Not the best looking Sapphire in history, as that one goes to the original RX480 Nitro+ IMO. Other than that, this card looks clean and tidy. I have no idea how it does it, but you can. It may not be FSR or DLSS, but you can upscale ANY game you want through it using the GPU. Yuka said:One super important point about Sapphire cards: they have upsampling built in into TRIXX. We have to wonder if Sapphire will look into updating Trixx Boost to incorporate AMD FSR instead of RIS, given both are open source, but AMD FSR has better overall image quality supposedly. It's sort of like AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution ( AMD FSR) only it was already available a year ago, and it works in all games.

On the other hand, Trixx Boost can easily get you 20% more performance, in about 30 seconds, for a minor drop in image quality but zero reduction (that I noticed) in stability. However, that generally comes after an hour or so of tweaking and tuning, and it's still not guaranteed to be 100% stable. If you custom-tune your GPU, adjusting clocks and increasing the fan speed, you might get a 10% increase in overall performance. I managed about 75% accuracy, but considering random guessing would get me 50%, that's not too bad.Д¬ertainly, Sapphire makes a case for Trixx Boost being more practical than end-user overclocking. I gave it a shot, having someone else set the in-game resolution to 2560x1440 or 2176x1224 while I was out of the room, then coming back and trying to determine whether Trixx Boost was enabled or not. Subjectively, though, most people likely wouldn't even notice the difference unless they're specifically told to look for it. What about image quality? There's a bit of a tradeoff there, mostly noticeable on high contrast text. Like most other RX 6600 XT cards, it also includes a single 8-pin power connector, and unless you plan on radical overclocks with LN2, that should be more than sufficient. We'll see the effects of that design choice when we get to the power and cooling tests later, but potential buyers shouldn't have anything to worry about. Sapphire uses two custom-sized 88mm fans, with integrated rims that help improve the static air pressure and cooling.

The ASRock Phantom by comparison weighs 898g and measures 306x131x47mm, while the Gigabyte Eagle measures 289x112x38mm and tips the scales at 674g. The Pulse measures 240x118x43mm (our measurements - the official size is 240x119.85x44.75mm) and weighs just 611g.
