Low Vs Ultra Radeon RX 480 4GB Performance Review

Playing Half-Life 3 on the Radeon RX 480 4GB, which is a 5 year old graphics card will likely end with a bearable 41 FPS. And those results are assuming a 1920x1080 screen resolution at High setting level.

Turn this on to high graphics settings and you would get a reliable 32 FPS in 1440p screen res.

To summarise, you may be toying with the idea that a 1440p resolution could be achieved with this Radeon RX 480 4GB graphics card, but in so doing you would have to drop the graphics settings to pretty Low according to our assessment. But let the Half-Life 3 frame rate numbers decide and guide. 1080p Medium 61 FPS, 1080p High setting: 41 FPS, 1080p Ultra setting: 30 FPS, 1440p Low setting: 59 FPS, 1440p Medium setting: 47 FPS. Our Low vs Ultra analysis tells us that you would be better placed running this at 1080p, but at least you could still tinker with graphics settings for 1440p to perhaps be passable?
