Computex: New GPUs and gaming gear from Sapphire

We are continuing to wrap up our Computex coverage today with a look at Sapphire's booth. Here, we got to take a look at new Nitro branded graphics cards as well as some new gaming accessories from Sapphire, which will also fall under the Nitro brand.

Going forward, Nitro is going to be an umbrella brand for Sapphire's gaming products, this will include graphics cards and accessories, such as fans. In the gallery above, you can see the new single fans that Sapphire is starting to sell, in addition to new shrouds and backplates. These new shroud and backplate replacements will allow Sapphire GPU buyers to change colours for a new look. Changing your cooler will not void your Sapphire GPU warranty.

Sapphire is staying away from the current RGB trend that so many other gaming hardware companies are going with. This is due to feedback from gamers at LAN events.

Next up, we got to take a look at the GPU selection. The Pulse range is for gamers who want good value but don't necessarily care too much about factory overclocks. Meanwhile, the Nitro+ range is Sapphire's most premium model, offering a better cooler and higher overclocks.

Beyond that, Sapphire has some Mini-ITX budget cards and a new external GPU adapter, which would work well with laptops carrying a Thunderbolt 3 port. Sapphire has also seen some demand from the crypto-currency mining community.

KitGuru Says: Beyond the external GPU adapter and new colour options for shrouds/backplates, it was mostly business as usual for Sapphire this year. Personally, I'm hoping that they will bring back the Toxic series when Vega drops but we will have to wait and see.

Among Us became widely popular in its original 2D form but the development team at InnerSloth is looking to change things up soon with the release of Among Us 3D. As the name suggests, this is the same social deduction game we all know and love, but in a 3D environment instead.

  1. Weirdly they did a Toxic 270X and 280X but no Toxic 290X, for the 290X they did a yellow lower clocked Tri-X and a two versions of the blue Vapor-X, the blue colour was much easier on the eye. On quiet nights with the windows open I can still hear those Tri Vapor-X fans running at the stock 1080mhz…….from 3 towns away?. The 290X was a monster.
    Must be tough being a seller of solely AMD GPU’s at the moment, my local pc stores have had no stock for ages. I’ve dealt with Sapphire for a warranty issue before and they where brilliant, one of the easiest I’ve ever dealt with.
