Here we revisit Shadow of the Tomb Raider, this time testing with the in-game ray tracing effects set to their highest values.

Next up, Shadow of the Tomb Raider only uses ray traced shadows, and this means the performance hit is less severe for the 6900 XT. At 1080p, it delivers 109FPS with ray tracing set to Ultra, putting it 12% behind the RTX 3080.

At 1440p, it can still hold over 60FPS with those ray traced shadows, and it's still about 11% behind the RTX 3080. Compared to ray tracing disabled, we're looking at a 45% hit for the 6900 XT here.
