Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming Video Card Review

Tomb Raider is one of the oldest game franchises that has spawned numerous sequels and even spilled over to the silver screen.  The latest version takes advantage of some of the latest technologies such as Tessellation, Tressfx and FXAA.  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 in-game benchmark for this test and found the results to be very consistent across resolutions and hardware.  A bit of a surprise to see the results in this game compare to our synthetic benchmarks more than the other games.
