Sapphire Radeon RX 5700 XT NITRO+ Special Edition Pictured
Here are some of the first pictures of a new "Special Edition" or SE variant of Sapphire's premium Radeon RX 5700 XT NITRO+ graphics card. The card introduces a higher factory-overclock than the original NITRO+, including a memory overclock, and a cosmetic change. To begin with, the NITRO+ SE ships with 14.4 Gbps overclocked GDDR6 memory, whereas the original NITRO+ sticks to the reference 14 Gbps.
Sapphire also dialed up the maximum engine boost frequency to 2035 MHz (vs. 2010 MHz on the original NITRO+). Sapphire also gave the card a cosmetic update. The three fans now come with transparent impellers that are illuminated with their own four RGB LEDs, each. The Special Edition will be a limited SKU, available in select markets from November 15, priced above the original NITRO+, at 520€ (including VAT).

No RX 5700 XT should cost that much, no matter how good its cooler is. This makes no sense
Later, you can upgrade it to SLI and get a good 4k gaming system, but the RADEON 5700XT has already used 4 cores in the design and cannot be upgraded to CF. For budget PC it is too expensive .
As for price, this is only €20 over the regular sku. In US this wouldn't translate to $125 difference since EU price includes VAT. This will probably end up costing $20 extra over regular sku in the States.

€499, €30 over the regular model.
Over here if you order it from CaseKing you'll actually pay less than Polish stores charge you for regular model.
And the cheaper 2070 supers probably still have better temps and less cooling requirements
