This card packs a punch. Huge upgrade from r9 270× OC
I got this card on sale for $309 and it is a great card all round very happy.
Introducing AMD LiquidVR
LiquidVR™ is an AMD initiative dedicated to making VR as comfortable and
realistic as possible by creating and maintaining what's known as
“presence” – a state of immersive awareness where situations, objects, or
characters within the virtual world seem “real.” Guided by close
collaboration with key technology partners in the ecosystem, LiquidVR™ uses
AMD's GPU software and hardware sub-systems to tackle the common issues and
pitfalls of achieving presence, such as reducing motion-to-photon latency to
less than 10 milliseconds. This is a crucial step in addressing the common
discomforts, such as motion sickness, that may occur when you turn your head in
a virtual world and it takes even a few milliseconds too long for a new
perspective to be shown.
AMD XConnect™ Technology
Plug in and game on with AMD XConnect technology.
Now it's easier than ever to connect and use an external Radeon™ graphics
card. With AMD XConnect™ technology, external GPU enclosures configured with
Radeon™ Graphics can easily connect and disconnect to a compatible ultrathin
notebook or 2-in 1 over Thunderbolt™ 3 at any time, just like a USB flash
drive-a first for external GPUs!
Virtual Super Resolution
Virtual Super Resolution (VSR) is an AMD feature that is game and engine
agnostic to simulate Super-Sampling Anti-Aliasing (SSAA) in games that do not
have native SSAA support. VSR can also be used in conjunction with other native
in-game anti-aliasing for even more game graphics-setting control. VSR allows
games to render at higher resolutions (up to 4K; see the ‘Virtual Super
Resolution Support’ table, below) and then rescales them down to a lower
native display resolution. Using this, you can get quality that rivals up to 4K,
even on a 1080p display while playing your favorite games.
HDR Ready
High Dynamic Range (HDR) is a state-of-the-art technology for gamers and
cinephiles that care deeply about the display quality of their TV or monitor.
Modeled after the acuity of human vision, HDR vastly expands the range of colors
and contrast ratios that can be shown by compatible displays. HDR-ready games
and movies played on an HDR display appear strikingly sharp, colorful, and
vivid, with enhanced contrast and sophisticated nuance compared to even the most
stunning SDR content.
NITRO Boost
The new NITRO Boost switch increases the boost clock and power limit for higher
performance to unleash the gaming performance of the card.
Planning to overclock or looking for maximum performance? SAPPHRE NITRO cards come with an 8 pin power connector to plug in and enable Nitro Boost.
Black Diamond Chokes 4
Our Black Diamond Chokes are 10% cooler and 25% more power efficient than a
normal choke – and these Mark 4 Chokes reduce the coil temperatures by other
15% over the Mark 3s.
These exclusive chokes will maintain gaming stability using their built-in heatsinks and help minimize coil whine.
AMD Freesync technology
No stuttering. No tearing. Just gaming.
AMD FreeSync™ technology allows a compatible graphics card and monitor to
dynamically change frame rates for the optimum display quality without tearing
or stuay.
Industry-Standard Displayport
Freesync uses industry-standard displayport Adaptive-Sync Eliminates screen tearing without all the usual lag and latency
Synchronizes the refresh rate of a compatible monitor to the frame rate of
your content, however much it varies
Monitor partners are validating with drivers from AMD now
