Gaming Performance
Grand Theft Auto 5
In Grand Theft Auto V, the system’s R9 380 maintains a fluid 60 frames-per-second when paired with a 1920×1080 monitor. Of course, we are using hefty settings which exceed the GPU’ 2GB memory buffer. Nevertheless, the experience is relatively smooth but increasing the resolution to 1440P results in major frame drops.
Metro Last Light
Metro Last Light’s exceptionally high texture quality means the system’s GPU falls just shy of 60 frames-per-second when using a 1080P panel. Saying that, its superb performance for the money and you should be able to reach the magical 60 figure by reducing the game’s tessellation effects. While you can reach decent frame-rates with a 1440 display, it’s going to be fairly taxing on the graphics card which is primarily designed for 1080P gaming scenarios.
Tomb Raider
Here we can see the system does fantastically well during the Tomb Raider benchmark and even allows for a smooth experience when using a 2560×1440 monitor.
Bioshock Infinite
On a similar note, the frame-rate when playing Bioshock is extremely consistent providing you stick to a 1080P display. Increasing the resolution results in some sudden frame-rate dips which detract from a flawlessly smooth experience. On the other hand, the frame-rate is impressive for a budget-friendly card and I highly doubt the sort of customer opting for a 380 will own an expensive monitor.
