Introduction

Today I’m taking a look at Sapphire’s Vapor X card. A custom PCB with high quality components such as the second generation Black Diamond chokes makes for what should be a great performing and highly overclockable card. The custom Vapor-X cooler has been designed to provide not only cooler temperatures but also much less noise compared to the reference design cooler. Let’s begin!

The bundle includes:

• CD driver
• Installation guide
• Two Molex to 6 pin adaptors

Not a bad bundle for a card. The adaptors and HDMI cables are useful features to include and the Dirt 3 coupon is also a very welcome gift.
