Alien: Isolation next and we test this game with all components we receive, including any VR headsets that come our way and the results are always excellent. This points the finger at an excellent game code rather than just superb graphics grunt, though that helps as well.
We still have amazing FPS results with Alien: Isolation and the Sapphire RX 480, it’s just all a bit last generation. There will be no way you will have performance issues if you own a Sapphire RX 480 and play Alien: Isolation, but that can be said of the Sapphire ITX Compact Radeon R9 380.

AMD are excellent at aggressive price campaigns in general and against Nvidia, and the RX 480 is no different. It is cheaper than the R9 390X when it launched by some margin. The question remains as it did when we reviewed the XFX Radeon R9 390X 8GB DD Black Edition, should you upgrade. The answer this time is yes, for the price point, the modern revisions including FinFET 14 process technology, it’s got potential, features and value. The Nvidia GTX 1080 is just over twice the price, the RX 480 isn’t always half as fast.
