Synthetic Benchmarks

To start off my testing I ran the Asus 380X Strix through all three of the 3DMark Fire Strike benchmarks to test performance in 1080p, 1440p, and 4k situations. In addition to that I also slipped in Unigine valley 1.0 for an additional look. In 3DMark it wasn’t a surprise at all that the 380X performed above the R9 380, but the 700 point gap was much closer than the 2100 point gap between the 380X and the GTX 970. That said the bump in performance over the 380 did put the 380X up over a stock GTX 780 and up close to the R7 370’s in crossfire at 1080p. Having twice the memory really helped when it came to the Ultra benchmark that runs at 4K. The Unigine Valley results were again very similar to 3DMark. The 380X pulled an additional 3FPS over the R9 380 but there is still a big gap between it and the next level of cards.
