The appearance has not changed, frequency ultra public version 310MHz, the price is lovable!

Before reading Sapphire RX480 8G D5 overseas OC evaluation friends know that Sapphire RX470 4G D5 overseas OC and its appearance is exactly the same, so many years, sapphire in the design can be said is really very very low-key, there is no Learned a video card manufacturers to engage in lights, as if to go the other extreme.

All-metal backplane, printed "NITRO" and "SAPPHIRE" Logo.

The overall card size is 232x120x40mm, and the difference between the Ultra-Platinum OC series is that it lacks the top RGB LED and the one-button acceleration button on the I/O side.

External power supply is 8Pin, 2Pin more than the public version.

For the video output interface, the sapphire RX470 4G D5 overseas OC is equipped with two DP interfaces, two HDMI ports and one DVI port.

Specifications: Sapphire RX470 4G D5 Overseas OC in the specifications and the public version of the RX470 difference is quite large, the first is to increase the frequency to 1236MHz, a total increase of 310MHz than the public version, followed by a small increase in memory frequency (high 400MHz ), Finally, the external power supply is more than 2 Pin.

Of course, we also mentioned the selling price in the previous article. The Sapphire RX470 4G D5 overseas version OC is priced at 1,299 yuan on the mainstream e-commerce platform. This is a price concession after removing some functions such as RGB lights and one-key overclocking. In general, Sapphire RX470 can be sold at this price is really good!

Removable fan design is intimate and the power supply is powerful and powerful

The sapphire card is never difficult to remove. After loosening all the screws on the back, the shroud and fins can be easily separated.

In terms of thermal specifications, the sapphire RX470 4G D5 OC overseas uses two super-thick nickel-plated copper tubes with a solid copper base and super-dense fins to dissipate heat. This specification tablet RX470 core should be no problem.

With a detachable fan design, the fan and shroud can be easily separated, making it easier to remove dust.

The various types of electronic components on the back of the PCB are listed, and the layout is compact and first-rate.

The 4-phase power supply is the same as the previous sapphire RX480 Overseas OC. The RX480's power supply specifications are definitely valid on the RX470.

Test platform description: The test platform uses the mainstream consumer platform Z270+i7 7700K. A total of 4 video cards were selected for comparison tests in this test. They were sapphire RX470 4G D5 overseas OC, AMD RX480, AMD RX 470, and NVIDIA GTX1060. 6G, the driver is the latest AMD Crimson Edition 17.3.1 and NVIDIA GeForce 378.78 WHQL.

3DMark theory test

In addition to the two FireStrike Ultra & Extreme tests that we commonly use, the 3DMark theory test section added 3DMark's latest DirectX 12 benchmark test for game PCs, aiming to bring you a more comprehensive reference.

Theoretical Test Summary: From the 3DMark theoretical performance test alone, the sapphire RX470 Ultra Platinum OC is about 4 points higher than the public version of the RX470. The GTX1060 6G is less than the running score, but it is very close to the RX480 public version. In general, running points not bad!

Game performance test

The future is undoubtedly the world of DX12. In this test, we selected 6 representative DX12 game masterpieces. Among them, there are no shortage of native killer 6s, Tomb Raider 10, Singularity ash, and DX12. Warhammer: Total Wars and Outbreak: Human Crush, etc., as well as the blockade of the entire territory that was supported by the addition of DX12.

Test summary: thanks to the higher frequency, Sapphire RX470 Ultra Platinum OC experience in the actual game is much better than the public version of the RX470, and the frame number performance is very close to the public version of the RX480; although less than the GTX1060 6G, but after all the price pendulum There, on the whole, the price/performance ratio is still much higher!

Platform power test

In order to get closer to the real-life scenarios in the player's daily applications and to more fully understand the power consumption of the sapphire RX470 4G D5 OC overseas, we will use three scenarios to measure the power consumption of the platform, namely the 3DMark stress tester. , game pager and standby mode.

Power consumption test summary: non-public version of the power consumption will certainly be higher than the public version of the overall power consumption, but the relative performance will be better; although still slightly inferior to the GTX1060 6G, Polaris generation and before Compared to already too much! Basically this card 350W and above power can be brought!

Video card temperature test

To test the temperature limit under the radiator, we used the 3DMark stress test to test.

Test summary: At room temperature 23 °C, the sapphire RX470 4G D5 overseas version of the OC's copying temperature is 74 °C, much better than the public version of the heat dissipation, while this temperature control performance is not excellent, but it can definitely make people accept.

Card noise test

Here we have a noise tester that tests the graphics card's fan noise when Furmark is fully loaded.

Test summary: When only 45.5 decibels, it is quieter than RX480 overseas edition, and there is no noise in light load state (fan intelligent stop technology), very good.

About noise:
0 - 20 db: very quiet, almost imperceptible; 20 -40 db: quiet, like whisper; 40 - 60 db: normal general indoor conversation; 60 - 70 db: noisy: denervated; 70 -90 db: Very noisy, nerve cells are damaged. 90 - 100 db: Intensified noise, impaired hearing; 100 - 120 db: Unbearable, one minute or temporary deafness. 120 decibels or more: Extremely paralysed or fully paralyzed; 300 decibels or more: People with a radius of 20 km cannot repair deafness.

Sapphire RX470 4G D5 Overseas Edition OC Reference Price: Loading... Image Reviews Quote Parameter Overview

Hong Kong really! Just look at the performance of sapphire RX470 4G D5 overseas version OC I am very satisfied, as a mere 1299 yuan RX470 performance actually approaching the public version of RX480, this table is pleasing. (I even decided that for a long period of time, the thousand yuan card will push it first!)

Non-public GTX1060 3G and other products (prices are generally more than 1K5) in front of it really is competitively reduced, although this product is flat and unorthodox, but I want to buy this price product users more attention or performance stop! If so, then it must be correct!
