Tomb Raider
The 2013 Tomb Raider reboot has received critical acclaim and, with the aid of Crystal Dynamics' game engine, helps bring Lara Croft to life with stunning character models and believable worlds. We run a 60-second benchmark using the Ultra-quality preset.
Tomb Raider can push the GPUs hard and it's a title that scales particularly well on multiple GPUs. Adding the second Gigabyte card sees performance jump by 93 per cent, and a further 48 per cent is made available by the third GTX 980.
The average framerate offers plenty of bragging rights, but in truth, just the two GTX 980s should suffice. The two-way pairing delivers almost every frame within 17ms, and the difference between two cards and three is practically imperceptible to the user.
