Sapphire Removes Vapour Chamber from Radeon RX 7900 XT Nitro: Is This the Reason the GPU Is Cheaper?

(Image credit- Wccftech) The "RX7900XT 20G Ultra Platinum L" graphics card, a more consumer-friendly addition to Sapphire China's product selection, was just introduced. With this new feature, AMD hopes to offer a compelling replacement for the RX 7900 XT NITRO+ Vapor-X GPU while still providing acceptable performance.

Choosing Cost-Effective Cooling: Vapour Chamber vs. Copper Base

The absence of a secondary RGB strip is one distinguishing quality of the RX7900XT 20G Ultra Platinum L, according to the report. The card's facing-the-motherboard strip on Vapor-X does not produce any light. Additionally, Sapphire purposefully decided not to include the Vapor-X edition's Vapour Chamber Cooling technology. Instead, they have chosen a copper foundation, which offers a less expensive manufacturing option with a marginally poorer thermal efficiency.

The card nevertheless has the same PCB layout as its more expensive version, with three 8-pin power connectors and three BIOS settings to provide the user with flexibility. Introducing the RX7900XT 20G Ultra Platinum L Sapphire has set the RX7900XT 20G Ultra Platinum L's price at $898, promoting it as a more affordable alternative to the Vapor-X model, which costs 500 RMB more. Notably, this cost is less than AMD's RX 7900 XT's official MSRP of $1,053, giving customers a tempting chance to purchase high-performance graphics at a more affordable cost. According to the reports, Sapphire's dedication to accommodating a wider range of user tastes and budgets is demonstrated by the debut of the RX7900XT 20G Ultra Platinum L. Sapphire hopes to give solutions that satisfy the needs of budget-conscious gamers without severely compromising features and capabilities by extending its product selection with this more affordable graphics card. Customers may enjoy high-performance gaming without breaking the bank with the RX7900XT 20G Ultra Platinum L. This product promotes a more inclusive gaming ecosystem by enabling enthusiasts to access fluid and engaging gameplay at a more affordable price point.
