Sapphire's ready for the Radeon RX 6000 series

All Nitro+ series RX 6800 series graphics cards from Sapphire will feature the same backplate design, which features an RGB illuminated Nitro logo and a backplate which is partially vented at its rear. Below, we can also see that AMD's RX 6800 series GPUs will feature a tonne of capacitors on the rear of their graphics core.


RX 6800/6800 XT Nitro+

When compared to the RX 6800 XT Nitro+ SE, the RX 6800 and RX 6800 XT Nitro+ will lack the RGB illuminated fans which are included with Sapphire's premium model. This graphics card also switches the SE's USB Type-C display output with an addition DisplayPort connection.

This means that the RX 6800 XT Nitro+ SE features changes that go beyond the addition of RGB fans and higher clocked RX 6800 XT silicon. This altered display output configuration requires minor PCB/component changes. At this time, it is unknown how useful this USB Type-C display connection will become, though it is expected to be useful for use with VR headsets like the Oculus Quest 2.




Sapphire RX 6800/6800 XT Pulse

With the RX 6800/6800 XT Pulse, we can see that the graphics card appears to be devoid of RGB lighting and features the same display output configuration as the RX 6800 XT Nitro+ (non-SE).

In design terms, the graphics card is similar to the RX 6800 XT Nitro+, featuring three large cooling fans, a ventilated backplate and dual 8-pin PCIe power inputs.
