Low Vs Ultra Radeon RX 480X 4GB Performance Review

Viewing the performance found on the 5 year old Radeon RX 480X 4GB while playing Dark Souls 3 we quickly see it can return a consistently high 93 frame rate. And those results are assuming a 1920x1080 screen resolution at High setting level.

Radeon RX 480X 4GB can run at 51 FPS at 1440p on Ultra graphics settings, but increasing resolution to 4K for better visuals can be achieved on Medium graphics setting, returning 63FPS. Using the GPU release price we can see the cost per frame rate on 1440p Ultra costs $8.82 compared to the Medium graphics setting at 4K costs $7.14 per FPS.

To summarise, Dark Souls 3 works very well with a Radeon RX 480X 4GB. While it can comfortably perform at 1080p we know it is best served at 1440p resolutions and could possibly go up to 4K with some settings adjustments. Are you after bigger resolution with lower graphics quality or higher graphics quality and smaller res? Because here are a few figures that could help you choose your optimum Low Vs Ultra. 1080p Ultra setting: 67 FPS, 1440p Medium setting: 105 FPS, 1440p High setting: 71 FPS, 1440p Ultra setting: 51 FPS.
