**SAPPHIRE NITRO+ Radeon RX 470 8G D5** The SAPPHIRE NITRO+ Radeon RX 470 is the next big thing in mainstream 1080p gaming. Custom-designed SAPPHIRE NITRO+ models come with an energy-efficient foundation of Polaris chip & a slew of added features in both cooling & aesthetics already seen in the NITRO+ RX 480 model. Compared to the previous R9 270 generation GPU, playing on the RX 470 means performance up to 2.4x better in latest titles such as Total War: WARHAMMER or DOOM. Engineered with power savings in mind, the 4th generation Graphics Core Next chip maintains the typical board power of around 170 W. Polaris-powered GPU-s also mean enhanced geometry engine, increased cache & native asynchronous shaders for unmatched efficiency in Direct X 12. The SAPPHIRE NITRO+ Radeon RX 470 cards all come equipped with 2048 GCN-based stream processors & 256-bit memory interface. The 8 GB model has a GPU boost clock of 1260 MHz (1121 MHz base) & memory clocked at 2000 MHz for 8 Gbps throughput. **AMD XConnect Technology** Plug in & game on with AMD XConnect technology. Now its easier than ever to connect & use an external Radeon graphics card. With AMD XConnect technology, external GPU enclosures configured with Radeon Graphics can easily connect & disconnect to a compatible ultrathin notebook or 2-in 1 over Thunderbolt 3 at any time, just like a USB (Universal Serial Bus) flash drivea first for external GPUs! ** Virtual Super Resolution** Virtual Super Resolution (VSR) is an AMD feature that is game & engine agnostic to simulate Super-Sampling Anti-Aliasing (SSAA) in games that do not have native SSAA support. VSR can also be used in conjunction with other native in-game anti-aliasing for even more game graphics-setting control. VSR allows games to render at higher resolutions (up to 4K; see the Virtual Super Resolution Support table, below) & then rescales them down to a lower native display resolution. Using this, you can get quali
