AMD R9 290 Review (1600P, 4K and CF)

After a delayed release from late 2012 to March 2013, the game received much anticipation and hype. Tomb Raider received much acclaim from critics, who praised the graphics, the gameplay and Camilla Luddington’s performance as Lara with many critics agreeing that the game is a solid and much needed reboot of the franchise. Much criticism went to the addition of the multiplayer which many felt was unnecessary. Tomb Raider went on to sell one million copies in forty-eight hours of its release, and has sold 3.4 million copies worldwide so far.

We use the ULTIMATE profile shown above and test at 2560×1600.

The added shader power of the R9 290X allows it to pull away into top spot with the GTX780 Lightning taking up second place. The GTX Titan also outperforms the AMD R9 290 by a couple of frames per second.
