Review: AMD Sapphire Tri-X R9 290

October 6, 2014 by Christopher Kysse

Gameranx takes the AMD Sapphire Tri-X R9 290 graphics card out for a spin.

Benchmarks – Battlefield 4

Settings: DirectX 11, Mantle, Texture Quality (Ultra), Texture Filtering (Ultra), Lighting Quality (Ultra), Effects Quality (Ultra), Post Process Quality (Ultra), Terrain Quality (Ultra), Terrain Decoration (Ultra), AA Deferred (4x MSAA On/Off), AA Post (High), Ambient Occlusion (HBAO)

Battlefield 4 is another Mantle-equipped game, though sadly Fraps was unable to capture readings for it. The results were similar to Thief’s Mantle demonstrations, however, climbing at least 10 to 15 frames higher than DirectX 11.
