Tomb Raider received much acclaim from critics, who praised the graphics, the gameplay and Camilla Luddington’s performance as Lara with many critics agreeing that the game is a solid and much needed reboot of the franchise. Much criticism went to the addition of the multiplayer which many felt was unnecessary. Tomb Raider went on to sell one million copies in forty-eight hours of its release, and has sold 3.4 million copies worldwide so far. (Wikipedia).

We test using the Ultimate quality profile for both resolutions. The in-game benchmark is used.

Tomb raider performance for the R9 390X STRIX DC3 OC is about equal to that of Asus' factory-overclocked GTX 980.

The R9 390X is able to average more than 60 FPS at 1440P, however the frame rates look a lot less comfortable at 4K.
