Looks like another sff option coming along soon!

Are the dimension listed by Sapphire accurate? The reason I ask is because the width looks about the same as the Gigabyte 1070 mini, but the 570 is apparently 19mm smaller.

The shroud in the renders on the Sapphire website extend past the PCB at the top and rear. But the actual shroud does not.

Yeah, you're right. The bottom stylized line in the renders meets with the top of the PCI bracket and the pics @Josh | NFC posted have the top stylized line intersecting with the top of the bracket.

Its nice to see some AIB make an ITX sized AMD card with some decent grunt. I really am hoping for a Vega Nano Fury successor. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

But how much power does it use?

The stock RX570 chows down on 160-200W with transient spikes to 225W. Sapphire have knocked 25MHz off of the boost clock rate (memory is unchanged) compared to the stock 570, so that may bring things back down a little.

1060 on the left.

The RX 470 at stock clocks uses about 120-140w. You can certainly undervolt for better consumption.

Should be the same for 570 if you clock it similarly.

I still think it's a near miss for a solid radeon card with anything but a traditional sfx psu. Sure one could tune things to fit a desired power envelope but buying a gpu that fits the draw is so much easier.

That said with a decent power solution, I really like this gpu for the price and dimensions. The 1060 is such a petf/w/price card though . Tough to beat.

1060 is a very solid card. A better buy if your electricity is expensive or you have very strict thermal/power envelopes you need to meet. The AMD do offer better gaming value with free sync though.

That said... I sold my 1060 because I was tired of it crashing my chrome browser. 3 months and they haven't fix it. I'm on a RX 460 until there is a real itx AMD card (the 570 is a tad tall here).

Now that you can buy this card, I think I am allowed to share the actual photos of it. Please note I did not take these--they are from Sapphire's product photographer, so I don't know about sharing permissions.

That card would look way better if it were awkwardly balanced right at the edge of a rickety dock that looks like its going to fall apart at any second.

Seriously, you should be Sapphires product photographer.
