The 6750 XT series will not (yet) replace the 6700 XT; the Radeon RX 6750 XT features a comparable 2560 stream/Shader processor count to the 5700 XT and 6700 XT. The L3 cache and RDNA2 GPU architecture, on the other hand, will result in a speedier product. This card has a maximum boost speed of 2624 (reference 2600 MHz).  The BIOS supports fan stop in idle mode, which means the card is passive (no fans spinning) while not in use, bringing you the benefit of a silent device.

In terms of the card itself, it employs the same shroud design as the RX 6800 XT Nitro+. That means it's largely black plastic, with a few silver accents for contrast. Although the silver portions may not appeal to everyone if you have a stealthy black-out build, I think it's a great-looking card.

The backplate is made of silver metal with some black portions. However, there is a big cut-out at the card's end to allow direct airflow through the heatsink, as well as another cut-out behind the GPU core. The cooler has three fans, the middle one being 90mm and the outer two measuring 100mm. All three have a ring around the outside edge of the fan, and Sapphire refers to the new design as a 'Hybrid Fan,' claiming that it combines the higher pressure of a blower fan with the usual low noise levels of an axial fan.

The Nitro+ has a BIOS switch located near the I/O bracket. The button farthest away from the I/O bracket activates the Performance BIOS, whereas the switch in the center activates the Silent BIOS. There is a third position, but it is not a third BIOS; rather, it allows you to change which BIOS is used without physically moving the switch using Sapphire's TriXX software.

Two 8-pin and connectors are required for the video card. SAPPHIRE values the TGP power for this video card at 230W, which is more than the reference cards. The SAPPHIRE NITRO+ Radeon RX 6700 XT offers three DisplayPorts and one HDMI for display outputs.

It's also a big card, measuring 310.05 x 130.75 x 51.4mm. Anyone who owns a smaller ATX case should double-check that this will fit. SAPPHIRE's Fan Quick Connect technology is one of its distinguishing features. The fans literally separate themselves from the shroud with no effort. This allows you to clean them and replace them if they break very easily.

This product additionally supports SAPPHIRE NITRO Glow, a shrouded design with ARGB LEDs controlled by TriXX software. The video card also has an addressable ARGB header RGB connector for connecting to other RGB lighting components. The top bar, as well as the SAPPHIRE logo on top and the logo on the reverse, light up. Indeed, because of the way the backplate is ventilated, the illumination from the backplate pervades the design and glows through the entire rear. It's a nice looking product.
