Based on the award-winning SPPHIRE NITRO+ RX 580 design, the SAPPHIRE NITRO+
RX 580 Special Edition has been factory overclocked at 1430 MHz boost engine
with 8.4 GHz effective memory. Complementing the SAPPHIRE NITRO Gear custom
backplate and shroud accessory family, the NITRO+ RX 580 Special Edition
features a stunning metallic blue shroud and backplate lit up by a blue LED fan.
Designed for quiet and powerful performance, the SAPPHIRE NITRO+ RX 580 Special
Edition delivers to gamers the optimal1440p gaming experience.
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.
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.
Nitro Glow 2
The graphics card is more than another component; its 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 SAPPHIREs 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.
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
SAPPHIREs Quick Connect System provides a quick and easy solution. If theres
a fan issue detected, the user doesnt need to return the entire card SAPPHIREs
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.
SAPPHIREs 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.
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 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
Crossfireâ„¢
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 whats 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 AMDs 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.
