Quiet, very quiet card. In terms of design, I quite like it, although it's not crucial for me since the case is closed anyway. The decision to place the 12pin is quite successful. If we forget that it's quite an intimidating connector by itself... If the 12pin connector bothers you, that's a downside. Of course, the good old 8pin ones would definitely be safer, but it is what it is. In my case, the coils are squealing, but as always, it's random and a matter of luck. |
I want to point out that Sapphire kept its very well-thought-out design, where the fan shroud can be removed independently of the rest of the heatsink, so you don’t have to worry about re-gluing or fully disassembling the graphics card if, for example, you only need to replace a single fan. The heatsink uses as many as six heatpipes, with the GPU and VRAM making contact with a central baseplate. The backplate is also used as an auxiliary heatsink. As for temperatures in my poorly ventilated case (only 1 fan), in Assassin’s Creed Shadows at max settings, the graphics card draws 260W, the core temperature is 49°C, and the fans in auto mode spin around 1200 RPM (roughly 25–30% of max), which is very quiet!!! Even the single case fan is louder. So the GPU’s cooling system is excellent. The graphics card is so powerful that I play at native resolution, where image quality is best. I don’t use any FSR. As of this fall, judging by tests, the Radeon RX 9070 XT is even a bit more powerful than the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, because AMD is starting to squeeze every drop out of the much-improved RDNA 4 architecture. Premium design; package contents; high-quality cooling system; noise level - virtually nonexistent; a hefty factory overclock; build quality; excellent performance in QHD and UHD For some, the lack of a dual BIOS might be a drawback, but in my opinion it isn’t needed here. |

As for temperatures, the GPU reaches 62-63°C, the hotspot up to 83-85°C, and memory 70-80°C (Samsung) at stock settings out of the box, while fan speeds range from 1150 to 1700 RPM, varying as the card strives to keep them as low as possible without exceeding the aforementioned temperature limits. I had an XFX Mercury before this one, which I returned to the store, and this Nitro+ is MUCH quieter, with a complete absence of a buzzing noise.
Regarding the power connector placement, in my view, it's a very good idea. It's clear that, first and foremost, this was probably done to hide the cable for aesthetic reasons, but we also got enough space for it so it won’t bend near the connector itself, pushing against your case, which is highly not recommended with these 12-pin connectors.
