Tomb Raider - Rise of the Raider PC

Actually thinking I'm running out of RAM. Have 8GB on the machine I'm playing on and it's now sitting at 6.6gb used just on this game alone.

Man this game is a killer on the old system. Rocking a 980GTX and while it's smooth enough on 1080p, I'd hate to think what it does when I try and push it to 1440p or 4k.

At the "point of no return" now, some unrealistic feats of climbing by Lara so far, enjoyable nonetheless

The shotgun is mighty with the heavier ammo.

Played through at 1440p here most things on the highest setting and stayed around 40/60fps very playable.

40fps isn't playable imo but each to their own

Like most other games, I find locking FPS to 59 (I use a 60HZ monitor) with vsync on helps smooth things out a bit

Who said it stayed at 40fps

most the time it's high 40s low 50fps in open space and mostly close to 60fps in tombs or closed places.

Freesync probably helps smooth out my frame rate though.

Just use triple buffered V-sync.

Double buffering is crap.

Did everyone see the secret cutscene at the end of the credits? Did you have to watch all the credits to get to it?

I skipped the credits and next day I loaded up save I still got to see it.

Right completed the main story tonight with STEAM saying it's taken me 24hrs with a 75% total. I've watched the end credits segment which was interesting and am now sprawling back to collect everything I'd missed inc a couple more tombs.

What a game.

Looking forward to doing those challenges now too with the myriad of cards I have now with some cool perks.

What a game!

This game has cost me less than £1 per hour of gameplay for the main story, and now I will probably take another 24hrs spread out over coming weeks to explore and find all the missing loot and have fun in challenges. Game cost me what £22? Amazing value for money.

100% completed really enjoyed this Tomb Raider.. my only downside to this game was the AI was easy I completed it on second to highest setting and they wasn't any challenge at all. The other minus is the challenges around the levels like shoot 10 laptops etc they just become a pain.

Man only needing 1080p sure helps FPS

Decided to play this one on my projector rather than at 1440p. Everything maxed and so far it's running at 60fps solid. Looks superb too!

must say just got this yesterday one of best looking games i have ever seen . very impressed :cool:

got this screenshot just now

that booby look

also few nice close ups

This game looks good on all but the very lowest settings

regulus · 17 Feb 2016 at 17:37

I'm convinced that 'High' textures looks better than 'Very high'. Saw the same thing in Farcry 4.

Anyway, very nice looking game and really enjoyable so far.

100/100 in 28 hours. (Even done the witch DLC)

Wasn't bad but felt tedious at the end. Looking forward to the 3rd installment but they should go easy on the collectibles.

Nexus18 · 17 Feb 2016 at 20:46

Completed, good game overall, very similar to the first in every way just with a few additions, a bit more open with regards to tombs etc. though. I hope they change it up a fair bit more for the 3rd one.

Unless the DX 12 patch adds something special and fixes the abysmal performance and stability, I can't see myself playing it again or bothering to get to 100% completion (think I finished with 82%).
