Oh how I want. Hadn't had a Nitro since my RX 480s and had a R9 Fury Nitro before that.

Around 2.7 slot design seems to be standard for both AMD and Nvidia
AIBs with air cooling.
Pulse looks good, but I think the Nitro version looks amazing. :eek:

Must admit I am little tempted to buy one next year for my second
system just to try a full Team Red system. If so I would go for the
Sapphire Nitro for sure. I still need Nv for work, but would be fun to try.

@Embra : Nitro+. Because just Nitro has lower quality, have worse cooling, ...
