He did throw my parcels at me from about 10 yards away.

But that's understandable.

What we have here is a radio are known fury from a M D, launched in 2015 as a competitors to invidious GDX 9 80 this $569 or £450 high in graphics card not only gave the aforementioned 9 80 a good run for its money, but even kept the 9 80 t I on its toes at higher resolutions, though ultimately the R nine Fury X was better suited to that job with four gigs of H B M or high bandwidth memory 3584 shading units under 275.

What TDP.

This card wasn't just powerful.

It was power hungry, but you probably already knew that once I had mentioned are nine and a m.

D in the same sentence.

The version I have here, which was a mystery until it arrived with me this morning, is the sapphire Nitro three fan card.

I think all of these actually spoke to a three fan design except, of course, from the liquid called model.

These are absolutely huge cards, but really require a spacious system.

Or, you know, you could go for the R nine Nano to alleviate that issue, which I think is a little weaker performance wise.

But it does use less power, and it's more convenient if you have a smaller enclosure.

I'm testing the Arno in Fury Act in a teepee and 14 40 p today, and I've targeted 60 F.

P s is this was once a card capable of doing that with ease.

At the end, we might take a couple of games that I have looked at and then test them at four K just for a bit of fun as well.

You'll notice throughout that this sapphire version also stays fairly cool.

So despite all the heat jokes you might hear, this one only touches the mid sixties temperature wise.

It's also quite quiet.

Let's start then with thoughts of horizon, for the footage you see here is from the 10 80 p tests, but I'll put the 14 40 p results on screen as well as I talk about the performance fault.

So was playable at both 10.

80 p and 14 40 p.

With the high preset, there is an option that allows the game to optimize things as it sees fit as you play.

And I would recommend trying that before messing around with things, because it might surprise you.

It's a very inclusive game when it comes to hardware, so you're going to have a great time racing around the narrow British roads on many fields of sheep.

Next up, it's fallout for which is an older game, but it gives you an idea of how a title from the same year that this graphics card released will perform.

It's capped 2 60 FBs to avoid bugs and what not so I don't really see a reason to uncap it and that both 10 80 p and 14 40 p performance was very similar in terms of the 1% and 10.1% lows.

These figures were, of course, slightly lower at 14 40 p, which is to be expected off course.

Honestly, this game doesn't look too different at higher than it does on ultra, so that might be a good option if you want to iron out a few of those admittedly nearly non existent frame drops.

Far Cry five also gave us no issues at both 10.

80 p and 14 40 p.

I had planned on testing things at 10 a teepee with certain settings and then adjusting, said settings, in order to still achieve over 60.

But that hasn't been necessary yet, and simply switching a resolution has still given us great results.

It's also a good time to mention the price of these cards used.

I paid £115 here in the UK, which apparently was quite a good price.

It can be hard to find GPU, though, which isn't the case with Team Green's 9 80 a card that is very easy to find at a decent price.

Back to the game and at high, we were seeing no issues well, except for one minor freeze that's responsible for this 10.1% low.

But that's about it.

The rest of my time in this game was fairly issue free, so on to red dead redemption two.

Here is where we had to make a few adjustments at 14 40 p.

Firstly, though, let's talk about 10 80 p.

With the first balanced preset, we saw 63 F.

P s on average.

After running the in game bench melt test away from busy areas, the overall frame rate will increase.

But cities like San Danny or the sleepy Town Valentine will have a negative effect on the numbers.

14 40 p.

Then we had to drop the settings through the lowest preset, though I did set the textures toe ultra, which in turn meant a 58 frames per second average.

So close to 60.

But not quite so far.

60.

Hasn't bean that hard to hit?

And if 30 f p.

S is more your cup of tea, then you will have no issues at all with a card like this.

The rez e three demo wasn't too challenging, but I thought I'd throw in nonetheless, as it is, a lot of fun and ideal for lower end systems.

As you can see, both full HD and 14 40 p gave us very playable frame rates, so even 2160 p should be more than doable.

The same goes for forts are actually whether This will differ from the final game and by how much is yet to be known at the time of this video.

But I don't think it's going to be a dramatic difference by any means.

It's more likely to be next two.

Identical.

If the area layout is the same, that is, the outer Worlds ran okay as well.

There were a few frame drops represented by the horrible 20.1% lows, but 10.

80 p.

M.

14 40 p medium was okay on both resolutions meant a 60 FBs average at least that 1920 by 10 80.

The drops tended to occur when we were entering or leaving towns.

So it's nothing really major.

It just seems to happen.

Is the textures and scenery loads in?

So far, the fury still seems to be capable off 60 FBs gaming.

But let's take a quick look at pub JIA's well before messing around with four K again at both resolutions, things around fine.

There was quite a big difference between 10 80 p and 14 40 p in terms of the frame rate results, but this could be due to a number of factors, like different locations for example, Either way, 60 f ps plus is certainly possible with this card in a lot of games.

So then let's see what this card can do it for K.

To test this, I took one of the easiest games to run today.

Faults of Horizon four on one of the most intensive red dead redemption to and then adjusted the settings to a level that I feel would be the best way to play in force the horizon four first of all, at 2160 p.

Medium was the best way to go to achieve a 60 frames per second average.

I didn't run any software to determine the exact figures as admittedly this Waas on afterthought four k isn't what I'd recommend.

But it turns out it is certainly doable.

You know what?

Yes, I would recommend it with Fort, sir.

Here, If you don't mind, a slight drop in visual quality medium does still look fantastic.

And you may have noticed I am running the demo here as it was quicker to download on my terrible Internet, but it will run the same.

I tested the winter race performance, too, and while we did lose a few more frames.

It was still a very enjoyable experience, a surprising one as well.

I have mentioned before, in fact, not two minutes ago.

How well fought, Sir Horizon four is optimized, so I guess it's not that surprising.

Remember when I said that the temperature doesn't go much above 65?

Well, make that 75 that's what you can expect.

The biggest surprise, however, and an actual surprise in fact.

Waas Red Dead Redemption to at four K.

We couldn't keep the texture quality ultra as Thievy Ram Limit was exceeded.

So rather than mess about with some settings, I decided to just change it to high as that was apparently allowed.

And then I kept the rest of the game at the lowest presets.

It does still look excellent on runs with about 30 to 35 frames per second.

So you're getting better than current consul frame rates with worse looking visuals.

That is the beauty of PC gaming, though.

After all, whether you want to play it 30 frames per second is entirely up to you on dhe.

Thanks to the varied amount of settings, you can choose exactly what you want to get from this game and any other just like before.

The figure will drop as you get nearer towns, but so far, so good during the opening couple of levels.

Overall, then 10 80 p, or 14.

40 p are definitely the best way to play.

Or should I say, the most sensible way to play when it comes to running most titles on the R.

Nine Fury.

I really like this car, though.

As big and inconvenient as it is cramming it into my small, cooler master case.

It does look good and matches my motherboard, so I can't complain.

Furthermore, while the fans don't stop when the load is next, a non existent, they are totally unalterable.

I wanted to mention that quickly as well.

If you can find when it may be a good choice, just bear in mind that foot around the same price.

You can get a new GTX 16 50 super from in video, which is apparently similar in performance, according to a few people I've spoken to.

But I think I'm going to have to test that out, but there we go.

If you enjoy this video, be sure to leave a light on it down.

We'll leave a dislike if you didn't subscribe to the channel.

If you haven't done so already.

And hopefully I'll see all of you in the next one.

I'm off to play some more animal crossing on the switch.

What a fantastic game.

I just wanted to throw that in there as well.

Thank you and good night.
