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. For these ray tracing benchmarks, we present average frame rates for the game with ray traces shadows (DXR) off, and then again with ray traced shadows set to Ultra.
Playing with ray traced shadows in Shadow of the Tomb Raider is less punishing for a GPU, and the Palit averaged 70FPS at 1080p – down from 115FPS with ray tracing off. It is faster than RTX 2070 across the board, however.
