- Whole new look and interface

- Nitro Glow - customizable RGB LED lighting system contains a set of five different mode (only enable in the SKUs equipped RGB LED lighting system : Sapphire Nitro+ RX 480/470series)

- Fan Check function- check the cooler’s status and contact customer support in case of problems (only enable in the SKUs equipped Fan Quick Connect system: Sapphire Nitro+ RX 480/470 , Sapphire Nitro RX460 series)

- Set up 5 set of profile to be of (fan curve / GPU,memory clock/ voltage), and name it as their wish

 

 

Sapphire has just released their TriXX 6.0.0 software as an open beta. Among other things, this brings support for RX 480, 470 and 460 GPU monitoring and overclocking, a whole new UI, the ability to adjust the fan speeds and RGB LEDs of Sapphire's AIB RX 4xx GPUs and "Fan Check" which can assess whether your card's fans are operating correctly.

 

Personally I've been waiting to adjust the fan curve and RGB LED of my RX 480 NITRO for a while, so I'm glad it's finally released. What do you think? Will Sapphire owners be downloading this?

 

(this is my first time posting a news item, am I doing this right?)

I hope this lets me overvolt higher on my 470 platinum, want to see how far I can push it on my EKWB.

I rolled back right after seeing it. The fan curves got all messed up as well when going back to the old version.

Well that is one disgusting looking UI.

I know that not everyone likes the same look, but I'm pretty sure most of tech fans won't like that. It simply looks ugly.

Is it buggy, or do you just not like the look?

I tried to set my fan curve (that is all I use it for) since it slammed it to 100% and that seemed to work after giving me a few errors at first; I'm guessing it wasn't compatible with the way it was set in the previous version and after setting it again it seemed fine. If you don't need the features it adds then i would stick to the older V5.2.1 since it has a lot cleaner and easier to use UI.

Its beyond me why hardware manufacturers like to gamify their software UI. 

What I struggle to understand is how they managed to go from this UI look in the last version:

To the one I posted above...

Why is Sapphire obsessed with curvy GUIs? They're all fucking horrible, the only reason I use them is because of the +200mV limit. HIS iTurbo does +400mV but this looks better.

Oh look, another "Racy-Gamer" look software.

Just use AMD control panel. Looks nice, clean, and is understandable.

[Misanthrope]

Yeah neat, Afterburner still works good enough whatever. Listen up Sapphire bitwits: enough with the Nitro BS. Bring back the looks of the Tri X and Vapour X cards, k?

I'd be inclined to agree with you.

I only wanted it to change my LED colour and to set a fan curve. Perhaps I'll just use the hardware button to turn the LED off and use MSI Afterburner to set a fan curve once it gets an update to support the 400 series. AMD Wattman is temperamental for me, sometimes gives me "Radeon Settings Host Application has stopped responding"

[ForsakenLive]

That's one UGLY UI

It's truly bad.

[Doobeedoo]

Yeah, that UI it just needs to, go away.

I'd love to use Afterburner, but it hasn't been updated to support the RX 4xx series yet.

 

Eventually I think I'll uninstall TriXX and just use Afterburner - the UI is pretty awful, I prefer the LED off and I prefer Afterburner for the other stuff (fan control and monitoring).

Great, now I can't unsee it and whenever I look at it I can only ever see a scuba mask
