The Division UHD next and as stated this is actual gameplay and not the game benchmark which always gives a lower FPS performance than just raw gameplay.

The Sapphire RX 480 8Gb really struggles to get into a smooth gameplay FPS window, only managing 25 FPS maximum. The game was unplayable and we wouldn’t recommend this resolution. However, the performance is almost relative to some of the other cards and we have all the graphics settings pushed right up.

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.
