The AMD Radeon R9 380X Review, Feat. ASUS STRIX

The Talos Principle

Croteam’s first person puzzle and exploration game The Talos Principle may not involve much action, but the game’s lush environments still put even fast video cards to good use. Coupled with the use of 4x MSAA at Ultra quality, and even a tranquil puzzle game like Talos can make a good case for more powerful video cards.

As of late AMD cards have been doing rather well on The Talos Principle, and the R9 380X is no exception. At 1080p AMD’s latest card is ahead by 20%, keeping the average framerate above 60fps. On the other hand the gains versus the R9 380 are more limited; the additional CUs only buy the 380X another 6% in performance.
