PCSpecialist Defiance III 17.3 Laptop (w/ GTX 1060)

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. (Wikipedia).

We test using the ‘ultimate' preset at 1920×1080.

In our first game, the Defiance III just pips the Asus GX700, with its average frame rate score being just 3fps ahead. However, the Defiance costs £2250 less, and performs better (in this test, at least) – which certainly bodes well for the other games on test today.Taken in isolation, both sets of frame rates are excellent, too.
