Sapphire Tech will finally launch the latest NITRO+ Radeon RX 480 graphics card next week, much to the delight of computer gamers.
The new addition to the NITRO+ line will reportedly improve the VR experience of players by adding new features that will help avoid motion sickness and nausea while playing. This was made possible by incorporating the AMD Liquid VR initiative that comes with the brand-new Asynchronous shaders.
The new NITRO+ Radeon RX 480 graphics card was also reportedly made with future-ready technologies in mind. It includes a combination of the Polaris architecture and the ground-breaking FinFET 14 process technology as well as the latest gating and clocking technologies from AMD to ensure that the graphics card will provide an exceptional and cool gaming experience.
The Hong Kong-based tech firm will drop two versions of the NITRO+ Radeon RX 480 graphics card on the market. One is the NITRO+ Radeon RX 480 card with 8GB capacity, which comes with an 1342MHz boost clock, 8Gbps GDDR5 memory clock and 8GB VRAM. This version will cost $269 upon release. On the other hand, the NITRO+ Radeon RX 480 with 4GB will have a 1306MHz boost clock, 7Gbps GDDR5 memory clock and 4GB VRAM. This will have a more affordable price of $219 in its release date.
Other notable features of the upcoming NITRO+ Radeon RX 480 include the enhanced Dual-X cooling system with two 95 mm fans with improved blades made to lessen the noise by at least 10 percent compared to the previous edition of the Dual-X cooler; the NITRO Glow customizable RGB LED lighting system; and the Fan Health System, a software-based feature that will monitor the graphic card's fan health.
The two versions of the Sapphire NITRO+ Radeon RX 480 graphics card are expected to ship worldwide in the coming days.
