Sapphire RX 460 NITRO has good overclocking potential thanks to external power coming through 6-pin connector.

It’s actually very easy, and hopefully this is the last time I had to do it. Two screws need to be removed in order replace the fan. One of the biggest invention of the new Dual-X cooler are removable fans. Here you can see the GPU up close and copper base on the cooler. The label on the memory was almost impossible to read, but it looks like Micron D9SSY. Those are Black Diamond Chokes 4, and according to Sapphire, they will reduce temperature by 15% over Mark 3. You could actually compare it to the memory module. Despite knowing the exact dimensions of the die, I was still surprised how small this processor really is compared to others. This was the first time I saw Baffin GPU with my own eyes. There’s also a small heat spreader over the VRM. Heat dissipating base covers GPU and memory. The cooler has two heat pipes and massive, at least comparing to GPU, fin array. NITRO RX 460 has three display connectors: DVI-D, DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI 2.0. NITRO logo is illuminated by green diodes hidden under few layers of the PCB. Before I leave you with some pictures, bear in mind that they were taken before I discovered that there’s actually a protection foil on the fan stickers.Īlthough RX 460 does not require additional power connectors, NITRO has single 6-pin connector to allow more overclocking headroom. Some elements on the sides are finished with glossy paint, so you need to avoid touching those unless you want to leave some marks. The top shroud is not a fingerprint magnet, but it attracts the dust. The card is average in size (14x22cm), but it’s really light compared to most cards I own (495g). It arrived in a surprisingly small box, but all Sapphire RX 400 cards, no matter if high-end or entry-level, get similar packaging. For our review we decided to buy the NITRO, just to see how good is the new Dual-X cooler and to avoid running into 2GB VRAM limit.įirst impression was rather positive.
There’s NITRO featuring 4GB of GDDR5 memory, and 2GB model with slightly different cooler. Sapphire currently offers two RX 460 models.
