Gaming tests and gameplay videos (ext. monitor)
| Shadow of the Tomb Raider (2018) | Full HD, Medium (Check settings) | Full HD, High (Check settings) | Full HD, Highest (Check settings) |
|---|---|---|---|
| GeForce RTX 3070 [85W] | 96 fps | 96 fps | 73 fps |
| GeForce RTX 3070 [95W] | 104 fps (+8%) | 102 fps (+6%) | 81 fps (+11%) |
| GeForce RTX 3070 [130W] | 113 fps (+18%) | 110 fps (+15%) | 90 fps (+23%) |
Verdict
First of all, even the smallest GPU is absolutely fine for this game – 73 FPS on Highest preset is enough for smooth gameplay. In addition, this is an impressive score for a video card with just 85W TGP. The GeForce RTX 3070 (95W) shows even more muscle with 81 FPS on Highest. And last but not least, the 130W variant impresses us with a 90 FPS score – this is even beyond the GeForce RTX 2080 Super (150W) territory. Again, this is good because a 130W graphics solution is faster compared to a 150W ex-top dog GPU.
The good news is that if you need more frames per second, you can turn down the setting a bit to High (while keeping the visual quality at a good level) and in this situation, no matter the TGP version, all GPUs can push around 100 FPS.
