It's no surprise that Far Cry 4 will tax your PC hardware, particularly considering its predecessor. However, if you're not gaming on a high-resolution monitor, you can muster an enjoyable experience from Nvidia's sub-$100 GeForce GT 730 GDDR5 at 720p. Ev...
Abstract: AMD recently released the R9 285 with the 28nm Tonga Pro GPU, destined to serve as its mid-range enthusiast offering. The Tonga GPU is brand new and is replacing the venerable but aging Tahiti GPU. The 285 will pretty much take the standard 280's place in...

Comes with TrueAudio and FreeSync. Consistently edged out GeForce GTX 760 on the tests. Lower power rating than the GPU it replaces.
Base graphics specs are similar to those of aging AMD Radeon R9 280
The AMD Radeon R9 285 brings modern features like TrueAudio and FreeSync to AMD's midrange gaming GPU, but it's not a big improvement from the previous Radeon card or similarly priced competition....

Throughout our entire review we've been calling the Radeon R9 285 a lateral for AMD, and as we've seen in our results this is for a good reason. Despite all of the architectural and feature changes between the R9 285 and its R9 280 predecessor – everythin...
Brings TrueAudio and other modern AMD features to the $249 price point, Consistently edged out GeForce GTX 760, Lower power rating than Radeon R9 280 it replaces
Base graphics specs are similar to those of aging R9 280
AMD's $249 Radeon R9 285 delivers modern features (such as support for TrueAudio and FreeSync) found on other AMD cards, and performance that edges out Nvidia's GeForce GTX 760. But given its familiar specs, it won't significantly outpace the Radeon R9 2...

For the same price as the R9 280, the R9 285 brings a slight performance boost along with some extra features such as support for DirectX 12, the Mantle API, TrueAudio and FreeSync.
The R9 285's 256bit memory bus is downgraded from the R9 280's 384bit bus. Although it has a performance edge on the GTX 760, it costs a little more and uses a little more power.
When you look at the Radeon R9-285 overall, performance, Eyefinity features, PCIe gen 3 compatibility and all other stuff then we can only conclude that we like these cards belong in the mainstream to high-end (and certainly not enthusiast) graphics card ...
The existing Radeon R9 280 already had a slight performance edge over the GeForce GTX 760. Based on the eight games that we tested with the GTX 760 was just a few frames per second faster in two, while it was a few frames slower in the rest. Still at $240...
