**Unboxing and First Impressions of the Sapphire Nitro Gaming Card**

As I carefully opened the box containing the Sapphire Nitro gaming card, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation. The card's design and features had caught my attention, and I was eager to dive in and explore its capabilities. At first glance, the card's durability stood out to me. It's clear that Sapphire has focused on building a product that can withstand the rigors of intense gaming sessions.

As I began to unbox the card, I noticed three fans - a testament to Sapphire's emphasis on cooling, which is a crucial aspect of any high-performance graphics card. The fans are also interchangeable, making it easy for users to customize their setup to suit their preferences. Additionally, the magnetic stop feature allows users to easily switch between fan speeds and configurations. Another notable feature is the ability to purchase an RGB kit separately, which can be attached to the Sapphire logo to create a custom lighting effect.

One of the standout features of the Sapphire Nitro card is its support for virtual reality (VR) applications. With two DisplayPort outputs and HDMI connectivity, users have more flexibility when it comes to pairing their graphics card with VR headsets or monitors. The eight-pin power connector also suggests that this card is designed to handle high levels of power consumption - a necessity for any serious gaming setup.

Despite the many positive features, there was one aspect of the Sapphire Nitro card that left me underwhelmed: its RGB lighting system. While I appreciate the innovative approach, I couldn't help but feel that it could have been executed in a more elegant and integrated way. The fact that an additional cable is required to control the RGB lights on the motherboard or controller is somewhat disappointing, especially given the card's premium price tag.

As I continued to explore the Sapphire Nitro card, I noticed another potential design flaw: the placement of the RGB fan connectors. When viewed from a certain angle, it appears as though the connector holes are not centered - an issue that may be addressed through future firmware updates or driver enhancements.

**Additional Observations and Notes**

In my opinion, one of the most significant omissions in the Sapphire Nitro card is a display adapter for HDMI inputs. Historically, many high-end graphics cards have come equipped with DisplayPort-to-HDMI adapters, which allowed users to connect their cards to non-DisplayPort monitors or headsets. The absence of this feature may make it necessary for users to purchase additional adapters - an unnecessary expense that I believe could be mitigated by the inclusion of a universal adapter.

Another area where Sapphire could improve is in the realm of aesthetics. While the card's overall design is sleek and modern, some of its components appear to be compromised for cost savings. The lack of a bundled RGB cable, for example, may seem like a minor issue to some users, but it can also make an otherwise polished product feel slightly rough around the edges.

