Sapphire unveils Radeon RX 6800 (XT) NITRO and PULSE series
Sapphire has finally unveiled its custom Radeon RX 6800 series custom graphics cards. Five cards have been released today: RX 6800 XT NITRO+ SE, RX 6800 XT NITRO+ (non-SE), RX 6800 XT PULSE and their respective non-XT variants. Sadly no clock speeds have been published by Sapphire.
All four cards feature a triple-fan and 2.7 slot design. The cards have been equipped with dual 8-pin power connectors. Sapphire recommends a power supply of at least 850W.

The Radeon RX 6800 XT features 4608 Stream Processors and 16GB of GDDR6 memory. The NITRO+ SE model from Sapphire features RGB lightning around the fans, which seems to be an exclusive feature to this particular model.

Sapphire Radeon RX 6800 XT PULSE (11304-03-20G)
Both XT and non-XT RX 6800 cards appear to be identical in terms of design. Unlike the RX 6800 XT NITRO+, the PULSE series do not feature a USB Type-C connector. The manufacturer has not confirmed if there are any LED illuminated elements on the card, but one would guess that the Sapphire logo on the site will light up.
