Shadow of the Tomb Raider

We use the DirectX 12 mode, anti-aliasing disabled, and the Highest quality preset.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider performs well on Zen 3 and has the six-core 5600X smashing the performance numbers of its Zen 2 and 10600K competitors. AMD’s cheapest Zen 3 offering is actually competitive versus the 10700K here.

At 1440p, we see the same performance trend with the Ryzen 5 5600X being much faster than the 10600K, 3600XT, and 3700X.
