The Card

Sapphire's Nitro cooler design looks very clean and stylish, with black matte as its primary color and gray and silver highlights. You will find a nice metal backplate on the back. Dimensions of the card are 30.5 cm x 12.5 cm.


Installation requires two slots in your system. The cooler does extend a few millimeters beyond the slot cover, which won't pose a problem in any configuration I can think of.


Display connectivity options include one DVI port, a HDMI port, and three DisplayPorts.

The GPU also includes an HDMI sound device. It is HDMI 1.4a compatible, which includes HD audio and Blu-ray 3D movies support.


A physical CrossFire connector is not present since all recent AMD GPUs send their CrossFire data via the PCI-Express bus.
