MSI Radeon RX 480 GAMING X review - DX12: Rise of the Tomb Raider (2016)

DX12: Rise of the Tomb Raider (2016)

The game begins with a small camp at Siberia, where Lara is gazing at the huge mountains that await them. Jonah tells her that the others won't be accompanying them anymore except him. The climb soon becomes challenging, with Lara nearly falling down to her death. As Lara reaches the top, she sees the ruins of Kitezh from afar, but the storm strikes the mountain and separates the two. This particular test has the following enabled:

• DX12
• Very High quality mode
• FXAA/HBAO+ enabled
• 16x AF enabled
• Pure Hair Normal (on)
• Tessellation On

Our scores are average frame rates so you need to keep a margin in mind for lower FPS at all times. As such, we say 40 FPS in your preferred monitor resolution for this game should be your minimum, while 60 FPS (frames per second) can be considered optimal. 

** 2 days ago AMD updated their Radeon Software Crimson driver to 16.7.3 which contains specific RX 480 optimizations in Tomb raider. The charts have been updated to reflect the new driver update.
