That’s on a 980 Ti, but a friend of mine is running an R9 280X and tells me he experiences the same issue in the same place. Turn the other direction, it shoots back up again. The biggest problems seem to occur in a locale known as the “Geothermal Valley,” a large wooded area with numerous swaying trees. Changing the settings doesn’t seem to have any effect.Īs far as I can tell, the issue resides in the aforementioned dynamic foliage. Drops from 100+ frames per second down to 40-45 are common, and are often accompanied by some distracting microstutter. Using the currently available drivers (361.43) I’ve seen some major slowdown in some of Rise of the Tomb Raider’s larger environments. Nvidia is supposed to have a Game Ready Driver prepped for launch, but I haven’t been testing on it. Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration includes the critically acclaimed Rise of the Tomb Raider, nominated for over 75 Best Of awards, in which Lara Croft becomes more than a survivor as she embarks on her first Tomb Raiding expedition to the most treacherous and remote regions of Siberia. Which brings us to our second point: drivers. And that’s important, because the 2013 Tomb Raider was used as an AMD showcase for TressFX, and up until this week I honestly thought the series was still tied to Team Red. I was testing on a GeForce GTX 980 Ti so I cranked everything to maximum, but AMD users should be aware that this is not an AMD-backed game.

First and foremost: Rise of the Tomb Raider was built in partnership with Nvidia, and I’ve no idea whether some of its technical feats are exclusive to Nvidia cards. Unfortunately-well, actually there are two unfortunatelys to discuss here.
