Low Vs Ultra Radeon RX 480X 4GB Performance Review

Viewing the performance found on the 5 year old Radeon RX 480X 4GB while playing Civilization V - Spain and Inca we quickly see it can return a consistently high 200+ frame rate. And those results are assuming a 1920x1080 screen resolution at High setting level.

With such a strong 1080p performance the Radeon RX 480X 4GB overshadows the Civilization V - Spain and Inca recommended specs. Push things up to Ultra 4K and we still get 185 frames per sec. Using the graphics card release price, this is a $2.43 cost per FPS and a $1.45 per FPS at 1440p Ultra.

Crank things up is what we say. Ultra 4K is our recommended game settings for Civilization V - Spain and Inca, as long as you have 4GB of RAM or more.

To summarise, Radeon RX 480X 4GB graphics cards can smoothly run this game, but what Civilization V - Spain and Inca screen resolution would you like to run with? While you can get 185 FPS with 4K Ultra you can increase your frame rate to 200+ FPS in Ultra 1440p and up to 200+ FPS with 1080p. Pricing this on a frame per frame around the graphics cards original price it will cost $1.11 per 1080p Ultra frame. This increases to $1.45 per frame at 1440p Ultra and even more with 4K Ultra at $2.43 per frame.
