Marketed as a reboot of the Tomb Raider series, it was released in March 2013. It is an action-adventure game with a much younger female lead character, Lara Croft. It establishes the origins of Lara Croft for a second time, putting her on an island where she much save her friends and escape while be hunted. Played in a third person perspective, survival is key, with elements of exploration and combat.
Running Tomb Raider at 19201080 resolution, with the graphics quality set to Ultimate. While TressFX Hair is a new technology developed in partnership between AMD and Crystal Dynamic, it was enabled to show the difference between the AMD cards; however this puts the GTX 560Ti at a disadvantage since it does not support this physics system.
Benchmark Results: Tomb Raider shows it has been optimized for AMD chipsets, the R7 260X came in almost 10FPS faster than the nVidia GTX 560Ti; and a bit slower than the other two video cards.