Overall, my initial impressions of the Sapphire Nitro card are largely positive. Its impressive cooling capabilities, versatile connectivity options, and VR support all contribute to its status as a formidable competitor in the high-end gaming market. However, I do hope that Sapphire will address some of the issues mentioned above in future updates or revisions - both for the benefit of users and to ensure that this card lives up to its full potential.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enall of these my wife thanks to my friend guys we get to do an open box on the Radeon 5700 XT but not just any 5700 this is a sapphire Nitro this is one of my favorite brands when it comes to Andy Radeon cards these guys know their gear so let's just open this up and take a look at such a beauty did you tell them what I have what I have this is not replacing working beside which really makes me sad again he has a 5,700 XT from Asus which man has failed him now that I've reformatted and cleared my motherboard and my BIOS and whatever else all of the Nvidia crap right it is running better Lee was freezing up correct but that's the now going to tighten the screws everybody needs to know if you bought a 5700 prior to the latest releases it is highly recommended to tighten your screws up you shouldn't have to take it apart you have to contact Asus this is only for the Asus brand there's only for the Asus rod you have to contact aces and they send you screws ok but the minute you pull that card apart to put those new screws in Lloyds warranty forwards from what I from Myers day don't quote me on that it doesn't it doesn't make sense to me because I would think that if specially if they're gonna send it to you they're giving you that offer they're saying hey do it I don't heavy on the AMD bandwagon ok I am the Indian both all three of my builds are all indeed I do have an EVGA 1060 SS c6 King love it no it's a wonder it's a great card you don't talk about those things on my channel sorry if that's in my son's PC but I took a lot of flack for these yes and you probably would have but this card is actually really good and you my friend have PCI 4 so not only do you get a card that is a bad boy don't you open the pipeline's yet impressive that's behind me so guys we're gonna open this up take a look at it and I'm gonna cry that's just the bottom line so sit back relax like just opening it the one thing I'm not sold on was it getting I'm a nation sketch right everything is a since Motors erases my boards erases everything is aces except for this what's behind me I guess but I guess I get spoiled with stickers no I get it and and and crap anything but when I got this I hope I was disappointed it doesn't come with stickers apparently didn't come with a 3/32 said it didn't come with a $0.32 5 volt RGB cable that's something I want to point out or gonna take a look at that in a second so basically you just get the card a manual in the box and a bag and a very big card so oh my god guys take a look at this stop playing with me it is kind of upside down but not this is the way it would go in your computer but we know in that way but are we going this way everybody this way why's it got to be like that so guys take a look at this look at the aluminum machining on this it is really nice it really is and that is important because what a card this size there's a lot of bending that happens and as he pointed out this Asus it was a hard ROG John my Asus nice is our honesty does sag a little bit it's all plastic yeah it's all but there must be some metal here really it does sag and I was concerned when I built that it is in a snow one mm-hmm so it's uh-hmm I was I wasn't sure if it was the machining of the case to wear it look like the USB in the connectors were gonna touch the metal right there that the USB the hdmi displayport was gonna touch metal looked a little close to me where I wanted to be take my Dremel and shave it down a little bit right that's how it just sags okay no all right look there's not much there not and there's no move in the motherboard and the money the motherboard to get rid of that right now there are things that you can buy of course to elevate your video card there's nice ones that are RGB and so on but the bottom line is we're talking build quality here and this sapphire definitely has it and I'll show you what I'm talking about so not only do you have this aluminum plate here this shroud is built to come down both into the aluminum plate that adds a box system that box system as we can see here allows this to have massive durability it isn't bending and I'm popping his bubbles I need to pop his bubbles but anyway guys this is the open box of it so you can see here three fans because this is the Nitro and with nitros they tend to focus a lot on cooling which is really good another thing because this is your moment off these fans are interchangeable oh these are the magnetic stop you can buy it you can buy a kit at our DB yes sir RGB they just pop it in sapphire again boys and girls I think it's like 60 bucks us for the kid okay so here we have the Sapphire local here will light up yeah I don't know nothing lights up here unless you changed okay that's true unless you're doing in this way male why put the RGB fans in you're just wasting right it's just like firing up and depending on what you're going for of course the other thing I thought was really good they really focused hard on VR now what I say that there's two types of VR now I think VR has got a lot of DisplayPort going on but if it didn't most of urs like the older ones were HDMI and when you're using your HDMI to go out to your main monitor you had hdmi and displayport most people had to go out and buy active DisplayPort adapters to go to HDMI well this has two HDMI and to display ports which is phenomenal so now you can also dual output if you wanted to duel each you might have different TVs for example a TV and a monitor separate resolutions the other thing this is power-hungry to eight pin eight pin yes to eight pin power connectors so you definitely are looking at a power-hungry video card here on top of that there is one flaw that I was actually a little disappointed about sapphire and that is their RGB setup now I get it because not having a memory video card to a married motherboard manufacturer you can't control the mother bore the RGB on the card does not include this they didn't actually include this RGB cable to me that is very disgusting considering the price tag of this card how much was this Kirk I'm not gonna say what I got it for okay okay but I do retail like okay so but for 600 Canadian you expect a dollar cable to be in there three dollars for three dollars so what happens is this has to go through here plug in and then go to your RGB on your motherboard or your controller and that is how you control the lights on here again a neat concept but it could have been done differently in my opinion it should have been but again we don't know how the PCIe and other manufacturers marry together and that could be why I was done to make sure that anybody that didn't have even RGB support under board still at RGB support that could be one issue the other thing that I was thinking it over was is it something to do with controllers is it something to a performance we don't know but anyway they did go this route and that's unfortunate that didn't come in the box but because they went that route the way I mean if you flip it over the way the way it's run here mmm okay here's them here's your board right this should come out here yes did you I mean it's just or you could actually make it happen by just good you could write okay it is a design flaw in my opinion as far as aesthetics go it's not a design flaw as far as like actually what I know it's not right but at the end of day it's kill management it's how you run your wires so guys I just want to make it clear if you're buying this card this table does not come in the box you do need to buy it separately if you want to light up your sapphire logo if you're not into that lights up it lights up oh it's still lights up without that control we're done the street can't be controlled so you get a rainbow effect if you're like me and you want all red great you have to have that camera so there you go thank God I have someone in the background that actually played with the card okay guys till next time it's been all fun and games and I'm gonna cry a little more we're gonna put the word but dying mine okay game overall of these my wife thanks to my friend
