Some photos of what seems to be SAPPHIRE Radeon RX 480 NITRO 8GB have surfaced on the WWW. The card from Sapphire is their Nitro model and will be a dual-slot dual-fan based product.

The photos appeared online through Videocardz, who on their end noticed them at HWBattle. There's nothing much to say otherwise, the Radeon RX 480 cards are likely to be released on June 29th and will become available with 4GB and 8GB configurations.

I saw people on Reddit saying this card was "ugly" and "looks like a shower head". I mean, it looks like a graphics card to me? Doesn't need to look pretty if its going to sit inside a windowless case for the rest of its life, wedged in between a desk. Can't please some people though.

Update: MSI has reached out to us, saying that this is "fake without any doubt". The full statement from MSI: "This stuff is way too retro for any new product...I can guarantee you this is fake without any doubt, There is no need to be too serious about it

".

Sapphires reference one with the backplate is sexy.
Thats what I will be getting.

The dual fan nitro is kinda ugly, but if you were to paint the shroud black, it would look good IMHO.

Have a read through https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/4ni1nv/sapphire_rx_480_is_sexy/. The top comment is "misleading title"!

Agreed. Even if it looks like $hit, it's gonna be seated inside a case.

What's more important is performance, not looks!

I care more about the power connector and the number of PCB layers than the looks, to be frank.
