Shadow of the Tomb Raider
 |
Lara Croft is back in an epic adventure that takes you through Mesoamerica to the lost city of Paititi. In Shadow of the Tomb Raider you can expect mesmerising landscapes to traverse, plenty of weapons to master, and a stealth gaming experience like no other.
GeForce GTX 1660 again puts some benchmark pain into the RX 590/580 - its direct rivals from AMD - and EVGA's card rarely loses to them in any test. It's been approximately 30 per cent faster than the GTX 1060 6GB, too, which enables an extra layer of smoothness when taking that critical headshot.
Part of that reason is that it boosts to an average 1,965MHz in games, which is way above the 1,830MHz on the tin. Conjecturing somewhat, the obvious lack of memory bandwidth compared to GTX 1660 Ti is most likely (partly) compensated for by the tighter latencies of GDDR5.
So far, the baby TU116 GPU makes implicit sense at £200, but not so much at the EVGA's £250 mooted price point.
