Sapphire Nitro R9 Fury OC+ 4GB 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 can freely roam the open world. Composed of the San Andreas open countryside area and the fictional city of Los Santos, the world of Grand Theft Auto V is much larger in area than earlier entries in the series.

The world may be fully explored from the beginning of the game without restrictions, although story progress unlocks more gameplay content. (Wikipedia).

We maximised every slider – FXAA was enabled, although we left all other Anti Aliasing settings disabled – based on reader feedback from previous reviews. ‘Ignore Suggested Limits’ was turned ‘ON’.

We found some intensive sections of the Grand Theft Auto 5 world and tested each card multiple times to confirm accuracy. The game demanded around 3.5GB of GPU memory at 1440p and just over 4GB at 4K.

At Ultra HD 4K these settings prove too much for any single GPU. Still when overclocked the frame rate holds steady between 30-37 fps which for some people would be enough. A reduction in image quality settings, or adding another card would improve engine performance dramatically at 4k. The Sapphire Nitro R9 Fury OC is faster than the overclocked GTX980 Strix however.
