SAPPHIRE Radeon RX 550 DirectX 12 100414P4GL 4GB 128-Bit GDDR5 Video Card Boost Clock 1206 MHz

SAPPHIRE PULSE Radeon RX 550 100414P4GL 4GB 128-Bit GDDR5 Video Card The SAPPHIRE Pulse Radeon RX550 video card is great for online games, like League of Legneds, Voerwatch, Rocket League or
Counter Strike: Global Offensive. Based on a modern Polaris architecture and equipped with 4GB 128-Bit GDDR5 memory and 512 GCN stream processors boost-clocked at 1206 MHz, the SAPPHIRE Pulse Radeon RX550 is up to 5X faster than an Intel integrated Graphics and up to 2X faster than the previous generation Radeon R7 250 card. AMD FreeSync technology puts an end to choppy gameplay and broken frames with fluid, artifact-free performance at virtually any framerate. The HDR ready capabilities equip you for the new wave of HDR displays, content and the future of gaming. Long Life Black Polymer Cap High quality aluminum-made long life capacitor is not only to extend the component life time, the product reliability and overclocking ability are also improved. When operational temperatures dropped by 20°C, the product life span is going to be extended up to a factor of ten. In addition, when the operational temperature increased by 20°C, the product life span only decreased by 10%. Frame Rate Target Control Frame Rate Target Control (FRTC) enables you to set a target maximum frame rate when playing an application in full screen mode; the benefit being that FRTC can reduce GPU power consumption (great for games running at frame rates much higher than the display refresh rate) and therefore reduce heat generation and fan speeds/noise on the graphics card.

Frame Rate Target Control caps performance not only in 3D rendered in-game scenes, but also in splash screens, loading screens and menus, where frame rates can often run needlessly into the hundreds of FPS. You might wish to set a very high cap just to limit wasteful FPS like that seen in menus and such, while still taking advantage of the responsiveness given by FPS well beyond 60. DirectX 12 DirectX 12 is a new, “console-like” graphics API from Microsoft that empowers game developers with more direct and obvious control of PC hardware. This direct or “explicit” control better exposes the hardware resources of AMD Radeon GPUs to yield higher hardware throughput and, ultimately, more performance for users.
To put it simply: much more efficient hardware through smarter software! At the discretion of a game developer, this superior efficiency can be spent on higher framerates, lower latency (VR), lower power consumption, better image quality, or some calculated balance of all four. In any scenario, gamers stand to benefit greatly from choosing AMD hardware to run their favorite DirectX 12 games. AMD Freesync Technology No stuttering. No tearing. Just gaming. AMD FreeSync technology allows a compatible graphics card and monitor to dynamically change frame rates for the optimum display quality without tearing or stuttering. Industry-Standard Displayport Freesync uses industry-standard displayport Adaptive-Sync to eliminate screen tearing without all the usual lag and latency. Synchronizes the refresh rate of a compatible monitor to the frame rate of your content, however much it varies. Monitor partners are validating with drivers from AMD now. AMD XConnect Technology Plug in and game on with AMD XConnect technology. Now it’s easier than ever to connect and use an external Radeon graphics card. With AMD XConnect technology, external GPU enclosures configured with Radeon Graphics can easily connect and disconnect to a compatible ultrathin notebook or 2-in 1 over Thunderbolt 3 at any time, just like a USB flash drive - a first for external GPUs! AMD Eyefinity Technology Multidisplay technology for gaming, productivity and entertainment AMD Eyefinity technology expands the traditional limits of desktop computing by multiplying your screen area.

With multiple monitors, games become more immersive, workstations become more useful
