MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X 8G RGB SLI Review

Rise of the Tomb Raider is a third-person action-adventure game that features similar gameplay found in 2013's Tomb Raider. Players control Lara Croft through various environments, battling enemies, and completing puzzle platforming sections, while using improvised weapons and gadgets in order to progress through the story. It uses a Direct X 12 capable engine.

We enable Direct X 12, Vsync is off and graphics are set to the ‘very high' profile, shown above. We test the Nvidia Titan Z with the SLi optimisation both disabled, then enabled. This is clearly marked in the graph. See more HERE.

At Ultra HD 4k the MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X 8G averages 52 frames per second, dropping to 42 frames in the more intensive sections of the environment. Gamers will ideally want a solid 60hz+ frame rate at 4k, and this is exactly what two of the cards in SLi deliver – even at this maximised image quality settings.
