As for the Sapphire RX 6750 XT Nitro+, this ships in an eye-catching blue, black and yellow box, with the Nitro+ logo placed centrally. On the back, more key features of the GPU are highlighted.

Inside, we get the same documentation, but more interesting is the included GPU support bracket which will just help prevent any of the dreaded ‘GPU sag'.

Looking at the design of the card itself, it looks almost identical to the RX 6700 XT Nitro+ I reviewed last year. The silver and black shroud design appears unchanged, with the main visual difference coming due to the use of the ‘Second Generation Angular Velocity' fan blades, which are more angular, and less curved, than the previous design.

In terms of size, the 6750 XT Nitro+ is not playing around – we can see why Sapphire decided to include a bracket, as it measures 310 x 130 x 62.19mm, making it a proper triple-slot card. It also weighs in at 1.16kg on my scales.

Once more we get a full-length metal backplate, with another large cut-out in the metal towards the end of the card. We can also note the dual-BIOS switch, allowing a choice of the Performance or Silent modes, and the third option to toggle between the two using Trixx.

 

Power inputs are now 2x 8-pin connectors, up from 1x 8-pin and 1x 6-pin, but we have the same 3x DisplayPort and 1x HDMI 2.1 video outputs.
