The store offers RX 500 Series graphics cards for sale, but in this case those customized by Sapphire, whose mission is to take over the basic and mid-range of graphics cards, as the Sapphire RX 580 top of the range.

AMD RX 500 Series graphics cards are being filtered in some stores, beginning to be introduced in the catalogs of the main stores. The latest to be filtered are the Sapphire RX 580 and Sapphire RX 570. Logically Sapphire will introduce a Nitro graphics card on the market, in addition to also having the PULSE models. These graphics cards will be based on the Polaris 10 and 12, GPUs that, as we have already mentioned in other cases, are a simple rehash.

The list we can see that the RX 580 and RX 570 graphics cards, which will arrive in two different versions, a version with 8GB of GDDR5 memory and another with 4GB of GDDR5 memory, for each of the models. Also, most of these graphics cards have two HDMI ports and two DisplayPort ports. Sapphire also plans to launch an AMD RX 500 MINI version graphics card, with a reduction in size, to make it compatible with HTPC and embedded equipment.

These graphics cards are priced at the entry and mid-range range, leaving the high-end price for the RX Vega, which we do not know when they will hit the market or what their features will be. We have as input the RX 550 that have a price below € 90, while the RX 570 are around € 180 and the RX 580 is around € 234 in its most basic model. The prices are a reference, then it will depend on manufacturer and store.
