With the GPRO X 070, Sapphire has a new, passively cooled variant of the two-year-old Radeon RX 5700 XT presented. There is no cooler and fan on the new model, but only the relatively large heat sink with four heat pipes, which is supposed to cool all important components. The air flow must therefore be ensured by appropriate ventilation of the housing, because without air flow no heat exchange can take place here either.

The GPRO X 070 is primarily aimed at professional users, but can also be of interest to private users who prefer a particularly quiet system.

The other specifications of the Radeon RX 5700 XT has not changed anything. The new custom model of the card is still equipped with 8 GB GDDR6 graphics memory, which is connected via a 256 bit-wide interface. In addition, the GPRO X has 070 40 Compute Units with 2. 560 Shader units. The level of the clock frequency depends on the mode in which the GPRO X 070 is operating. You can choose between the “Default Mode” with clock rates of up to 1. 905 MHz and the “Efficiency Mode” with up to 1. 750 MHz waits.

The graphics card can also be connected to a monitor with one HDMI or three display port connections. The card can be purchased directly from the manufacturer Sapphire, but so far no price has been given. Even when exactly the GPRO X 070 will come onto the market is still unclear.
