AMD Big Navi graphics cards are on their way, and Sapphire has given us a wait at how its versions of the RDNA 2 GPUs will look similar.

The graphics card maker provided a sneak peak of its Radeon RX 6800 XT PULSE and RX 6800 XT Nitro+, both of which look very impressive despite their rather silly names.

• Only in: MacBook Air M1 benchmarks revealed — and they destroy Windows laptops

The Radeon RX 6800 XT Nitro+ features a gray and black livery with diverse slashes and accents in the GPU shroud to boost its gamer aesthetic. And in that location's what appears to be a light-up logo and RGB lighting to really bear witness off the graphics bill of fare when information technology's in a gaming PC with a windowed side.

The Nitro+ volition come up with 12-blade fans and potentially additional passive cooling in the form of extra heatpipes and heatsinks beneath the shroud. While the graphics bill of fare's design shouts "gamer" in no uncertain terms, it still looks pretty skillful for a drove of transistors, fans, and silicon. And information technology also evokes the look of something out of the lived-in Star Wars universe. No doubt PC gamers who have an RGB-centric desktop setup will exist eying upwards this card with glee.

For people who want something a little more than understated just still worth peering into a PC case to look at, then Sapphire'southward Radeon RX 6800 XT PULSE could be the card to consider. Its gunmetal gray/black shroud is punctuated by red lines running through information technology, conveying the thought that the graphics carte du jour has a pulse.

And the triple fan array, while chunky, conveys a functional aesthetic that seems to promise enough of performance from the GPU without it getting too hot and bothered. Both the above cards come with an HDMI port and a trio of DisplayPort connections, with all 4 ports able to output a maximum resolution of 8K.

Speaking of resolution, both these cards are gear up to target gaming at 4K resolution and at 60 frames per 2d, all with the goal of taking on the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080. With 16GB on GDDR6 video memory and the new RDNA 2 GPU architecture to tap into — the same GPU architecture is found on the PS5 and Xbox Serial 10 — the Radeon RX 6800 XT looks to exist on track to give the RTX 3080 serious contest.

Sapphire hasn't revealed the price of its takes on the RX 6800 XT. Just AMD has the base toll of its new graphics cards ready at $649, which undercuts the $699 RTX 3080.

Nosotros'll have to look and see if the Radeon RX 6800 XT can beat the RTX 3080 in real-earth gaming tests come November eighteen, when AMD releases its next-gen GPU. Nosotros're quietly hopeful that more competition in the graphics card arena will yield further exciting and powerful GPUs at more affordable prices, making 2020 a good year to exist a PC gamer.
