Engine: Foundation Engine. We test using the Highest preset, RT Ultra Shadows, DXR API. DLSS/FSR are disabled.

As for Shadow of the Tomb Raider, performance is on par with the RX 7900 XT, with smaller generational gains on show given this title only utilises ray traced shadows. It's also 4% behind the RTX 5070 at 1440p.
