Sapphire, one of the exclusive partners for graphics cards from AMD, not only implements the Radeon RX 7900 XTX and Radeon RX 7900 XT as Nitro+ and Vapor-X, but also in its entry-level Pulse series . The first product images of the new graphics cards and their original packaging have now appeared on the Internet.
VideoCardz has received the first product images of the Sapphire Radeon RX 7900 XTX Pulse and Radeon RX 7900 XT Pulse as well as their original packaging, which prove that the manufacturer's entry-level series also has a 2.5 to 3 slot high cooling solution with three fans in the new “9 -Blade-Design”. Unlike the Radeon RX 7900 XT(X) Nitro+ and Vapor-X, the Pulse models rely on two 8-pin PCIe 4.0 power connectors for a maximum of 366 watts.


The Nitro+ and Vapor+ series meanwhile come with 3× 8-pin and theoretically allow a supply of up to 516 watts. Overall, the custom design of the Pulse is a bit simpler than the two models placed higher.

The I/O area offers 2× HDMI 2.1 and 2× DisplayPort 2.1, while unlike the reference design, USB-C is not used. The RGB lighting is typical for the Pulse series and rather subtle compared to today's standards.
