Sapphire can be said to be the most representative A-card manufacturer, and is one of the independent brands of PC Partner, the world's largest graphics card manufacturer and the world's largest graphics card manufacturer.
As the world's largest graphics card OEM and OEM manufacturer, we have close cooperation with chipset manufacturers, strong R&D strength, and has always been known for its excellent workmanship, with three large factories in Dongguan, in addition to producing its own sapphire and ZOTAC brand graphics cards, it also works for other brands (Renaissance, Leifeng High-end, etc.).
In the mining boom, the mid-to-high-end graphics cards of various brands have grown significantly, and AMD graphics cards are undoubtedly the most profitable due to their advantages in mining performance, and all A card manufacturers have benefited a lot, and sapphire, as a representative manufacturer of A cards, increased its shipments by about 50% year-on-year in 2017, rising to sixth.
The whole line of sapphire graphics cards belong to the A card camp, and the positioning from high to low has Aotmic atom, Toxic poison, black diamond, super platinum, platinum and overseas version, and the super platinum limited edition is a new specification from RX580, the positioning will be slightly higher than the mainstream super platinum version, it is clearer, compared with other manufacturers, sapphire graphics cards also have a significant feature: the radiator fans are designed with quick release, which is very convenient for users to clean and replace.
However, the sapphire atomic series, the poison series and the black diamond series have not been new products for several years, and the overseas version is not rare at present, in fact, the main ones that are still on sale are the super platinum and platinum series, and there are no competing products at the same level as ASUS Poseidon / Dragon Knight and Gigabyte Eagle, and the high-end RX Vega 64 is also out of stock for various reasons, so the overall positioning of the product line is also more biased towards the mid-range, mainly products of about 1000-2000 yuan, and the highest-end Vega 56 is only about 4000 yuan.
The ultra-platinum series belongs to the non-public version of the high-frequency graphics card, which is higher than the public version in terms of core frequency, and is the main series, while taking into account the materials, it also takes into account the price, and the cost performance is good, it is the main series of sapphire now, and the products with the limited edition suffix generally have higher frequencies and richer lighting effects, and the power consumption is also higher, and the positioning is higher than that of the non-limited edition.
RX VEGA 56 8G HBM2 Ultra Platinum Limited Edition is currently the highest-end product on sale in Sapphire, the lighting effect is extremely rich, the theoretical performance is slightly lower than the public version of the GTX 1080, there are 5 temperature sensors on the PCB, which can intelligently control the fan speed, which is similar to EVGA's ICX technology, and uses the famous vacuum vapor chamber heat sink in the Atom and Poison series, which is 5°C lower than the general heat pipe heat dissipation temperature, but the power consumption is too high, at least 850W or more power supply is required, The price of 4099 yuan has little advantage over the same level N card.
The limited edition naturally has a non-limited edition, RX VEGA 56 ultra platinum and ultra platinum limited edition in the appearance of the biggest difference is that the background color of the fans on both sides of the ultra platinum is silver gray, there is no lighting effect, and the limited edition is black with lighting effects, in addition, RX Vgea 56 ultra platinum OC will have one less external power supply port, and the radiator is just an ordinary heat pipe radiator, but the price is reduced to 3199 yuan accordingly, which is only 100 yuan higher than the platinum version with lower positioning, in sapphire RX VEGA The most cost-effective of the 56 graphics cards.
The lower gear has a sapphire RX 580 super platinum Aurora Special Edition, a little higher than the frequency of the ordinary version, at the same time, the shell adopts a blue and white color, the top LOGO and cooling fan are blue light effects, 6 1 1 phase power supply, the performance is slightly better than the high-frequency non-public version of GTX 1060, the price of 2199 yuan has certain advantages compared with the first-line manufacturer GTX 1060, the disadvantage is the old problem of A card, the power consumption is slightly larger, and more than 500W power supply is required. If the Aurora Special Edition is out of stock, you can also choose the RX 580 ultra platinum OC version with a slightly lower frequency, the appearance color is black, the fan lighting effect is streamlined, and there is little difference in other aspects, the price is as low as 2099 yuan, and the cost performance is better.
The mid-range and entry-level series include the platinum version and the overseas version, the platinum version is equivalent to the public version, and the frequency is similar to the public version, which can be understood as the public version of the specifications of a different radiator, the performance is not as good as the super platinum, but it is better than the cost performance, and it is also one of the main series of sapphire; The overseas version is the lowest-grade product in the sapphire graphics card, generally using a short board non-public version of the PCB, the workmanship and materials have a lot of shrinkage compared to the public version, with a cheaper radiator, the lowest price.
