    Rise of the Tomb Raider

    Tomb Raider is one of the oldest game franchises that has spawned numerous sequels and even spilled over to the silver screen.  In this 3rd person game you follow Laura as she navigates the hub and spoke style of gameplay that borrows elements from the Uncharted series.  We used the Prophets Tomb benchmark sequence for this test in both DX11 and DX12

    Benchmark Settings
    Preset Very High
    Texture Quality Very High
    Texture Filter Anisotropic 16x
    Anit Aliasing FXAA
    Level of Detail Very High
    Depth of Field Very High
    Tessellation On

    Almost identical performance curves this time and notice the rather large gap between 25x16 and 19x10.  Something happens between those resolutions that really impacts game performance and it could simply be how many more pixels the card has to push.

    RX 580 is the leader in this test in both DX11 and DX12 with DX12 appearking to be the faster option, given that the Red Devil comes with 8GB of memory I can see why.
