Overview
THE NEW SAPPHIRE NITRO SERIES IS AN EVOLUTION OF OUR MARKET-LEADING,
AWARD-WINNING, HIGH-END GRAPHICS CARD TECHNOLOGY – NOW MADE ACCESSIBLE FOR THE
PC GAMER.
Designed from the ground up, weve crammed in everything you need (and left
out everything you don't) to maximize the gaming experience for your budget. The
SAPPHIRE NITRO series boasts a range of features previously reserved for
high-end cards, including long-life capacitors and award-winning Black Diamond
Chokes, as well as our award-winning cooling solutions. Its sleek, elegant
contours have been designed to suit any build. And the latest graphics
architecture from AMD ensures fast, reliable gaming, performance tuned for any
level of gamer.
So whatever kind of gamer you are, the SAPPHIRE NITRO series offers you the
maximum gaming experience for your budget.
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.
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!
Virtual Super Resolution
Virtual Super Resolution (VSR) is an AMD feature that is game and engine
agnostic to simulate Super-Sampling Anti-Aliasing (SSAA) in games that do not
have native SSAA support. VSR can also be used in conjunction with other native
in-game anti-aliasing for even more game graphics-setting control. VSR allows
games to render at higher resolutions (up to 4K; see the Virtual Super
Resolution Support table, below) and then rescales them down to a lower native
display resolution. Using this, you can get quality that rivals up to 4K, even
on a 1080p display while playing your favorite games.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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

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.
NITRO Quick Connect
If theres a fan problem, you dont have to return the entire card SAPPHIRE or
our channel partners will send out a replacement fan directly to you! All the
SAPPHIRE NITRO + Radeon RX480 and RX470 fans use our Quick Connect system. That
means theyre easy to remove, clean and replace, with just one screw holding them
securely in place.
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.
Two-ball bearing
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.
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.
