SAPPHIRE TriXX

SAPPHIRE TriXX is a crucial software package for any owner of Sapphire Graphics cards, helping them to achieve the best performance that can be extracted from their powerful gaming hardware, monitor the stability of their graphics card, and take full control over the visual aspect of their PC gaming experience.

Presented in a very daring and eye-catching designed aimed to please lifelong gamers and tech enthusiasts who strive to extract the maximum performance from their hardware, SAPPHIRE TriXX packs a wide variety of tools aimed to take complete control over the core overclocking functions of the latest GPU cards and all the secondary sensors, monitoring tools, RGB illumination, and data listings.

Installation and Use

After the quick and simple installation, the users of SAPPHIRE TriXX will be welcomed with the futuristic and visually very daring user interface that best resembles the main dashboard display of modern cars.

The two big dial areas are focused on two most important readings of the GPU cards, their GPU core clocks, and Memory Clocks, while the rest of the window is focused on smaller sections that are dedicated for real-time monitoring or control functions such as GPU temperature showcase, overclocking dials for GPU clock, memory, voltage and fan speeds, profile saving and loading, access to card info and more.

Overclocking tools can handle the following:

• The GPU clock
• The memory clock (including the HBM overclocking on R9 FURY)
• Power Limit
• GPU Voltage
• Fan Speed (with up to 5 custom profiles)

Nitro Glow RGB control
RGB illumination on your Sapphire GPU card is controlled inside the “Nitro Glow” window that supports activation of pre-made visual presets, or the creation of new customized colors and brightness settings. If you want, there you can also tie RGB coloring with GPU temperature, fan speed, or turn it off completely.

Cooling Fan diagnostic
The final major part of the SAPPHIRETriXX application is its diagnostic system that can be activated with the “Fan Check” tool. In this mode, the app will test the true limits of your card’s cooling, pushing the fans to the maximum speed and determining the impact of the produced airflow. This test successfully calibrates your GPU to the capabilities of your current cooling setup, taking into account any possible reduction in the fan ability to move air (due to their age, or presence of dust in the fins of the cooling setup).

Fan Check is also the best way to determine if your GPU fans need to be replaced, which is a service that is sometimes covered by Sapphire’s warranty offering.
