Sapphire Launched custom Radeon RX Vega 64 and RX Vega 56 models, the Nitro + Limited Editions come with big coolers, BIOS options and are roughly 7% overclocked.

The difference between the reference cards and the Nitro++series is mainly to be found in cooling. They run much softer and lower in temperatures. Sapphire uses a three fan cooler, the middle one weirdly enough turning in the opposite direction compared to the other two? It has six heatpipes. It has not one, not two, nor Sirreeeh ... it has three 8-pin PEG connections. Sapphire offers two BIOS modes, one an overclock mode and the other an energy-saving mode, this last one does make the card a notch slower by reducing lower consumption. Here the power limiter simply is lowered.

ComputerBase tested the card and indeed it shows that the cooling is an improvement over the reference model, its ten degrees cooler, with a rated 37 dB (A) noise level. On OC modus you'll see roughly 7 % additional performance seen from the reference design. The recommended retail price of the Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX Vega 56 Limited Edition is rather steep, at 579 euros in Germany.
