[FPS Benchmarks] Shadow Of The Tomb Raider on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (165W) and RTX 3070 (140W) – the 165W GPU is 29% faster
Shadow Of The Tomb Raider is the successor of the Rise Of The Tomb Raider and just like the previous game, the newest installment has an interesting single-player story, in-game achievements, side missions, some additional DLC’s, and good graphics.
