Sapphire AMD Radeon RX 550 4GB PULSE Graphics Card

why will you rebel? #radeonrebels

A compact yet powerful GPU, the RX 550 PULSE from Sapphire features 4GB memory and holds a host of intriguing features. Enhanced fuses and Black Polymer caps all help with your cards protection, while features such as the advanced cooling and Frame Rate Target Control push your gaming experience to its peak, for longer. These are just a few of the RX 550 PULSE’s technologies.

In order to protect your card, the SAPPHIRE PULSE series cards have fuse protection built into the circuit of the external PCI-E power connector to keep the components safe.

High quality aluminum-made long life capacitor is not only to extend the component life time, the product reliability and overclocking ability are also improved. When operational temperatures dropped by 20°C, the product life span is going to be extended up to a factor of ten. In addition, when the operational temperature increased by 20°C, the product life span only decreased by 10%.

Frame Rate Target Control (FRTC) enables users to set a target maximum frame rate when playing an application in full screen mode; the benefit being that FRTC can reduce GPU power consumption (great for games running at frame rates much higher than the display refresh rate) and therefore reduce heat generation and fan speeds/noise on the graphics card.

Frame Rate Target Control caps performance not only in 3D rendered in-game scenes, but also in splash screens, loading screens and menus, where frame rates can often run needlessly into the hundreds of FPS. Users might wish to set a very high cap just to limit wasteful FPS like that seen in menus and such, while still taking advantage of the responsiveness given by FPS well beyond 60.
