MSI GTX 980 Ti Lightning 6GB Review

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 1440

Tomb raider 4k
At 1440p the frame rate never drops below 80 frames per second and as expected, the real world gaming experience is sublime. At Ultra HD 4k the game still runs well, holding above 40 frames per second at all times and maintaining an average around 52. A simple tweak to the image quality settings would increase engine performance to hold 60fps at all times – even at 4k. Impressive.

  2. Hey, what boost clock does this card have without overclocking?

  3. did it not win an award from you?

  4. Sorry I’m dumb. So it does 🙂
