Circuit Board (PCB) Analysis

The overall VRM solution is pretty premium for a card of this price-segment. At its heart is an International Rectifier IR35217 controller. This is the same chip that controls VRM on the RX Vega 64 reference design. This chip can drive 6+2 phases. On this card, each of the six GPU power phases is directly wired to the controller, with no doublers in between. A single-phase memory circuit (on the left of the picture) is also managed by this controller. XFX also used premium International Rectifier PowIRstage IR3578 6x6 driver MOSFETs. These parts combine up/down FETs, a Schottky diode, and driver IC into a single package. Also on tap is a 1 MHz switching frequency. The top-side has a large exposed metal (switch) contact for better heat dissipation.


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."
