. SAPPHIRE or our channel partners will send out a replacement fan directly to you! That means they’re easy to remove, clean and replace, with just one screw holding them securely in place.
Two-Ball Bearing
These feature Dual Ball bearing fans, which have an approximately 85% longer lifespan than sleeve bearings in our tests. The improvements to the fan blades means the solution is up to 10% quieter than the previous generation.
Tri-X Cooling Technology
An innovative mixture of Robust VRM Cooling and independent memory thermal modules work in tandem to remove heat efficiently and effectively across all sections.
Tunnelled fins increase convection airflow and ensure wind continuously flows through the cooling and fan system.
Heat is dissipated by a trio of large efficient fans running anticlockwise to maximize airflow.

Radeon
FidelityFX Contrast Adaptive Sharpening
Brings out the Details
Contrast Adaptive Sharpening (CAS) helps increase visual quality by enabling stunning visual sharpness with optional upscaling to restore detail lost after Temporal Anti-Aliasing (TAA) is applied. For games that support FidelityFX CAS, turning off Radeon™ Image Sharpening in Radeon™ Software to avoid over-sharpening is recommended.
FidelityFX Ambient Occlusion
More Realistic Geometry Shading
AMD RDNA™ architecture-optimized Combined Adaptive Compute Ambient Occlusion (CACAO) dynamically and efficiently helps improve the appearance of objects based their exposure to ambient light.
FidelityFX Variable Shading
Get Performance with Quality
Uses AMD RDNA™ 2 architecture support for variable rate shading (VRS) to analyse luminance and motion of frames to help optimize rendering for optimal performance without lowering the image quality.
DirectX® Raytracing
Experience Photorealistic Games
DirectX Raytracing (DXR) adds a new level of graphics realism to games through effects like reflections, shadows, and global illumination at real-time frame rates on AMD Radeon™ RX 6000 series graphics, thanks to AMD RDNA™ 2 architecture support for hardware-accelerated raytracing.
