+ AMD Radeon™
Award-winning design, top performance

Revolutionary FinFET 14 nm technology empowers the SAPPHIRE NITRO+ Radeon™ RX 470 graphics card to operate efficiently with low power consumption, staying cool and quiet. Great performance per watt results were achieved thanks to a multitude of custom AMD enhancements applied on top a tiny Polaris chip.

Class-leading DirectX 12 performance

Buckle up for world-class performance with all next-gen APIs. Powered by the 4th generation of Graphics Core Next (GCN) architecture featuring asynchronous shaders and an enhanced geometry engine, you will see massive performance boosts in games that use DirectX 12, Vulkan, OpenGL and OpenCL. Combined with a full 8 GB GDDR5 memory, you are guaranteed superior performance in future games.

“DirectX® 12 will be a transformative experience for millions of gamers, and it’s important that hardware vendors like AMD have a 360-degree view of the issue.” Robert Hallock, global technical marketing,

THE BEAUTY OF HDR

HDR

SDR

Featuring a brand new display engine, the Radeon™ RX 470 graphics card is ready to power the new generation of HDR displays, content and the future of gaming. Modeled after the acuity of human vision, HDR vastly expands the range of colors and contrast ratios that can be shown by compatible displays.

NEW DUAL-X COOLING

Rotate!

2x 95 mm Fans NITRO Free Flow Redesigned airflow 10% quieter Than previous cooler

SAPPHIRE's acclaimed Dual-X Cooling is powered by two massive yet silent fans and state-of-the-art radiator design. The new form of our 95 mm blades means greater airflow and superior heatsink coverage at lower noise compared to standard cooling designs. With NITRO Free Flow, we’ve redesigned the airflow of the entire card and board, so that the hot air is expelled through the system fan instead, rapidly dissipating heat.

FREEING THE FLOW

Traditional

NITRO Free Flow

In traditional graphics cards cooling design, some of the hot air hits the side case of the chassis and bounces back to the fan inlet, increasing the working temperature over time. Now with the NITRO Free Flow, that hot air is pushed out through the vents on the backplate, reducing the bounce back effects to minimum.

longer life Dual ball bearing fans Dust

MINIMUM NOISE,
MAXIMUM RELIABILITY

Two 95 mm fans with advanced airfoil section blades provide more powerful yet quieter cooling versus smaller standard fans. With dust-repelling dual ball bearings, Dual-X offers exceptional reliability.

FAN CHECK SYSTEM

With NITRO+ models, SAPPHIRE has upped the stakes with its new Fan Check, which allows users to check the cooler’s status via SAPPHIRE TriXX 3.0 software, and contact customer support in case of problems.

QUICK CONNECT

To resolve a specific fan issue, SAPPHIRE’s Quick Connect System provides a quick and easy solution. If there’s a fan issue detected, the user doesn’t need to return the entire card – SAPPHIRE’s partners will send out a replacement fan directly to the customer or the retailer. Please contact your place of purchase to request a fan replacement. SAPPHIRE’s channel partner will arrange the ideal solution for you to receive your replacement fan.

Intelligent Fan Control III

Zero dB Cooling

Enjoy complete silence under light workloads with entirely passive cooling. No spinning fans means no distractions while you work or chill.

NITRO Cool Tech

With the new NITRO Cool Tech you can set precise start and stop temperatures for your card’s fans, to smartly balance performance against fan noise.

NITRO GLOW

The graphics card is more than just another component; it’s the beating heart of your gaming system. It should look as good as it costs. With tasteful shroud design augmented by RGB LEDs, each card is practically a piece of art.

You can even change the colours of the LED, for your own customized design. This can be controlled via software using the latest version of SAPPHIRE’s Overclocking Utility TriXX 3.0, or through hardware by pressing the red button on the back of your SAPPHIRE NITRO Gaming Series card. You can choose from a set of five different modes including Fan Speed Mode, GPU Temperature Mode or the colourful rainbow mode. If you prefer, LEDs can also be turned off.

SLEEK DESIGN

Tough metal backplate

The all-aluminum backplate provides additional rigidity that guarantees nothing bends and dust stays out. It also helps cool your card by increasing heat dissipation.

ENGINEERED TO LAST

200,000 hour capacitors High-polymer, aluminum capacitors offering outstanding reliability.

Black Diamond 4 Chokes 10% cooler and 25% more power efficient than a normal choke. New Mark 4 chokes with built-in heatsinks reduce the coil temperatures by other 15% over the Mark 3s.

AMD FreeSync™

Put an end to screen tearing and enjoy fluid, artifact-free gaming. AMD FreeSync™ seamlessly matches your monitor's refresh rate with your RX 470's framerate.

Unlike competing technologies, there is no performance penalty, stuttering or input lag. AMD FreeSync™ is also fully compatible with Adaptive Sync, the new DisplayPort 1.2a standard, so you will never be limited to monitors using expensive proprietary hardware.
