Sapphire RX 470 Nitro + OC 4GB Review

Ashes of the Singularity is a real-time strategy game set in the future where descendants of humans (called Post- Humans) and a powerful artificial intelligence (called the Substrate) fight a war for control of a resource known as Turinium.

Players will engage in massive-scale land/air battles by commanding entire armies of their own design. Each game takes place on one area of a planet, with each player starting with a home base (known as a Nexus) and a single construction unit.

We test the final retail game at 1080p resolution and with EXTREME image quality settings, shown above.

We noticed that the Sapphire RX 470 Nitro + OC was holding a very high clock speed at all times, which actually gave it a slight edge (less than a single frame per second) over the reference RX 480. It was rare however to see this card outperform the reference RX 480. It just goes to show what a great cooling solution (against a rubbish one fitted to the reference RX 480) can do for performance.
