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

Synthetics

As always we’ll also take a quick look at synthetic performance. Since the R9 380X is just a fully enabled Tonga part, we shouldn’t see much of a change outside of the additional texturing resources.

And indeed that’s exactly what we find. The R9 380X doesn’t show a significant change in tessellation or pixel throughput performance. However texel throughput is improved by 14%, exactly what we’d expect for an increase from 28 CUs to 32 CUs.
