An incredible series of well-crafted graphics cards designed to boost your gaming experience
NITRO Charged for Gamers
The SAPPHIRE NITRO+ AMD Radeon™ RX 7900 Series Gaming Graphics Cards architecture will be available in these outstanding models:
Introducing SAPPHIRE PANTHEON
At the core of the NITRO+ Graphics Cards series are the technologies of the SAPPHIRE PANTHEON Suite of permanent features. SAPPHIRE PANTHEON guarantees supreme cooling technology and other distinct features exclusive to NITRO+ graphics cards. Each NITRO+ iconic feature stands as strong and permanent as the pillars of the PANTHEON. Every NITRO+ Graphics Card guarantees the presence of the stable, reliable and innovative SAPPHIRE PANTHEON suite of features.
Vapor-X Cooling is BACK
The NITRO+ AMD Radeon™ RX 7900 Vapor-X Series Graphics Cards are fitted out with the iconic Vapor-X Cooling. The Vapor Chamber is mounted in contact with the surface of the GPU and GDDR6 Memory. The Vapor-X cooler is fine-tuned to work with the other cooling components such as the fins, heatpipes and fans to bring the best efficiency to cool the GPU and components. Since the entire area transfers heat at the same rate, the Vapor-X module is engineered to work more efficiently than a copper heat sink at carrying away heat. Upon gaining heat, the heat source is pushed to the Vaporization Wicks to begin the heat dissipation process. Due to extreme low pressure, working fluid and pure water are easily vaporized and moved through the vacuum until it reaches the Condensing Wick which is adjacent to the cooled surface. At this point, the vapor turns back to a liquid state whereby the liquid is then absorbed by the Transportation Wick by capillary action and moved back towards the Vaporization Wick. A recycled liquid system occurs when the heat source reheats the liquid and it becomes re-vaporized by the Vaporization Wick to restart the Vapor-X Cooling process. The Optimized Composite Heatpipes work in tandem with Vapor-X Cooling, fine-tuned for the cooling design, with optimal heat flow to efficiently and evenly spread out the heat to the entire cooling module.
Optimal Overclocking Potential
On NITRO+ AMD Radeon™ RX 7900 XTX Vapor-X, 90 Ampere Mosfets for GPU with 12 phases is engineered onto the board. This digital power design provides a total of 1080 Ampere currents to the GPU, offering 28% more power delivery for the GPU in comparison to the standard AMD Radeon™ RX 7900 XTX design, to push maximum overclocking potential.
NITRO+ Features to Maximize Your GPU
The NITRO+ AMD Radeon™ RX 7900 Series Vapor-X Graphics Cards are constructed with a Die Casted Aluminum-Magnesium Alloy Frame that strengthens the structural stiffness of the shroud and ensures durability whilst enveloping the sides of the PCB. Located on top of the frame is the Frontplate Heatsink which overlays the entire PCB to cool the VRM components as a dedicated VRM cooling module to create optimal heat dissipation for peak airflow and cooling performance.
The NITRO+ AMD Radeon™ RX 7900 Series Vapor-X Graphics Cards are equipped with the latest Angular Velocity Fan Blade Design to allow for greater airflow while simultaneously enabling quiet and cool operation. This design generates up to 44% more downward air pressure and up to 19% more airflow compared to previous generation fan blades.

The renowned and robust Tri-X Cooling Technology works in tandem with the Wave Fin Design to diminish friction and airflow which reduces noise, and the V Shape Fin Design for GPU Cooling to quicken and centralize airflow around the GPU to dissipate heat efficiently.

| Wave Fin & V-Shape Fin Design |
The GPU is mounted onto the High TG Copper PCB. Constructed of 14 layers of high-density 2oz Copper PCB with a high TG [Glass Transition] temperature value PCB to match the power requirements of the GPU and memory and guarantee mechanical stability of the PCB during operation. The board design uses premium and efficient compact Ultra High Performance Conductive Polymer Aluminum Capacitors which fully enables the 20-phase power design of the PCB.

Introducing the NEW Assistive System Fan Control
When the temperature of the GPU rises, the fans on the graphics card speed up accordingly. To aid in rapid cooling and heat dissipation, the new Assistive System Fan Control feature controls the speed of a system fan to automatically increase at the same time as the graphics card fans to assist in expelling hot air from the entire system faster.

Classic NITRO+ Favourite Features
Experience classic NITRO+ features like the fan-favourite Quick Connect Fan with just one screw holding the fan securely in place to easily remove, clean or replace the fan. Fans feature Dual Ball Bearing for up to 85% longer lifespan than sleeve bearing fans and for up to 10% less noise through fan blade improvements. Switch between Performance Mode to Silent Mode or back using our Dual BIOS feature and enable TriXX to switch easily between modes using the TriXX Software BIOS Switch. The high-quality aluminum Metal Backplate protects the components on the backside of the PCB and helps remove heat.
NITRO+ Aesthetics
For the ultimate customization, NITRO Glow enables gamers to personalize their battlestation aesthetic. The NITRO+ AMD Radeon™ RX 7900 Vapor-X Series Graphics Cards take it the next step further with the Dual ARGB Light Bar. Customize both the dual light bar and the ARGB Backplate to cultivate an exceptional and beautiful ambiance for your gaming setup.
Enable the external synchronization of RGB LEDs between the graphics card and the motherboard using the 3-pin header in the tail. Gamers can then choose if the graphics card performs the RGB LED effects independently or if the motherboard acquires control.
