Sapphire R9 280X Vapor-X OC and R9 290 Vapor-X OC review

In Thief 2014 Players control Garrett, a master thief, as he intends to steal from the rich. Similar to previous games in the series, players must use stealth in order to overcome challenges, while violence is left as a minimally effective last resort.

We test at 1080p, both with Direct X rendering (Nvidia and AMD) and Mantle rendering (AMD only).

The Sapphire R9 290 Vapor-X OC performs at a similar level to the Nvidia GTX Titan Black, averaging 75 frames per second. Mantle rendering is a little better than Direct X rendering with both cards at this resolution and settings.
