  Shadow of the Tomb Raider

 

Crystal Dynamics is known make great games and Tomb Raider is one of my favorite franchises to date. Most TR games are demanding and requires a decent GPU to run. I have used both the Internal Benchmarks as well as running my own Real Time Benchmarks ™as usual.

I have used the Highest Preset in the game without Nvidia's HBAO+. That technology has caused issues in the previous Tomb Raider game and actually made the image quality worse therefore I choose to avoid it. I'm not sure if it makes the image quality better or worse in this game, but I honestly don't care. I'd rather not take the performance hit using Nvidia Gameworks. For this benchmark I played the first level in the game where you actually take control of Lara.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider - All Real Time Benchmarks


 

 

Internal Benchmark Tool

The game performs very well at 1080p and 1440p with the highest preset. 4K really pushses the card to its limits which is expected from a Tomb Raider game. Obviously I can lower the preset and get more FPS, but I wanted to show what the Fury X is still cable of across the board. Plus I benchmarked tons of games and can't focus solely on Tomb Raider :)

 

Hitman 2

 

I ran all of the benchmarks using DX11 since DX12 was giving me a few issues. All of the settings were set to their highest possible levels except Dynamic Sharpening whch was disabled.

Hitman 2 - All Real Time Benchmarks


 


Internal Benchmark Tool

 

 

The in-game benchmark in Hitman games always extremely have high max FPS and insanely low FPS. Maxing out the game at 4K is playable during actual gameplay, but during loading areas you might encounter some micro-stutter for split second. Lowering a few settings makes the game run much smoother at 4K. 1440p with 100% max settings is the sweet spot as usual. In games such as Hitman I prefer to lower a few settings and play in 4K. With max graphic settings @ 4K the game runs really well in my opinion and I was actually surprised at the 4K performance with all of the NPCs on screen.
