Sapphire Radeon RX 5700 XT BE NITRO+ (11293-10-40G)

triple airflow

Sapphire Nitro+ RX 5700 XT BE is one of the most affordable three-fan modifications of the Radeon RX 5700 XT graphics card. The length of 31 centimeters, as well as the thickness of two and a half expansion slots, places increased demands on the capacity of the PC case. But given the "hot temper" of the Navi 10 XL chip, which is the basis of the RX 5700 XT (even at the base frequency, not to mention factory overclocking to almost 2 GHz), such a massive cooling system is quite justified for fans of silence.

Powerful core and fast memory

There are 2560 stream processors in the Radeon RX 5700 XT of the first generation of the RDNA architecture. The graphics chip communicates with 8 gigabytes of GDDR6 video memory over a 256-bit bus at a frequency of 14 GHz. Consumes all this together up to 250 watts of electricity, so you need a power supply with at least one 6 + 2-pin connector and another 6-pin.

Unobtrusive backlight

The BE version of the Sapphire Nitro+ RX 5700 XT does not have fan lighting, but, unlike the Pulse 5700 XT BE, the manufacturer's logo still shimmers in ARGB colours. The trio of fans feature quick-release Quick Connect mounts for quick dust removal. You can set the optimal ratio of rotation speed and noise level, as well as experiment with manual overclocking of the core and memory, using the proprietary Sapphire TriXX application.

stiffener

Of course, the Sapphire Nitro + RX 5700 XT has a metal backplate that enhances the rigidity of the structure and prevents the PCB from bending under the weight of a massive cooler. In general, the Radeon RX 5700 XT is the optimal graphics card for 60-75 FPS at ultra-graphics settings at 2K screen resolutions, or 120-144 FPS at high settings. In principle, you can even try switching to 4K resolution, but in this case you will have to lower the settings to medium.
