AMD Radeon RX 480 Graphics Card Review

Rise of the Tomb Raider

Before we get into these results, it’s important to clarify that the minimum frame-rate on AMD hardware is all over the place despite running the benchmark numerous times. Nevertheless, it’s vital to focus on the average figure to act as a better gauge of the user-experience. Rather surprisingly, the RX 480 recorded an identical frame-rate to the R9 390X and copes rather well with the extremely detailed Very High preset.

Once the resolution is increased, the RX 480 falls behind the R9 390X slightly but it’s still able to defeat the R9 390.

During 4K benchmarks, there’s very little to choose between a number of AMD graphics cards and the Very High preset poses too much of a challenge.
