Second last, Far Cry 3 in UHD. Though not massively high FPS, Far Cry 3 is just about playable. It’s getting on a bit and it’s DirectX 11, let’s see how the RX 480 gets on.
The Sapphire RX 480 8Gb performs poorly here, there’s no getting away from it. Far Cry 3 is an older game and we have been considering replacing with Far Cry 4. In UHD resolution it seems it can still hurt some graphics cards including the RX 480.

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.
