Over the last few days, we’ve had a few rumours about the new Sapphire TOXIC graphics cards. They haven’t had a TOXIC series card for quite a few years, and the last ones I recall were the RX 280X TOXIC we reviewed 7 years ago! That still is one of my all-time favourite graphics cards too, that and the Sapphire 280X Vapor-X. So, I’m pretty happy to hear the branding is coming back!
The first teaser looked more like a power supply, and the second teaser didn’t show us much more than a power connector. Now we have our first proper look at the cards design thanks to some renders!
Sapphire RX 6000 TOXIC
The card doesn’t look anywhere near as unique as the older TOXIC cards, at least in my opinion. It does actually look like the EVGA and ASUS liquid-cooled cards. It features a massive 360mm radiator, RGB lighting, and a huge fan and radiator configuration. I guess, why have just one cooler when you can have two!
There’s no doubt about it, this card is going to be tuned for high-end performance. That amount of cooling will allow the card to keep the clock speeds dialled high. Of course, we don’t know the clock speeds, specifications, or much really, but the design does look interesting. However, the Navi 21 chipset is a bit of a beast, and I’m certain this card will be pretty swift given it takes 2 x 8 pin PSU headers, and an additional 6-pin header!
We expect more updates on this very soon, so stay tuned!
