Gaming: Shadow of the Tomb Raider (DX12)

The latest instalment of the Tomb Raider franchise does less rising and lurks more in the shadows with Shadow of the Tomb Raider. As expected this action-adventure follows Lara Croft which is the main protagonist of the franchise as she muscles through the Mesoamerican and South American regions looking to stop a Mayan apocalyptic she herself unleashed. Shadow of the Tomb Raider is the direct sequel to the previous Rise of the Tomb Raider and was developed by Eidos Montreal and Crystal Dynamics and was published by Square Enix which hit shelves across multiple platforms in September 2018. This title effectively closes the Lara Croft Origins story and has received critical acclaims upon its release.

The integrated Shadow of the Tomb Raider benchmark is similar to that of the previous game Rise of the Tomb Raider, which we have used in our previous benchmarking suite. The newer Shadow of the Tomb Raider uses DirectX 11 and 12, with this particular title being touted as having one of the best implementations of DirectX 12 of any game released so far.

    Ian and readers, The ASUS ROG motherboard looks great the Intel 28 cores seem like a beast to, your scores might be way better if you contact ASUS and have them help you because you sound confused on what to set in BIOS and how to run high end system correctly.

    3175X Intel’s biggest chip ever? Not really. You're missing it's predecessor from 1995 - the legendary Pentium Pro for Socket 8, which is even bigger that the Threadripper. Or maybe you're too young to remember even the Pentium II Xeon which superseded Pentium Pro in 1998.
    Ah, I miss good old days with Anand Lal Shimpi.

    I'm sure someone mentioned this already....

    Everyone is complaining so much about how expensive this processor is but I have two points to mention.
    - It's pretty much the same as Intel's top Xeon the 8180 which is a $10,000 processor.
    - AMD's processor is basically a fake, 4 processors in one (and I love AMD).
    So now a consumer can buy Intel's best Server processor for $7,000 less.

    Well, this is heavy price. Maybe fair, but availability is a madness. But taking in account LC i9--7980XE is the best here. It kills competition with speeds. On LC it can be clocked after precise regulation of voltages up to 4.8GHz and up to 4.7GHz with 128GB of 3200MHz RAM.
    I'm selling stations like that. Easy to build, easy to run, easy to cool. MBs at stock.
    That chip is just a showoff .

    AMD's "EPYC" is gonna cause Intel a epic fail
