Circuit Board (PCB) Analysis
Sapphire's VRM solution for the NITRO+ is decent, and the company didn't go overboard like the XFX Fatboy.
An OnSemi NCP81022 VRM controller manages the 6-phase GPU voltage.
A single-phase VRM is used for memory.
The GDDR5 memory chips are made by Micron and carry the model number D9VVR, which decodes to MT51J256M32HF-80:B. They are specified to run at 2000 MHz (8 Gbps GDDR5 effective).
AMD's "Polaris 30" graphics processor looks identical to the "Polaris 20" package. It is produced on a 12 nm process at GlobalFoundries and has a transistor count of 5.7 billion, with a die size of 232 mm², which is the same as the 14 nm "Polaris 10."
