What is the difference with the regular version? Sapphire RX470D Super Platinum Pro Reviews

[PConline evaluation] When you see this video card box, Rao is countless readers, but also tigers startled! Sapphire RX470D Ultra Platinum Pro, what? RX470D also has a version with Pro? What is this ghost? What is AMD doing now? Ok! With these questions, let's go down.

Sapphire RX470D 4G D5 Ultra Platinum Pro Reference Price: Loading... Image Reviews Quote Parameter Overview

Appearance: classic gas stove shape, the frequency of the machine is higher than the public version

Appearance, Sapphire RX470D Ultra Platinum Pro using sapphire graphics classic "gas stove" shape, I will not go into details! (What can I say when I'm young? Booth~)

There is a high-strength metal backplane with the word “NITRO” printed on the left, and the pattern design on the backboard is quite scientific!

The display output interface configuration is DVI-D+HDMI×2+DP×2, which is the same as the public version.

8Pin external power supply, and no lights, take a look at the specifications below.

Specifications: The biggest difference between this product and the public version is only on the machine frequency, the frequency raised on the public version of the basis of 34MHz; price, the official price of this product is about 1399 yuan, 100 yuan more expensive than the public version.

Next, let's look at the dismantling section.

95mm silent double ball bearing double fan efficient cooling

The entire card is fixed by 10 screws. It is not difficult to disassemble it.

The cooling part adopts a dual-fan with 95mm mute dual ball bearings, supports quick release, silent and efficient. At the same time, the overall design of the radiator is fully nickel-plated, which effectively prevents the cooling efficiency and damage caused by oxidation. On the basis of the guided and guided flow, the diversion hole is optimized for the hot air diversion, which makes the heat dissipation more efficient and increases the central area. The hole position effectively prevents the thermal phenomenon of PCB and back plate.

Compared to the previous Sapphire RX470D PCB, there is no difference.

The 4+1-phase power supply design continues the specifications of the ultra-Platinum series of materials. It is comparable to the graphics card materials with a price of 1,500 yuan. The solid materials ensure the stability of the graphics card and extend the service life of the graphics card.

Eight 512MB Samsung GDDR5 memory chips surround the core, forming 4GB of memory and 256 bits wide.

After the dismantling is complete, let's look at how the performance is.

3DMark Theory Test and Game Performance Test

AMD Crimson Edition 16.12.2

Platform Description: The test platform uses a consumer-grade platform Z270+i7 7700K top-level, this test used a total of five video cards for comparison testing, driven by the latest AMD Crimson Edition 16.12.2 and NVIDIA ForceWare 376.33 WHQL.

● 3DMark theory test:

3DMark Theory Tests We tested two commonly used FireStrike Extreme and Time Spy benchmarks specifically for DX12.

Theoretical Test Summary: By combining two 3DMark theoretical performance tests, we found that the sapphire RX470D Ultra Platinum Pro will perform better than the regular version and lose it (about 3%). The effect of simple frequency band is simple and crude.

● Game performance test:

We have selected several popular games, including the original "Singularity Ashes", "Tomb Raider 10" and "Killer 6" which are natively supported by DX12, as well as popular "FPS blockades" and "Fighting Grounds". 1".

Test summary: The actual game performance is also very consistent with the theoretical test, the average number of frames on the basis of the basic version of a small increase of 1 to 2 frames, but also the benefits of slightly higher frequency.

● Platform power consumption test:

In order to get closer to the real scenes in the player's daily applications, and to more fully understand the power advantages of the sapphire RX470D Ultra Platinum Pro, we will use two scenarios to measure the power consumption of the platform. And in standby mode.

Power consumption test summary: It can be seen that the power consumption of the sapphire RX470D Ultra Platinum Pro is very similar to that of the AMD RX470. The power consumption of the game is similar to that of the regular version of the RX470. However, this card has a low power consumption and is rated at 350W. With the move.

● Graphics temperature test:

To test the extreme temperature of the sapphire RX470D Ultra Platinum Pro, we used the latest 3DMark FireStrike Extreme stress test for testing.

Test summary: The temperature of this sapphire sapphire RX470D Ultra Platinum Pro and the original version of the original bi, full copy machine temperature is 73 °C, after all, they use the same radiator it! Oh~

● Card noise test:

Here we measure the fan noise when the noise tester is running a 3DMark stress test.

Test summary: The maximum noise when copying the machine is 55 decibels, which is close to the sound of ordinary indoor conversation. It is still quiet. It should be quieter when it is loaded into the chassis. We do not have to tangled in this regard.

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.

PConline graphics ladder diagram:

Ladder Diagram Description: Based on the test results, we placed the sapphire RX470D Ultra Platinum Pro slightly higher than the AMD RX470D position in the video ladder.

PConline concludes:

Sapphire RX470D 4G D5 Ultra Platinum Pro Reference Price: Loading... Image Reviews Quote Parameter Overview

Let's say it! The sapphire RX470D Ultra Platinum Pro is aimed at the strongest RX470D in its class, and indeed it does! In terms of product pricing, the author took a look at a certain treasure and found that many sellers can do the price of 1269 yuan, a little higher than the previous Sapphire regular version RX470 about tens of yuan; and its biggest difference is that the machine slightly higher frequency , we can understand this way, can run at a higher frequency to explain the better the core constitution, the right to spend more than dozens to buy the core constitution, laugh ~

Of course, in fact, the author is most looking forward to the performance of this product after the nuclear, I believe will not let everyone down!
