Sapphire’s RX 6700 XT NITRO+ and PULSE smile for the camera
The images of these graphics cards come to us courtesy of Videocardz, showcasing these graphics cards at multiple angles. Both models are reportedly equipped with an 8+6-pin PCIe power configuration, matching AMD’s reference model.Â
Sapphire’s RX 6700 XT NITRO+ model offers users a similar heatsink design as their RX 6800 NITRO+, offering users a larger triple-fan heatsink that’s frankly overbuilt for AMD’s lower-TDP RX 6700 XT design. The good news is that this overengineering will allow AMDs RX 6700 XT to remain cool and quiet under load, which is great news for silence freaks. Â
Sapphire’s RX 6700 XT NITRO+ will feature four display outputs, offering users a single HDMI 2.1 output and three DisplayPort 1.4 connection points. This should be more than ample for most gamers, especially if they are using 1440p monitors.Â
Like all Radeon RX 6700 XT graphics cards, Sapphire’s NITRO+ model will feature 12GB of GDDR6 VRAM, a 96MB Infinity Cache, 2560 stream processors and 2+GHz gaming clocks. Sadly, the exact clock speeds of Sapphire’s RX 6700 XT model are unknown.Â
  Â
The RX 6700 XT Pulse is Sapphire’s more budget-oriented design, offering users a dual-fan heatsink setup that’s similar to AMD’s reference model. This design will be shorter than Sapphire’s NITRO+ model, making the design better suited to compact system builds.Â
The RX 6700 XT Pulse will feature a more AMD-style design, offering users a red/black colour scheme at stock. While the NITRO plus features a lot of RGB lighting, the Pulse appears to feature no customisable lighting effects.Â
Like the RX 6700 XT NITRO+, Sapphire’s PULSE model will feature a single HDMI 2.1 output and three DisplayPort 1.4 connectors. Both of Sapphire’s designs feature a full-cover backplate.Â
