Sapphire RX 580 Nitro+ Limited Edition 8GB Review

Grand Theft Auto V is an action-adventure game played from either a first-person or third-person view. Players complete missions—linear scenarios with set objectives—to progress through the story. Outside of missions, players may freely roam the open world.

Composed of the San Andreas open countryside area and the fictional city of Los Santos, the world is much larger in area than earlier entries in the series. It may be fully explored after the game’s beginning without restriction, although story progress unlocks more gameplay content.

We use the Ultra quality settings (or the highest alternative when Ultra is unavailable), MSAA is set to 2x. The Advanced Graphics options are all set to their maximum levels. Memory usage is calculated as 3469, 3764 and 4733 at 1080, 1440p and 4K, respectively.

The Sapphire RX 580 is outpaced in GTA V by the two most popular AMD and Nvidia mid-range GPUs of recent times, the R9 390 and GTX 970. There is a bit of toing and froing at different resolutions but ultimately the overclock has only resulted in 5 to 10% extra performance for the RX 580 compared to the RX 480.
