Overview
The SAPPHIRE Pulse Radeon RX550 is a low-tier model perfect for online games
like League of Legneds, Voerwatch, Rocket League or Counter Strike:Global
Offensive. Based on a modern Polaris architecture and sporting 512 GCN stream
processors boost-clocked at 1206 MHz, the RX550 is up to 5X faster than an Intel
integrated Graphics and up to 2X faster than the previous generation Radeon R7
250 card. The modern GPU also means better support for the latest display and
video technologies, such as DriectX 12, FreeSync or H.265 4K encoding.
Fuse protection
In order to protect your card, the SAPPHIRE NITRO+ series cards have fuse
protection built into the circuit of the external PCI-E power connector to keep
the components safe.
Long life black polymer cap
High quality aluminum-made long life capacitor is not only to extend the
component life time, the product reliability and overclocking ability are also
improved. When operational temperatures dropped by 20°C, the product life span
is going to be extended up to a factor of ten. In addition, when the operational
temperature increased by 20°C, the product life span only decreased by 10%.
Frame Rate Target Control
Frame Rate Target Control (FRTC) enables users to set a target maximum frame
rate when playing an application in full screen mode; the benefit being that
FRTC can reduce GPU power consumption (great for games running at frame rates
much higher than the display refresh rate) and therefore reduce heat generation
and fan speeds/noise on the graphics card.
Frame Rate Target Control caps performance not only in 3D rendered in-game
scenes, but also in splash screens, loading screens and menus, where frame rates
can often run needlessly into the hundreds of FPS. Users might wish to set a
very high cap just to limit wasteful FPS like that seen in menus and such, while
still taking advantage of the responsiveness given by FPS well beyond 60.
DirectX® 12
DirectX® 12 is a new, “console-like” graphics API from Microsoft® that
empowers game developers with more direct and obvious control of PC hardware.
This direct or “explicit” control better exposes the hardware resources of AMD
Radeon™ GPUs to yield higher hardware throughput and, ultimately, more
performance for users. To put it simply: much more efficient hardware through
smarter software! At the discretion of a game developer, this superior
efficiency can be spent on higher framerates, lower latency (VR), lower power
consumption, better image quality, or some calculated balance of all four. In
any scenario, gamers stand to benefit greatly from choosing AMD hardware to run
their favorite DirectX® 12 game.
AMD Freesync technology
No stuttering. No tearing. Just gaming.
AMD FreeSync™ technology allows a compatible graphics card and monitor to
dynamically change frame rates for the optimum display quality without tearing
or stuay.
Industry-Standard Displayport
Freesync uses industry-standard displayport Adaptive-Sync Eliminates screen
tearing without all the usual lag and latency.
Synchronizes the refresh rate of a compatible monitor to the frame rate of
your content, however much it varies.
Monitor partners are validating with drivers from AMD now .
AMD XConnect™ Technology
Plug in and game on with AMD XConnect technology.
Now it’s easier than ever to connect and use an external Radeon™ graphics
card. With AMD XConnect™ technology, external GPU enclosures configured with
Radeon™ Graphics can easily connect and disconnect to a compatible ultrathin
notebook or 2-in 1 over Thunderbolt™ 3 at any time, just like a USB flash
drive—a first for external GPUs!
AMD Eyefinity Technology
Multidisplay technology for gaming, productivity and entertainment
We are taking you beyond the boundaries of traditional PC displays. AMD
Eyefinity technology expands the traditional limits of desktop computing by
multiplying your screen area. With multiple monitors, games become more
immersive, workstations become more useful and you become more productive (an
average of 42% more productive according to one study).
Take your PC games to the next level of reality and immersion. Most modern
games look great on three screens, and only AMD Radeon™ graphics offer you the
ability to play across five screens for an eye-popping gaming experience. Other
combinations and configurations with up to six screens work too.1 Create your
dream display.
AMD Crossfire™
Harness the power of multiple GPUs
AMD CrossFire™ technology is the ultimate multi-GPU performance gaming
platform. Unlocking game-dominating power, AMD CrossFire™ harnesses the power of
two or more discrete graphics cards working in parallel to dramatically improve
gaming performance.1 AMD CrossFire™ technology ready graphics cards fit
practically every budget. With the flexibility to combine two, three or four
GPUs, AMD CrossFire™ technology is the perfect solution for those who demand
extreme performance.
HDR Ready
High Dynamic Range (HDR) is a state-of-the-art technology for gamers and
cinephiles that care deeply about the display quality of their TV or monitor.
Modeled after the acuity of human vision, HDR vastly expands the range of colors
and contrast ratios that can be shown by compatible displays. HDR-ready games
and movies played on an HDR display appear strikingly sharp, colorful, and
vivid, with enhanced contrast and sophisticated nuance compared to even the most
stunning SDR content.
