Sapphire GPRO X080 and X060 Mining GPUs Based on AMD RDNA2 Navi Architecture Surface

Sapphire, along with various other AIB partners from AMD, has been making graphics cards exclusively for cryptocurrency mining. With the arrival of AMD’s RDNA2 generation, this has continued as well. However, the company has been doing it more quietly to avoid backslash from its customers already furious about the poor availability of graphics cards in general. Fortunately, El Chapuzas Informatico managed to get ahold of two datasheets from Sapphire that highlight features and use cases of its GPRO X080 and GPRO X060 mining graphics cards, primarily targeting Ethereum coin mining.

According to the source, the company has readied two models based on RDNA2 chipsets. That is GPRO X080 SKU based on Navi 22 with 2304 Streaming Processors, running at 2132 MHz frequency. Paired with Navi 22 GPU, 10 GB of GDDR6 memory runs at 16 Gbps speed on a 160-bit bus. This model has no display outputs, and the only connector is a PCIe 4.0 x16 slot that connects the GPU to the motherboard. Running at the default 165 Watt, TGP produces a 38.0 MH/s hash rate, while the optimized form of 41.6 MH/s reduces TGP to just 93 Watts.

Additionally, Sapphire also prepared X060 mining GPU, based on Navi 23 XL with 1792 Streaming Processors clocked at 2044 MHz. This model features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory running at 14 Gbps speeds on a 128-bit bus. Unlike the X080 model, it has a display output in the form of HDMI and DisplayPort connectors. Ethereum mining can manage a 27.8 MH/s hash rate at the default 100 Watt TGP and 29.4 MH/s at optimized 60 Watt TGP configuration. Sapphire prices the GPRO X080 and X060 GPUs at 750 and 550 Euros, respectively.
