AIDA64 Engineer results are first, and we start with our usual AIDA64 memory test. Memory Read and Write are on par with anything there, but the Memory Copy comes in last place. Having only 2Gb of GDDR5 memory at 5.6Ghz will be the main cause, though it is not too far behind the MSI GTX 970 GAMING Twin Frozr V and its 4Gb of VRAM. (cough cough)

FLOPS next, and the Sapphire ITX Radeon R9 380 is where you would expect it, trailing behind the MSI GTX 970 GAMING Twin Frozr V and in last place for the Single-Precision results, though nudging further up the charts in the Double-Precision results.

With some truly superb gaming performance on a small form factor layout, you need to look at this card for your next build or upgrade. The R9 Nano is out there too, but it's about three times the cost, and we don't think you'll want to spend that on one component of an ITX build. The Sapphire ITX Compact Radeon R9 380 will play a lot of your games in 1080p, maybe with some of the visual toys turned off, and sometimes not. We would be lying if we did not recommend this.
