A German merchant provides us with the first images and specifications of the Sapphire Radeon RX VEGA 56 PULSE. That is a custom model of the RX Vega series from AMD.
Sapphire Radeon RX VEGA 56 PULSE appears in a German store
This card is part of the PULSE series from Sapphire, which uses an entirely customized PCB with a dual turbine cooling system. The most curious thing about this design is that the graphics card heatsink is twice as long as the PCB, which has enabled them to add a second fan in this space. The PULSE occupies three PCIe slots and measures 28.2 cm x 12.5 cm.
Despite belonging to another series, the RX Vega 56 PULSE has much in common with the high-end Nitro + model. Both models rely on a pair of 8-pin PCIe power connectors and even share the same memory specifications.
Custom model for tan ‘solo’ 789 euros
This model comes with a base clock of 1208 MHz (+52 MHz) and increases the clock to 1512 MHz (+41 MHz). With this data on the table, they would place this model with a frequency of 60 MHz below the NITRO +. The amount of HBM2 memory would be 8GB, a typical capacity in AMD’s high-end graphics cards (and more than enough for current games).
The store Alternate.de is listing this personalized graphics card by Sapphire for, the not insignificant figure, of 789 euros and would be available from February .
