ALL NEW DUAL-X COOLING SYSTEM
The Dual-X cooling system featured in the latest SAPPHIRE NITRO+ RX 500 graphics cards has been extensively upgraded. Dual-X includes two massive yet silent fans and a cutting-edge heatsink design. The new blade shape of our 95mm fans provides increased airflow and maximum heatsink coverage with reduced noise levels compared to standard cooling designs. The fans used are equipped with double-row ball bearings, which, according to our tests, have an 85% longer service life than plain bearings.

Key Specs
What is AMD Radeon RX 570?
AMD has updated its mid-range graphics card lineup with the RX 570, a direct replacement for the RX 470. Designed for Full HD gaming at high settings, it starts at £165/$170. nine0005
In terms of competition, it sits neatly between Nvidia’s GTX 1060, which costs around £190 for a 3GB model, and the GTX 1050 Ti, which costs around £140/$135. Like the RX 470 before it, the RX 570 is a decent mid-range choice, although high power consumption and wild price fluctuations mean it’s not easy.

AMD Radeon RX 570 Specifications and Technologies
The RX 570 uses the same Polaris technology as the RX 470.
Over the past year, it has been tweaked and refined to provide slightly better performance and more energy efficiency. AMD is targeting those mid-range graphics cards that are two or more years old. This means that if you already have an RX 470 or 480, you definitely don’t (or need to) upgrade.
The test model here is made by Sapphire. The Rog 570 is clocked at 1244MHz as standard and overclocked to 1340MHz. It also features 8GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 7GHz. 8GB is perhaps overkill for a card that will spend most of its life playing games in Full HD; You can save a few pounds by opting for the 4GB model instead. nine0005

This Sapphire model has an 8+6 PSU configuration, so it can handle that meaty overclocking reliably. Make sure these ATX power connectors are free from your PC’s power supply, although if you’re using an older midrange card, you probably already have them. There are two DisplayPort 1.
