The Hong Kong maker that has been AMD's primary Radeon add-in board partner since 2001.
Founded in 2001 and all but synonymous with Radeon on the consumer side — Sapphire makes essentially no Nvidia cards. Nitro+, Pulse and Toxic are the house lines, ranked by cooling and clock speed. A board partner committing to a single GPU vendor is unusual; most hop between camps chasing margin. It sits on the opposite side of the same market from Zotac's Nvidia-only focus.
