Batman: Arkham Origins in UHD next, the game that looks like an AMD FPS fest’. If you want the best FPS money can buy, it looks like you need an AMD GPU to run Arkham Origins at UHD resolution without fear of low FPS.
The relative performance of the Sapphire RX 480 8Gb doesn’t shine as much as we would have expected, it’s still got some grunt to it though. We wouldn’t like the sort of slow down 10 FPS gives, but on the most part it was smooth and had no real issues.

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.
