Sapphire Radeon RX 460 Nitro Teardown

The AMD Radeon RX 460 may be the smallest in the Polaris lineup, but the Sapphire RX 460 Nitro is likely the largest of the 460 bunch. As part of the upcoming review, and because this card will stay part of our testing lineup for upcoming games, I decided to tear down the card to take a detailed look at the cooling solution as well at the board layout on the PCB. Don’t worry; all thermal and overclocking tests were completed prior to this tear down.

I figured something like this could be useful for anyone looking at how to break things down as well as anyone curious how things looks under the hood. Let us know if this is something you would like to keep seeing coming in the future. Of course we’ll only be able to do it with the cards we get to keep, so there’s that.
