If you’re interested in benchmarking your own configuration to compare to our results, you can download this file (5MB) and make sure you’re using the exact same graphics settings. ( NVIDIA) – Rise Of The Tomb Raider (incl. ( AMD) – Ashes of the Singularity ( DirectX 12) Because some games are sponsored, the list below helps oust potential bias in our testing. That’s in addition to the use of three synthetic benchmarks. In all, I use 8 different games for regular game testing, and 2 for DirectX 12 testing.

As a result, the Windows 10 installation I use is about as stock as possible, with minor modifications to suit personal preferences. In the past, I’ve tweaked the Windows OS as much as possible to rule out test variations, but over time, such optimizations have proven fruitless. For tests where Fraps use is not ideal, I use the game’s built-in test (the only option for DX12 titles right now).

Thermaltake WATER3.0 Extreme Liquid Coolerįramerate information for all tests – with the exception of certain time demos and DirectX 12 tests – are recorded with the help of Fraps. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 8GB – GeForce 368.25 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 8GB – GeForce 368.19 (Beta) NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN X 12GB – GeForce 365.22 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 4GB – GeForce 365.22 Ultimately, the only thing that matters here is the performance of the GPUs, so the more we can rule out a bottleneck, the better. While we admit that few of our readers are going to be equipped with an Intel 8-core processor clocked to 4GHz, we opt for such a build to make sure our GPU testing is as apples-to-apples as possible, with as little variation as possible.

When we need to build a test PC for performance testing, “no bottleneck” is the name of the game. It’s time to get into the meat of the review, and tackle the one thing people want to know: performance. In fact, we simply don’t have a “perfect” card to compare it to in general, but that could be soon remedied if the rumormill is to be believed, as NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 1060 is allegedly en route.Īlright, enough said. Unfortunately, we never received that card to review, and thus can’t use it for comparison. AMD Radeon SeriesĪMD says that its RX 480 has “up to” 5.8 TFLOPs of computing power, which puts it in the same position as the R9 390X.

And, given its name, and the fact that the RX 480 is $200, we can expect some attractive pricing on that card, too.Īlright, back to the RX 480. That’s a broad description, but we read it to mean that the most popular MOBAs out there, and games like CS: GO, will run smooth as butter on this Radeon.

What we can reveal now, though, is that the RX 470 is designed to power full-featured 1080p gaming, while the RX 460 is for ‘eSports’. We don’t know all of the specs of AMD’s upcoming Polaris cards, RX 470 and RX 460, but given that most GPU launches don’t start off with a bang and then dissipate immediately, we’re sure to learn a lot more about those models soon. Partner cards might offer a DVI port, but in the worst case, an adapter could be used instead (we’d anticipate that some AIBs will include one in the box). At the back of the card are three DisplayPorts and a lone HDMI. It’s clean, and gives the impression that it’s rugged (I still wouldn’t recommend throwing it). AMD’s Radeon RX 480 features a familiar reference cooler, which looks quite sharp overall.
