Sapphire's New Nitro RX 7900 GPU: A Teaser
Sapphire has just hinted at yet another future card on social media, yeah, the Radeon RX 7900 series.
The only information the firm has provided is that the card is based on the RX 7900 series. A brief video of the card's fans spinning was released by the business, showing as little as possible to prevent spoilers. It appears that the sole distinguishing features of this card, outside its triple-fan cooling solution and silver-colored shroud, are the two RGB LED strips that span the length of the card. Ehm yeah, the teaser is as dull as that.

Being the Pleb that I am, I'd be perfectly happy with a Nitro+ instead.
I really love Sapphires cards. Would really like the Toxic 7900xtx

Regarding Sapphire, my recent customer support experience was very poor and they don't offer three year warranty like many other manufacturers. I really think they are perhaps the number one GPU board and cooling designer now when EVGA is gone, but nevertheless the brand has left me with a sour taste.
My main and only problem with my current GPU (RX 5700 XT Nitro+) is that it builds up a heat pocket with fans off underneath the heatpipes so that 'zero RPM fan' feature is useless - temperatures rise in idle so that fans loudly activate and then deactivate frequently. Instead I have to keep the fans on, which is no biggy, but the factory BIOS allows minimum of 1200 RPM, which makes the card quite audible in idle. I asked Sapphire to release a new BIOS so I could tune the fans simply on Radeon Software without having to download some third party tool, but they didn't even read my email, just answered by some nonsense (perhaps their English is not adequate?).
This heat pocket issue is not limited to RX 5700 XT Nitro+, but it happens on any card that traps heat beneath the cooler and even well ventilated case will not help.
It's sad when such a small fault can ruin otherwise a great product, a premium one I might add.
Remember to test your coolers in idle too in tight cases (I have a big well cooled one) and let the lowest RPM be something like 600, manufacturers!
