Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is a third-person open world video game, where the player controls a ranger by the name of Talion who seeks revenge on the forces of Sauron after his family, including his wife, are killed. Players can travel across locations in the game through parkour, riding monsters, or accessing Forge Towers, which serve as fast travel points.
We test at 1440p with the image quality settings at Ultra.
At 1440p the Sapphire RX 470 Nitro+ OC delivers playable frame rates, although some gamers will want to reduce image quality a little to increase minimum frame rates. That said, performance is very closely matched against the Palit GTX970.
