Sapphire RX 7700 XT FROSTPUNK 2 Edition Graphics Card Bundle is Too Good to Miss!
Peter Donnell / 4 weeks ago
Upgrading your graphics card is pretty easy in 2024, as you simply need one thing, some money. But even easier is that there’s no shortage of really great performance hardware too, with even modern entry-level models providing exciting performance in the latest and most popular games, and further options still if you want to game at high frame rates, high resolutions, or both. Of course, everyone has their limits, and paying £1000+ for the most extreme cards is likely unappealing on many levels for a lot of gamers and their wallets. However, that’s where the RX 7700 XT comes into play, costing under £400 it delivers some pretty incredible features and performance for enthusiast-level gaming, and now it also offers some rather unique aesthetics, with the release of the Sapphire PURE AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT 12GB Frostpunk 2 Edition graphics card.
While it’s not worth retreading old ground with this one, as the RX 7700 XT is well reviewed by ourselves and many others. We know it’s a fantastic chipset that offers some very competitive value for money for PC gaming, it has done so since it launched in 2023, and that much has not changed as we approach 2025.
Features
- Tough Metal Backplate: The all-aluminum backplate provides additional rigidity, ensuring no bending and keeping dust out. It also helps cool your card by increasing heat dissipation.
- Digital Power Design: SAPPHIRE PURE AMD Radeon™ RX 7000 Series cards are designed with digital power, providing accurate power control and excellent power efficiency.
- High TG Copper PCB: The GPU is mounted on a high-density 14-layer 2oz copper and high TG PCB to handle the speed, current, and power requirements of the GPU and memory, guaranteeing high stability during operation.
- Optimized Composite Heatpipe: The composite heatpipes are fine-tuned for each cooling design with optimal heat flow, efficiently and evenly spreading the heat across the cooling module.
- Angular Velocity Fan Blade: This fan blade design provides a double layer of downward air pressure, resulting in up to 44% more downward air pressure and up to 19% more airflow for quieter and cooler operation compared to previous generations.
- Fuse Protection: SAPPHIRE cards have fuse protection built into the external PCI-E power connector circuit to keep components safe.
- Graphics Card Supporter: Includes a graphics card supporter to keep the card securely in place on the PCIe slot.
- ARGB SAPPHIRE Logo: An ARGB logo, set to the signature Frostpunk 2 orange by default, adds a fiery touch. It can be easily adjusted or turned off.
- Two-Ball Bearing: Dual ball bearing fans have an approximately 85% longer lifespan than sleeve bearings. Improvements to the fan blades result in up to 10% quieter operation than the previous generation.
We reviewed the Sapphire RX 7700 XT Pure 12GB Graphics Card last year, and it was pretty fantastic. Delivering high frame rates while using ultra settings at 1440p in many AAA games, meaning it has more than enough performance grunt to satisfy the needs of any gamer.
So while the performance hasn’t really changed, short of a few driver updates and optimizations in that time, Sapphire has decided to do something more unique to appeal to the gaming market. With their new Frostpunk 2 edition, you’ll be able to showcase your graphics card with a more unique design than this card’s standard editions.
