Shadow of the Tomb Raider is a 2018 action-adventure video game developed by Eidos-Montréal and published by Square Enix's European subsidiary. It continues the narrative from the 2015 game Rise of the Tomb Raider and is the twelfth mainline entry in the Tomb Raider series, as well as the third and final entry of the Survivor trilogy. The game was originally released worldwide for PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One. (Wikipedia).

Engine: Foundation Engine. We test using the Highest preset, RT Ultra Shadows, DXR API. DLSS/FSR are disabled.

Finally, we finish up with Shadow of the Tomb Raider. I deliberately include this game as it's a bit older and only features a single RT effect – being ray traced shadows – so performance is better than what we see from most other RT games. Even then, AMD just can't match Nvidia for ray traced performance, with the 7600 XT still 17% slower than the 4060 at 1080p.
