Sapphire R9 390 Nitro 8GB Review

On May 22, 2014, a Redux version of Metro Last Light was announced. It was released on August 26, 2014 in North America and August 29, 2014 in Europe for the PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Redux adds all the DLC and graphical improvements. A compilation package, titled Metro Redux, was released at the same time which includes Last Light and 2033. (Wikipedia). We test with following settings: Quality-Very High, SSAA-off, Texture Filtering-16x, Motion Blur-Normal, Tessellation-Normal, Advanced Physx-off.

We benchmark at some of the most intensive sections of the game, causing frame rates to dip. Many sections of the game are much smoother than this – so again, this is a strictly ‘worst case scenario'.

We can note yet again that the Sapphire R9 390 Nitro 8GB when overclocked via software will outperform the Sapphire R9 390X Tri-X 8GB at the very modest ‘out of the box' settings.
