Shadow of the Tomb Raider is an action-adventure video game developed by Eidos Montréal in conjunction with Crystal Dynamics and published by Square Enix. It continues the narrative from the 2013 game Tomb Raider and its sequel Rise of the Tomb Raider, and is the twelfth mainline entry in the Tomb Raider series. The game released worldwide on 14 September 2018 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. (Wikipedia).

We test using the Highest preset, with AA disabled. We test using the DX12 API.

 

Rounding off our game tests, Shadow of the Tomb Raider again has the 2070 performing smack-bang in the middle of the GTX 1080 and 1080 Ti cards. It's about 6FPS faster than the GTX 1080 at 1440p, but close to 10FPS slower than the 1080 Ti at the same resolution.
