Welcome to the GPU crusher of old, and that was 1080p resolutions! This will test the current GPU’s in this review to a helping of Crysis 3 at UHD resolutions, good luck everyone.
The RX 480 is again tied in performance with to the XFX R9 390X DD graphics card. Just like the R9 390X, Crysis 3 is unplayable in 4K UHD, despite the VRAM available. This is pretty relative though, so we cannot really mark the RX 480 down here, you need a Nvidia GTX 1080 to make an FPS dent here.

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.
