First up are the 1080p results followed by 1440p and then 4K.

BioShock Infinite with ultra quality settings is easily playable at 1080p and becomes CPU bound with the higher-end cards, but the result was included anyways for those that may have (or be looking at) a Radeon RX 550~560 or GeForce GTX ~1050 class graphics card, this is one of the games that is easily playable with maxing out the settings at 1080p.

For this game, the GeForce GTX 1050 and Radeon RX 550 are effectively tied for offering the best value in this configuration.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is a much more demanding game and even at low quality settings does rule out the RX 550/560 and GeForce GTX 1060. In this game, the Radeon RX 580 Polaris card is continuing to do much better than the GTX 1060 while the RX Vega 64 is coming in line with the GTX 1080.

On a performance-per-dollar basis for the cards delivering playable frame-rates, the RX 580 came in ahead of the GTX 1060 as offering the best playable value.

Or with this OpenGL Linux port of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, to play at 1080p with ultra quality settinngs you can barely squeeze by with a RX Vega 64 / GTX 1080 while the GTX 1080 Ti performs much better.

DiRT Rally is one of the racing games where you can get by at 1080p with the low-end GPUs. The RadeonSI Gallium3D driver for the AMD cards is performing incredibly well in this configuration where the RX 580 is in line now with the GTX 1070 while the RX Vega GPUs are just ahead of the GTX 1080.

The GTX 1050 and RX 560 offer the best value with current prices followed by the RX 580.
