Sapphire R9 285 2GB ITX Compact OC Edition Graphics Card Review

A Closer Look


Sapphire’s ITX Compact graphics card looks stunning, it’s almost Nvidia-esque with that GTX Titan style silver-on-black contrast. There’s no metal used here but nonetheless it still looks lovely.

Sapphire have chosen a full matte black PCB, always nice to see.

The rear I/O has great flexibility, DVI and HDMI are essentials but the dual mini DisplayPort is great for maximum display flexibility, the fact Sapphire also provide adapters helps too.

The top of the card reveals a lot of cooling has been crammed into a small space, four heat pipes reside underneath the outer shroud. Two appear to be 8mm and the other two 4 or 6mm. Near the rear I/O we find a BIOS select button to switch between UEFI and legacy modes.

Around the end we see an end-mounted 8 pin power connector, strange as I would have thought top mounting makes more sense to keep the length of the card down. There’s also a very dense heatsink on show.

At the bottom we can see the capped ends of those four cooper heat pipes.

Finally a couple more sexy shots of this great graphics card for your viewing pleasure!
