Since the last review, I’ve re-tested all the graphics card using Rise of the Tomb Raider’s DirectX 12 mode. This has made AMD cards more competitive and their minimum frame-rates have increased exponentially. When paired with a 1080p monitor, the Sapphire Nitro+ RX 480 OC is capable of an excellent average frame-rate. Unfortunately, it’s still some way behind the GTX 1060 which soars ahead.

The field bunches up during 1440p benchmarking and the graphics card posts pretty decent performance, especially when the price point is taken into account. Unlike the 1080p results, paying extra for a highly-rated GTX 1060 model results in fairly modest gains.

Here we can see there’s very little to choose between the tested products when trying to run the benchmark at such a high resolution. This exemplifies the fact that none of these GPUs are tailored for 4K gaming scenarios.
