Architecture
Architecture	AMD original 8 GB reference baseline uses fourth-generation GCN (Polaris), 36 compute units, 32 ROPs and 144 texture units. Photo shows MSI's factory-overclocked ARMOR 8G OC, not a reference card. Later 2048SP configurations below identify specific Chinese-market Sapphire boards.	32 compute units, 64 ROPs, 128 texture units; game clock 2250 MHz; 13.3 billion transistors

Base clock
Base clock	Original AMD baseline is 1,257 MHz base and 1,340 MHz boost. Pictured MSI ARMOR 8G OC boosts to 1,366 MHz. Sapphire's 2048SP pages state core frequencies of 1,306 MHz (4 GB) and 1,284 MHz (8 GB V2) without a boost label, so numeric boost is omitted for those configurations.	–

Memory detail
Memory detail	Original stock Sapphire Pulse 8 GB SKU 11265-06 has 8,000 MHz effective memory; original stock 4 GB SKU 11265-10 and the named 2048SP boards have 7,000 MHz. AMD publishes 256 GB/s only for the 8 GB baseline; bandwidth is omitted for the others. Sapphire's original 4 GB power is only stated as less than 225 W, so its numeric power remains unpublished.	GDDR6 at up to 18 Gbps; AMD quotes up to 477 GB/s effective bandwidth with Infinity Cache

Display outputs
Display outputs	Pictured MSI ARMOR has 2 × DisplayPort, 2 × HDMI and dual-link DVI-D. Sapphire 2048SP 4 GB SKU 11265-65-18 has DVI-D only; 8 GB Pulse V2 SKU 11265-70-48 has one HDMI 2.0b, one DisplayPort 1.4 and DVI-D. AMD's reference feature table lists DVI as No; partner outputs vary.	DisplayPort up to 2.1 (depends on the card design), HDMI 2.1
Maximum resolution
Maximum resolution	MSI ARMOR specifies 7680 × 4320 and five displays; Sapphire's named 2048SP 4 GB board is limited to 1920 × 1200 at 60 Hz over DVI-D. Its 8 GB V2 board lists DisplayPort 5120 × 2880 at 60 Hz and HDMI 4096 × 2160 at 60 Hz.	–
