Reviews last updated: June 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about Sapphire Nitro Radeon RX 570 4GB

  • Excellent build quality with a robust metal backplate
  • Highly efficient Dual-X cooling system that keeps the card quiet and cool
  • Silent fan mode (Zero DB Cooling) where fans stop spinning during low-intensity tasks
  • Great value for 1080p gaming, capable of running many titles at high/ultra settings
  • Aesthetically pleasing design with customizable RGB lighting on the Sapphire logo
  • Includes a Dual BIOS switch for performance or silent modes
  • Offers decent overclocking headroom despite being factory overclocked

What we don't like about Sapphire Nitro Radeon RX 570 4GB

  • High power consumption compared to similarly performing Nvidia cards (e.g., GTX 1060)
  • The 4GB of VRAM is becoming a bottleneck for modern AAA titles at higher settings
  • Physical size is quite large and heavy, which may not fit in smaller Mini-ITX cases
  • Requires both an 8-pin and a 6-pin power connector for optimal stability/overclocking
  • As an older 'Polaris' refresh, it lacks support for modern features like ray tracing
  • Driver support and optimization are decreasing for newer game releases

Verdict

The Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX 570 4GB is a mid-range graphics card based on the 14nm Polaris 20 XL architecture, featuring 2,048 stream processors and a factory-overclocked boost clock of up to 1340 MHz. It is equipped with 4GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering an effective memory speed of 7000 MHz and a bandwidth of 224 GB/s. Main characteristics include the robust Dual-X cooling system with two 95mm fans, a stylish metal backplate, and NITRO Glow RGB lighting. Its primary pros are excellent 1080p gaming performance, quiet operation under load thanks to Intelligent Fan Control III, and a high-quality VRM design that offers significant overclocking headroom. However, its main cons include a relatively high power draw for its performance class (150W+ TDP) requiring both 8-pin and 6-pin connectors for stability, and the 4GB VRAM capacity, which can limit performance in modern titles at higher resolutions or ultra-texture settings.
