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, 16x Anisotropic filtering, RT Ultra Shadows. DLSS/FSR are disabled. DXR API.

Finally we take a look at a classic from 2018, Shadow of the Tomb Raider. With just RT Shadows it is not too demanding and the RX 7700 XT is good for over 90FPS at 1080p, coming in 8% slower than the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB but 24% faster than the RX 6700 XT.
