Sapphire's Radeon RX 5500 XT NITRO+ Special Edition graphics card has been listed by Amazon, unveiling its specifications and pricing.

Sapphire's Top Radeon RX 5500 XT Custom Design, The Nitro+ Special Edition, Listed By Amazon For $259 US

The Sapphire Radeon RX 5500 XT Nitro+ Special Edition is the top custom design that will feature the Navi 14 GPU. The card features 1408 stream processors which means that there are 22 CUs or compute units featured on the card. It also packs 88 TMUs and 32 ROPs at 110W TDP. There's also up to 8 GB of GDDR6 memory featured on the card that runs across a 128-bit bus interface at clock speeds of 12 Gbps, delivering a cumulative bandwidth of 224 GB/s.

The card would come with higher factory overclocks out of the box which could end up around 2.0 GHz (peak boost clock). As for the design of the card, it has all the premium details that could be expected from a Sapphire NITRO+ variant. Starting off with the cooler, we are looking at a dual-fan design on a shroud with a honeycomb texture. Both fans feature RGB LEDs along the inner frame. The card comes in a dual-slot form factor and has an extended cooler which would deliver better cooling performance than the PULSE edition that Sapphire offers.

Under the shroud lies a heatsink which is made out of four heat pipes that connect two large aluminum fin blocks and a copper base plate for the GPU itself. There's a nice looking, metallic backplate that features the NITRO+ design and does a good job at hiding the extended heat sink. The card features a very small PCB that houses an 8+1 phase power delivery and a single 8 pin connector to boot. Display outputs include triple DP and a single HDMI port.
