Sapphire Tech Launches Radeon RX 470 Graphics Card

This Graphics Card is cooled by two 95mm fans, sports HDMI 2.0b and customizable RDB LED lighting system.

 

Sapphire Tech has finally launched Nitro+ Radeon RX 470 graphics card, specially meant for mainstream gamers who prefer 1080p.

Speaking about the technical specifications, the Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX 470 cards come equipped with 2048 GCN-based stream processors and 256-bit memory interface. The 8 GB model has a GPU boost clock of 1260 MHz (1121 MHz base) and memory clocked at 2000 MHz for 8 Gbps throughput. The 4 GB model is also factory-overclocked to 1260 MHz boost clock (1143 MHz base), with the memory clock set to 1750 MHz for 7 Gbps bandwidth.

Also, the Radeon RX 470 features improved Dual-X cooling with two 95 mm dual-ball bearing fans that have an 85% longer lifespan compared to fans with sleeve bearings. The heat is transferred to the heatsink by a set of 3 heatpipes (2x 8mm and 1x 6mm). The improvements to the fan blades means the solution is up to 10% quieter than the previous generation while providing an even greater heatsink coverage.

The new Radeon GPU comes with support for HDMI 2.0b and DisplayPort 1.4 to enable support for the latest monitors: 1080p @240Hz, 1440p @240Hz, 4K @120Hz, or even ultrawide 1440p @190Hz.

The Polaris chip features a hardware encoding/decoding for 4K recording using H.265 codec up to 60 FPS, making high-quality streaming and gameplay recordings a new reality with virtually no performance hit.

The GPU also comes with Nitro Glow, a tasteful shroud design augemented by RGD LEDs which can be customized by users using a software called Sapphire TriXX 3.0 utility or through hardware by pressing the red button on the back of the card.
