This article covers Sapphire NITRO+ Radeon RX 6800 XT OC SPECIAL EDITION グラフィックスボード 11304-01-20G VD7465.

Overview

The Sapphire NITRO+ Radeon RX 6800 XT OC SPECIAL EDITION (model 11304-01-20G VD7465) is a high-end graphics card powered by the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT GPU. It features an out-of-the-box overclock with a game clock of 2,110 MHz and a boost clock of 2,360 MHz, paired with 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus. The card employs three addressable RGB fans in a custom cooling solution, ensuring stable operation under heavy loads. Connectivity includes two DisplayPort outputs, one HDMI port, and a USB Type-C port for video output. This card targets mid-to-high-range gamers and creators who demand 4K gaming performance. Built on the RDNA 2 architecture with a 7nm process, it delivers strong ray tracing capabilities and improved power efficiency. As part of Sapphire's NITRO+ lineup, it emphasizes build quality and thermal performance.

Compatibility Guide

The card uses a PCI Express 4.0 x16 interface and is backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 slots. However, maximum bandwidth is achieved with PCIe 4.0. Power delivery requires two 8-pin PCIe power connectors. A power supply unit rated at 650W or higher is recommended; a quality unit with sufficient headroom is advised. Physical dimensions are approximately 310 mm (length) x 135 mm (width) x 55 mm (thickness), occupying three expansion slots. Ensure your PC case has enough clearance, especially in length and depth. The GPU uses on-board 16 GB GDDR6 memory, so system memory compatibility is irrelevant.

Product Info

Released in October 2020, the Sapphire NITRO+ Radeon RX 6800 XT OC SPECIAL EDITION has a market price around ¥112,000 JPY (as of 2026). The card includes a 2-year warranty for Japanese authorized distributors. It belongs to the high-end tier, using RDNA 2 architecture on a 7nm node with a 250W TDP. Its high factory clocks (game 2110 MHz, boost 2360 MHz) put it in direct competition with the GeForce RTX 3080.

Best Use Cases

4K AAA gaming: The high boost clock and 16 GB VRAM ensure smooth frame rates in demanding titles. It handles modern games at high or ultra settings without issue. Creative workloads: Video editing, 3D rendering, and GPU-accelerated tasks benefit from the 16.17 TFLOPS FP32 compute performance and large VRAM buffer. * Enthusiast RGB builds: The card's addressable RGB fans allow synchronization with other components for a uniform lighting theme.

Things to Consider

Power consumption is 250W TDP, so a robust PSU (650W minimum, 750W recommended) is essential. The triple-slot design and 310 mm length may not fit smaller cases—always measure GPU clearance in your chassis. While the card competes well in rasterization against GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER or RX 7800 XT, its ray tracing performance lags behind NVIDIA equivalents. With a 2020 launch, driver optimization for the latest titles is ongoing, but support for FSR3 and newer features may be limited. Consider checking driver updates before purchasing.
