Sapphire RX 470 OC Graphics Card Review

Doom
Benchmarking Doom can be a challenge and there are wild frame-rate fluctuations. As a result, the gap between various products is more pronounced that other titles. When using the Vulkan API, the GPU upholds a smooth frame-rate and never drops below 70. This performance is similar to the GTX 970 and within very close proximity of the GTX 1060.
Even when the resolution is increased to 2560×1440, the Sapphire RX 470 OC retains a solid 59 frames-per-second average frame-rate. Annoyingly, the performance is quite weak compared to custom RX 470 cards which appear to greatly benefit from the higher boost clock.
During 4K testing, the GPU manages a 29 frames-per-second average and you should be able to reach a more fluid frame-rate with some minor changes in the options menu. Given the GPU’s 1080p focus, this is a strong result.
