The Sapphire PURE AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE Graphics Card is distinguished by its aesthetic appeal, characterized by an all-white design, angular fan patterns, a metal backplate, and illuminated Sapphire branding. This design is particularly relevant in the current market where transparent side panels on PC cases are common, influencing the aesthetic considerations in graphics card selection. Beyond its visual attributes, the card is equipped with features aimed at enhancing performance and durability. These include an all-aluminum backplate, digital power delivery system, fuse protection, and a copper-based PCB to ensure stability.
The PURE features a triple-fan cooler set within a 3-slot design and is powered by dual 8-pin PCIe connectors. For connectivity, it offers 3x DisplayPort 2.1 outputs and 1x HDMI 2.1 output. Leveraging AMD's Radiance Display engine, which supports DisplayPort 2.1, the card can achieve frame rates up to 480Hz in 4K and 165Hz in 8K. While not every user might utilize this high frame rate capability, AMD's decision to include the display connector provides a clear contrast to Nvidia's omission in their RTX 4000 series.
Upon opening, a layer reveals the documentation, while a denser foam with a tailored cutout securely houses the RX 7900 GRE 16GB, which is encased in a static-resistant bag with extra plastic protection. Any additional accessories are neatly stowed in a special foam compartment.
From a hardware perspective, the graphics card requires a dual 8-pin power connector. It also features a triple-fan cooler within a 3-slot design. The card requires dual 8-pin power connectors.
When max temperatures are attained, the fan RPM will incrementally increase to sustain the set temperature. If the GPU's temperature stays considerably below the target, the RPM might descend. The fan will cease operation when the GPU's temperature is below all predefined fan stop temperatures, resuming only when the GPU surpasses any of the set fan start temperatures. The graphics card features a Boost Clock setting of 2333 MHz.
