We will be updating future reviews with Far Cry 4, but for now, here’s Far Cry 3! In 1080p resolutions, this shouldn’t pose too much of a challenge for any of the cards.
We have a bit of a turnaround in performance with Far Cry 3. True, it’s getting on now, and modern GPU’s don’t really have an issue with this game engine anymore, but relative performance is good. You’ll have a good gameplay experience with the RX 480 and Far Cry 3.

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.
