Coupled with my i5-4690K I get 60fps+ in Grand Theft Auto V (the game I bought it for) and certain emulators, such as Dolphin and PCSX2 (which is notorious for its horrible optimisation). This card also doesn't have the flickering reflective water bug in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, if you're still playing that like I am.Make sure you use DirectX or, if the game or application supports it, Vulkan, as AMD cards perform less efficiently on OpenGL.The card itself is well-built and is coupled with an LED showing the Sapphire logo. You can change this with the button on the GPU or using TRIXX. Custom colours can be done but I haven't been able to get it displaying the right colour. This is probably due to TRIXX, since the vivid colours I wanted can definitely be shown when you look at the GPU's rainbow & Sapphire Blue modes, but this only affects the card cosmetically and not functionally.Another thing to consider is that the card generates a LOT of heat, so sufficient cooling is necessary if you don't already have a water-cooling setup. The card is built to withstand its heat, and coupled with a good aftermarket CPU cooler (my recommendation: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo), you should get sufficient cooling in your PC with this card.You can crank the fans up using MSI Afterburner or Sapphire's own TRIXX software if you want, and if the fans need replacing or cleaning, they can be replaced easily, by unscrewing it from the GPU. Fan noise is like any other card, but I'm not bothered by fan noise. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A solid GPU for gamers and those looking to get into VR *by T***I on 31 August 2016* Works beautifully but do note there's not a lot of overclocking headroom and you're likely to get an ASIC quality around 70%. (1360 / 2210 is as high as I can get at present)Replaced a 6970CF and the difference in performance and noise is astounding, not to mention that the power efficiency versus older generation cards is simply wonderful.Noise isn't an issue for me, you can set the fans rpm to near silent using WattMan (AMD Crimson software) but 3rd party support is currently very limited / non-existent so take note if you intend to buy into Polaris at time of this review.Edit: 31/10/2016 - Sapphire have released their TRIXX 'overclocking' tool to fully support their RX48x cards. This allows for better fan curve profiling than WattMan. However it isn't as comprehensive, WattMan allows you to setup specific clocks per application/game.However, there is still no additional overclocking headroom over the 'preset' Nitro+ clocks, even with being able to fine-tune additional voltage via TRIXX. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ One is fine, Two hmm *by C***N on 21 February 2017* Good, But difficult to get the settings right for certain games, but then again i have two of these,any game I threw at the single card workd perfectly on full setting, but have X2 cards it seems there is issues and game crashing, blue screens of death and in game stuttering.I Have faith that its just the settings in he crosfire mode or the drivers,. But one card on its own is more than enough for any game at 1080p --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/99817465-sapphire-amd-rx480-nitro-8-gb-gddr5-memory-polaris-finfet](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/99817465-sapphire-amd-rx480-nitro-8-gb-gddr5-memory-polaris-finfet) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
