Seems the fabled AMD driver improvements over time is happening faster than normal. AMD released new RotTR drivers today and in their review Hexus benched the game with them for their Nitro 4GB and 8GB review.
Nearly 20fps increase over the reference 480 at 1080p. What's surprising is the Nitro beats even the Fury X now in this game
It seems like the 480 is using the latest driver while the other AMD cards are using older drivers.
Why are the Sapphire cards almost 20fps faster at 1080p than the reference RX 480? The release notes of the Crimson 16.7.3 driver show there's a performance uplift compared to older drivers, but we didn't expect this much.
Although, according to this post, it seems the Fury X gains 8% but is still slower than 480. As a Fury owner, that makes me kinda mad considering the specs.
