Based on AMD's Polaris architecture and AMD LiquidVR ready, the Sapphire NITRO+ Radeon RX 480 OC Graphics Card allows you to have the full virtual reality experience.

Not only for gaming, the Radeon RX 480 supports APIs such as OpenCL and OpenGL. These APIs can take advantage of the GPU's 2304 Stream Processors to accelerate parallel computing tasks, taking some of the processing load off of the CPU.

The front panel of the card features a variety of outputs. There are two DisplayPort 1.4 outputs, two HDMI 2.0b outputs, and a DVI-D output. Combined with AMD's Eyefinity, the GPU can provide an immersive gaming experience using up to four monitors.

With NITRO Free Flow (NFF), Sapphire redesigned the airflow of the entire cooler and board, so that the hot air is expelled through the system fan instead. The Dual-X fans help rapidly dissipating heat. This GPU also features NITRO Glow, which augments the GPU with RGB LEDs. You can customize your lights via Sapphire's app, TriXX 3.0 or by pressing the red button on the back of your GPU. You can choose from a set of five different modes, including Fan Speed Mode, PCB Temperature Mode, or the Rainbow mode.

AMD LiquidVR Ready

Experience the immersive world of VR gaming and entertainment. With Polaris architecture and AMD LiquidVR technology, this GPU is compatible with the Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive.

HDR Ready

This card is compatible with HDR (High Dynamic Range) content. When paired with an HDR capable display, you'll be able to experience enhanced contrast and colors for a sharp, vibrant visual experience.

FreeSync Technology

Reduce screen tearing with AMD's FreeSync Technology. FreeSync enables the monitor to dynamically adjust its refresh rate to the frame rate being output by the graphics card, thereby greatly reducing screen tearing, stuttering, and other artifacts.

Eyefinity

With support for up to 4 monitors, AMD Eyefinity allows you to customize how your displays are shown on your desktop. Having multiple displays can not only make you more productivity, but can also provide an immersive gaming experience. If you're looking to stream online via Twitch, having a separate display for the twitch chat as well as the capture window for both your gameplay and webcam can facilitate the process.

CrossFire

Is one graphics card not enough? AMD's CrossFire works with compatible motherboards and allows you to install and combine up to two of the same GPUs to split the processing load and render graphics with improved frame rates and image quality for supported applications.
