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 tested the game with the ‘normal preset' at 1920×1080.
The game wasn't perfectly playable at any of the settings, as the frame rate was running close to the minimum smooth rate of 25 fps. Overclocking the system to 4.5ghz however proved worthwhile, as the minimum frame rate increased to 24 from 21 at 3.7ghz and 23 at 4.25ghz.
