Before we get onto the gaming results we have 3DMark Professional. The results are better than expected you’ll need to agree, the Sapphire ITX R380 comes in last for all tests but makes a good go of it.
Gaming next, and Battlefield 4 up first. Battlefield 4 has a matured graphics engine and it is not really phased by any drivers or graphics cards, it should maximize your hardware and set you up for lots of online killing!
Battlefield 4 absolutely hammered the Sapphire ITX R380 which was a bit of a surprise. Battlefield 4 usually runs well, with over 200 FPS for the high end cards, the Sapphire ITX R380 possibly couldn’t handle the “Ultra” video preset.

With some truly superb gaming performance on a small form factor layout, you need to look at this card for your next build or upgrade. The R9 Nano is out there too, but it's about three times the cost, and we don't think you'll want to spend that on one component of an ITX build. The Sapphire ITX Compact Radeon R9 380 will play a lot of your games in 1080p, maybe with some of the visual toys turned off, and sometimes not. We would be lying if we did not recommend this.
