Evidently, AMD graphics cards perform much better in DirectX 12 games so you might expect it to struggle when running the Far Cry Primal benchmark. However, the Sapphire Nitro+ RX 480 OC exceeded my expectations and remained within a single frame of the GTX 980. Of course, it’s behind the MSI GTX 1060 Gaming but the difference isn’t enough to warrant a significantly enhanced experience on the NVIDIA option. As a result, both provide a fluid frame-rate even when opting for the ultra preset.

Increasing the resolution to 2560×1440 illustrates the tiny gap between numerous graphics card within a similar performance range. Rather impressively, the Sapphire Nitro+ RX 480 OC matches the GTX 980 and is only two frames behind the more expensive aftermarket NVIDIA GPU.

As you can see, attaining a playable frame-rate when utilising a 4K monitor is very challenging. On the other hand, 60 frames-per-second is achievable if you can make some important concessions in the options menu.
