Sapphire's Platinum Edition uses the reference RX 480 cooler, painted silver, which is the origin of the "Platinum" name. The card features a silver plastic panel on the cooler shroud and a backplate covering the entire length of the PCB. The RX 470 packs 2,048 stream processors, 128 TMUs, 32 ROPs, and a 256-bit GDDR5 memory interface. The Platinum Edition carries a slightly boosted engine clock of 1216MHz versus the 1206MHz reference. It draws power from a single 6-pin PCIe connector and has a TDP of 150W. The RX 470's stated aim is to deliver a 60fps-plus experience at 1080p in the latest titles, with support for AMD FreeSync, DirectX 12, and CrossFireX multi-GPU setups. Being a used card, buyers should check condition carefully before purchasing.
