Why would they not instead suggest a more modern, and much more equivalent, RX 560? Even if we exclude the GTX 1050 and refer back to the GTX 660, that card too is 1.7x faster than a 7770.
If the absolute bare minimum system requirements to run this game calls for a GTX 1050, than why would the suggested equivalent from AMD be half as fast and 4 years older? The senselessness of the recommendation lies in the extreme performance difference between the two GPUs suggested. The GTX 1050 is roughly twice as fast as a Radeon HD 7770. I thought I was fairly clear on my point. The Radeon HD 7770 appears to be a carry-over from the previous title's minimum requirement despite the minimum nVidia suggestion being upgraded substantially. Their QA department(s) should have access to hardware that is not over half a decade old for their qualification testing, as evidenced by the inclusion of the GTX 1050, GTX 1060, and RX 480 in their requirements lists.

I don't know what things you see when you're reading between the lines, but I assure you with great sincerity that they are NOT being said, indirectly or otherwise. They did not directly attack anyone employed there, nor their choice of employment. ExV6K in particular did question the devs because it was stated in the article that Eidos Montreal were the ones who supplied the system requirements for publication. Use it to help, not denigrate people for NO reason.I'm curious as to how questioning a discrepancy in the minimum requirements list of a video game in any way constitutes a direct attack on the people in employment of Square Enix, Crystal Dynamics, or Eidos Montreal. My point is, use your knowledge for good. So, your point is to point out your opinion of what they do for a living is senseless.

Let us know in the comments if you plan on picking up the game early, and also what system you are going to be running this with.įordGT90ConceptThey usually list cards based on what was tested by their QA department.This is a very anticipated title that has two very well known developers attached to it.

Interesting also to note here is the use of the 6 GB version of the GTX 1060, so it may be a case of the game needing a minimum of 4 GB VRAM at 1080p under their recommended settings. As for recommended settings, Square Enix via developer Eidos-Montreal suggests a quad core CPU (Intel Haswell and newer, or AMD Ryzen R5 1600 and newer) paired with an NVIDIA GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon RX 480. Shadow of the Tomb Raider is slated to run on a system with a dual core CPU, a GeForce GTX 1050/Radeon HD 7770 equivalent and takes up 40 GB of system storage.

In the meantime, we look forward to seeing the third of the rebooted Lara Croft series that has been received positively in general- including for a good PC port, as tested by TechPowerUp before. Based on preliminary tests, this appears to have even the upcoming GeForce RTX 2080 Ti struggle to maintain a solid 60 FPS even at 1080p so time will tell how the rest of the game fares on hardware both old and new. Square Enix's upcoming game title, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, is due for public release on September 14, less than 11 days from the time of this news post, and has grabbed attention already thanks to that being the first game to be out that also promises support for NVIDIA's RTX real-time ray tracing.
