The Sapphire Nitro RX 480 comes with a full coverage black metal back plate to help protect the components on the back of the card and to add rigidity to the card to keep it from looking saggy on the far side of the PCIe x16 slot interface. Sapphire recommends a 500W or greater power supply for your gaming system with this 150W TDP video card model. You can also see one of the 4-pin fan headers of the 95mm cooling fans. One of the biggest selling features of the Sapphire Nitro RX 480 is the 8-pin PCIe power connector that is located on the end of the card.

The Sapphire Nitro Radeon RX 480 4GB is a decently sized card that measures in at 240mm x 120mm x 42mm (L x W x H), so at just 9.5-inches in length it should fit in the majority of desktop PCs. The model that we’ll be looking at today is the Sapphire Radeon RX 480 4GB that is priced at $219, whereas the Sapphire Nitro Radeon RX 480 8GB is priced at $269. Be sure to take a close look at the clock speeds if you have your mind set on the RX 480! Those are of course the default ‘Nitro Boost’ clock speeds, but you can switch to ‘silent’ mode and then both card runs at 1266MHz. The Sapphire Nitro Radeon RX 480 8GB is clocked at 1342MHz on the core and 8Gbps on the memory. On the Sapphire Nitro Radeon RX 480 4GB it is factory overclocked to 1306MHz on the core and 7.5Gbps on the memory. This means it is up to AMDs board partners to set the clock speeds. The AMD Radeon RX 480 8GB reference design was clocked at 1266MHz boost with 8Gbps memory speeds while the AMD Radeon RX 480 4GB reference card featured the same core clock, but uses 7Gbps or higher memory. When shopping for an AMD Radeon RX 480 graphics card youll find that there are 4GB and 8GB versions available and that core and memory clocks on the 4GB cards will vary between manufactures. At $20 more than the reference design ($199) it looks like Sapphires Nitro Radeon RX 480 was a God send and could be the Radeon RX 480 to own. The board designers then placed an 8-pin PCIe power connector instead of a 6-pin to ensure the Polaris GPU on the RX 480 is getting all the power it needs and then some. The Nitro Radeon RX 480 solves the high temperature and loud noise levels by featuring a large GPU cooler with three copper heatpipes and dual fans. The Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX 480 4GB video card is finally here! Forget the woes of the AMD Radeon RX 480 reference design as this custom card could possibly solve all the GPU cooler and power concerns may had.
