So I finally have been able to nab a video card that I’ve been waiting for a while to bring to you
it took me quite some time but there's nothing worse than waiting all that time to finally get
that video card and then find out you're missing that cable you're missing that adapter your case
isn't big enough don't worry my friends in this video we're going to be doing an
unboxing and a brief overview of the sapphire Radeon nitro RX 6600 XT gaming OC model number
11309-01-20 g we're going to be going through all the features specifications how the card looks
measuring the card how much power it takes up and all that good stuff in this video to prepare
you when you finally get that card so you don't have to wait anymore so let's get started all
right so here we are again the sapphire Radeon nitro RX 6600 XT gaming OC card along the front
sapphire nitro overclocked 1080p FHD gaming 8 gigs of memory gddr6 PCIE 4.0 support HDMI and
DP as well so the card is built off of the AMD RDNA 2 architecture and along the side
here nitro Radeon nothing special so back here we can see the minimum system requirements sapphire
recommends a 500 watt power supply now as it is the card will consume 180 watts the rest of that
is for your system of course sapphire nitro AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT graphics card nothing
that special along here just kind of going over some of the features
bottom of the card serial number qr code all that good stuff UPC and along the top nothing much
so let's go ahead open it up all right so we can see nothing else in the box plain brown box
no real reason to have pretty art on this inner box
kind of difficult to open for some reason all right so first off we have the required
representative in Germany little paper it's included in all the sapphire cards
it shows here the manufacturer of the video card blank on the back
now here is the sapphire graphics card quick installation guide you don't have to worry too
much about this I’m going to be showing you in the up coming video how to uninstall your
old video card and install this brand new video card coming up soon either way the information
on there is very basic I’m gonna put this aside right now just to see what else comes in this box
so a bunch of foam little guy here and you know nothing else in this box
so if there's any kind of VGA dvi any sort of adapters I’ll list them down below but it does
not include any okay and then here we have the video card itself or the card wrapped up
this is a different approach it looks a little bit different so first off they do have
all this wrapping on here you want to make sure now it's not going to stop
any of the fans or airflow but you want to make sure you remove it all
that's kind of nice you remove it all before you install it you don't want any of that
to fall in your system and there's usually some over here i don't see it right now but
either way the card does look actually very nice now it looks like they went over a different
design aspect on it I’m not used to seeing this gray bar here on a nitro card it's not a pulse
then over here Radeon sapphire over here we can see there is only a single
eight pin PCIE connection all right and then over here we have a little
three pin ARGB connection so you can connect this into your motherboard using sapphire tricks
to control all of that and I’ll have a separate video on how to do that as well then over here
we have the BIOS switch so more than likely the switch over here you might be able to see that
right there is coming in the default mode but you can switch it over to go into the overclocked
controlled by the sapphire nitro software again I’m going to show you how to do all of that
just switching it back just so that i don't forget then also in here we can see the heat pipe and
the heatsink down here then over here the eight pin PCIE connection yes it needs to be connected
along the back we can see the fins of the heatsink to keep everything nice and cool now this has
been introduced a little while ago but i still love to see it on new video cards the fact that
first off it is it does have a back plate to help you know the card from sagging a little
tiny bit but the fact that it is open back here so that you can see those fans spinning through
the fins of the radiator that helps blow heat out into your system up this way and then typically
there's going to be a fan out of here exhausting and then maybe sometimes some fans along the top
of the system for liquid cooling also exhausting so helping keep some of that heat off of the card
i love when they do that then the back of the card in typical sapphire i was going to say nation but
in typical sapphire design the back plate and then all of these kind of little techie designs here
saying Radeon here open the long here is the back of the GPU with the GPU support so the
card measures 9.5 inches in length from the top of the card to the bottom we're at about 5.25 inches
in height and the card is almost two inches tall so then along the bottom of the card we have the
model number serial number part number I’ve had to kind of blur it out sorry about that
and then along the back over here we can see covered and I’ll remove that right now
three display ports one two three and one HDMI port now both ports are able to support seven
thousand six hundred and eighty by four 4320 or both types of port are able to support that
and you are able to simultaneously use all four of these ports
then along over here we can see where the card will exhaust from aside from back over here
and surely some out over here as well into your system now the card does have two fans
sapphire calls their dual x cooling technology with precision fan control intelligent fan control
two ball bearing fans cards also do support fan check through tricks and then fan quick connect
so that if let's say one fan dies you can take the fan out and pop it back in really quick and
really easily without having to 100 dissect the video card now again this is based off of
AMD's seven nanometer RDNA ii architecture the card has a boost clock of up to 2607 megahertz
a game clock of up to 2428 megahertz it has 2048 stream processors, 32 megs of infinity cash 32 ray
accelerators and 8 gigs of 16 gigabits per second gddr6 effective memory clock so while this is a
lower end card AMD made this card for 1080p gaming and definitely it's going to be great for that
the card also supports dx12 ultimate and will also utilize AMD's smart access memory all on
a PCIE 4.0 bus it will also support PCIE 3.0 the card also supports AMD FreeSync video streaming
up to 8k Radeon vr ready premium AMD fidelity fx Radeon image sharpening now also aside from all
that they do have some sort of new design right over here now that's not going to be for anything
cooling related or anything along those lines but it is nice just a little bit nicer to look
at being the bottom of the card i don't know that you're going to be looking at it very much
but you know it's there and it looks different from all their other designs i kind of like it
being a little bit different so we've gone over all the features and specifications of the card
what comes in the box unfortunately not much comes in the box so down in the description I’ll have a
few links for some of the adapters unfortunately because of the times not only is it difficult to
find the card but when you do find the card the prices are well over MSRP now mind you this is a
third party card it will never be MSRP it's always going to be higher from anyone that you buy from
other than AMD because they have to do their r d for proper cooling all their designs the heatsinks
all the third-party stuff tools applications you have to pay for that as well so just realize that
even you know 12 years from now when we don't have any of these kind of issues you are always
going to pay more than MSRP now aside from that i bought this particular card on broadcast which
unfortunately was a lot more than MSRP but that is for anybody right now so if you like this video go
ahead click like and subscribe to stay up to date the next video is going to be on installing the
video card removing the old video card popping in the new video card and then benchmarking
gameplay all that good stuff so definitely stay tuned also if you feel like this video has helped
you and you want to support the channel go ahead buy me a cup of coffee it helps a ton
