THE NITRO+ AMD RADEON RX 9070 XT

Measuring 330.8mm in length and 65.68mm in thickness (tri-slot) the NITRO+ AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT is among the largest cards to ever arrive in the lab.

Just for comparison purposes I placed the NITRO+ Radeon RX 9070 XT next to the PULSE Radeon RX 9070 XT and the Phantom GeForce RTX 4080.

SAPPHIRE has once again used three 90mm Dual-Ball bearing quick-connect fans with the card.

For cooling the card uses 2 large heatsinks with 6 heatpipes passing through both.

At the top we find a ARGB light bar and the company logo.

Turning the card around we see that most is covered by metal.

There's a small gap on the right side from where you'll route the 12V-2x6 power cable and the ARGB cable (SAPPHIRE has placed a flat piece of foam here so the cables will not get cut (or heated) from the aluminum fins of the heatsink beneath).

Once you route the cables you can attach the magnetic backplate as seen above.

Moving at the front of the card we find the two DP v2.1a and two HDMI v2.1 ports.

Thanks to the ARGB light bar the NITRO+ Radeon RX 9070 XT looks great (short clip is available as always on TikTok and YouTube).

I was a bit skeptical at first about routing the 12V-2x6 beneath the magnetic backplate, but it actually manages to keep it hidden (for the most part).
