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 at Ultra HD 4k resolution with the ‘Ultra' image profile enabled. Single GPU solutions find the ‘Ultimate' image quality preset too difficult to power properly.

To get the best experience from Tomb Raider at 4K, we really do advise a GTX980 as your GPU of choice. The Asus GTX980 ROG Matrix Platinum averages 43 frames per second, which is an excellent result. If you want steady 60 frame per second rates, then two GTX980's are needed.
