The MMORPG from Bethesda might not be breaking any sales records, but it is a new DX11 based engine that runs nicely on a large portion of graphics cards. I did a manual runthrough outside of Bal Foyen using FRAPS to record. Settings were pushed to the Ultra preset.
The 285 seems to really like this particular title. It matches up quite well with the 760. Not sure why in this instance the 280X is slower at 1920×1200, but it comes back to parity with the 285 at 1600P. This is certainly one of the games that was quite comfortable at 1600P for the 285.

Hmm…I’d have prefered the power connector to have been at the top of the card instead of facing the back.

Has this card been out for a while?
Considering getting this or a GTX960, but I’ll probably wait until AMD announces their next run…
I think I can wait a week!

The R9 380 is going to be the r9 285. So going between the 285 and the 960 it just depends on which company you like.
So…..let me get this
So…..let me get this straight…..
No HEVC 8 and 10 bit decoding…high power consumption….
Comparable performance got GTX 960 (hardware hevc 8 + 10 bit decode, fan won’t spin for most of time due to low heat output)
Any reason to get AMD 285 ITX version for HTPC chassis alike?
GTX 960 sure is the better alternative here….
Good points!
