Shadow of the Tomb Raider

Lara Croft returns in an epic adventure that takes you through Mesoamerica to the lost city of Paititi. In Shadow of the Tomb Raider you can expect mesmerising landscapes to traverse, plenty of weapons to master, and a stealth gaming experience that fans know and love.

RTX 3080 is so quick that Shadow of the Tomb Raider throws up a quirk in the full-HD benchmark, where the minimum GPU framerate is reported as higher than the game average. RTX 3080 is quite clearly overkill at 1080p, but it bodes well for an ultra-high-refresh panel with a 1440p resolution. A lot of noise has been made about 4KUHD, but given the choice, would you favour 1440p120 or 2160p60? We reckon a fair few may choose the former.
