MSI R9 280 Gaming v PNY GTX760 XLR8 – £185 shootout

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.

We use the ULTIMATE profile at 1080p and 1600p, as shown above. We want the best image quality possible.

A very demanding game at these image quality settings and again the MSI R9 280 Gaming maintains playable frame rates at both resolutions. The PNY GTX760 XLR8 struggles to maintain playable frame rates at 1600p.
