The SAPPHIRE NITRO+ Radeon RX 570 graphics card allows you to game and entertain better. It goes far beyond the thrills brought by the AMD Polaris architecture, 14nm manufacturer process, HDR, DirectX 12, premium VR, AMD FreeSync, AMD Eyefinity and AMD Crossfire. It comes with NITRO CoolTech and dual-X cooling for robust cooling for both the GPU and VRM when 56-degrees Celsius is reached. High-quality components ensure amazing stability while NITRO Boost helps extract more power for better performance. And most importantly, no FPS will be wasted with Frame Rate Target Control.
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. With this software, users can contact customer support with any problems.
SAPPHIRE's Quick Connect System provides a quick and easy solution. If there's a fan issue detected, the user doesn't need to return the entire card—SAPPHIRE's 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. SAPPHIRE's channel partner will arrange the ideal solution for you to receive your replacement fan.
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.
The new NITRO Boost switch increases the boost clock and power limit to unleash prime gaming performance from 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.
SAPPHIRE's acclaimed Dual-X Cooling is powered by two massive yet silent fans and a state-of-the-art radiator design. The new form of our 95mm blades means 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.
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 backward compatible with older HDMI specifications.
Two BIOS are installed on the GPU. Use the dual-BIOS switch to enter the first BIOS (Boost by default) for a higher boosted clock and power limit for overclocking. Or fire up the second BIOS for gaming at the base clock.
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 issues. Users may set a very high cap just to limit wasteful FPS like that seen in menus, while still taking advantage of the responsiveness given by FPS well beyond 60.
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.
No stuttering. No tearing. Just gaming.
AMD FreeSync technology allows a compatible graphics card and monitor to dynamically change frame rates for optimum display quality without tearing or stuttering.
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!
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. Create your dream display.
AMD CrossFire technology is the ultimate multi-GPU performance gaming platform. Unlocking game-dominating power, AMD CrossFire harnesses the power of two or more single-GPU discrete graphics cards working in parallel to dramatically improve gaming performance. AMD CrossFire-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.
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.
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 components safe.
Standard industry fans may have up to a 10% difference between their fan rotations-per-minute cycles (RPM). With the new Fan Integrated-Circuit (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.
The SAPPHIRE NITRO+ cards are designed with robust VRM cooling and have a high thermal conductivity pad on the backplate to take away the heat efficiently and effectively.
This graphics card is more than just another component, it's the beating heart of your gaming system and it should look as good as it costs. With a tasteful shroud-design augmented by RGB LEDs, each card is practically a piece of art. You can even change the colors of the LEDs to fit your own customized design. This can be controlled via software using the latest version of SAPPHIRE's 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 colorful Rainbow Mode. If you prefer, the LEDs can also be turned off.
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 another 15% over the Mark 3s. These exclusive chokes will maintain gaming stability using their built-in heatsinks and help minimize coil whine.
Dual-ball bearings on the fan spindles ensure smooth running, high durability and are designed to keep out dust. A quiet cooling solution, the two ball-bearing fans both feature a high-efficiency blade design.
The high-quality-aluminum and long-life capacitor is not only there to extend the graphics card's lifetime, it also serves to improve product reliability and its effective overclocking ability. When operational temperatures drop by 20-degrees Celsius, the product's lifespan can be extended by up to a factor of ten. In addition, when the operational temperature increases 20-degrees Celsius, the product lifespan only decreases by 10%.
