4 Apr 2021 - Graphics card reviewed

This computer hardware provides top end graphics. The Radeon RX 480X 4GB will easily meet recommended system requirements of games released today. This is a strong benchmarker on modern games and can often return excellent frame rates at high and ultra 1080p. But the Radeon RX 480X 4GB can also run 1440p pc system requirements. This card meets game requirements up to DirectX 12.

What FPS performance can the Radeon RX 480X 4GB get on latest AAA 2021 games? In particular our game review looks at the FPS achieved running on Ultra graphics settings on the 1080p screen resolution as well as 1440p and 4K. We look at 1000 of the most demanding games available today and this GPU is better than the recommended graphics requirement of more than 760 games in the list.

Running at 1080p this card gets a playable frame rate from Outriders with 42 FPS on Ultra. Then we take a look at Valheim which returns a reasonable 57 FPS. Another title that we looked at is the popular Far Cry 6 which we predict will get a playable 37 FPS.

Moving screen sizes up to 1440p we ran Outriders on the Radeon RX 480X 4GB to see that it got a playable set of frame rates. Here are the low to ultra results at 1440p - L: 85FPS, M: 67FPS, H: 45FPS, U: 32FPS. Another popular game to test at 1440p with this card was Valheim which seemed playable in performance netting an Ultra FPS of 43 FPS. Finally we then took a look at Far Cry 6 where its predicted Ultra 1440p Frame rates were playable at 28 FPS. Looking at a few of these 1440p results for the Radeon RX 480X 4GB we get the impression that it is a perfectly suitable selection of hardware for theis larger screen size. If a game at 1440p struggles a bit or experiences a frame drop then you can tweak settings in game to help get it stable. This might mean lowering it to medium or low in some specific options.
