AMD Ryzen 7 9700X CPU Review

Shadow of the Tomb Raider

Experience Lara Croft’s defining moment as she becomes the Tomb Raider. In Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Lara must master a deadly jungle, overcome terrifying tombs, and persevere through her darkest hour. As she races to save the world from a Maya apocalypse, Lara will ultimately be forged into the Tomb Raider she is destined to be.

Available now on Steam.

Shadow Of The Tomb Raider is our second to last game, and being quite a CPU intensive title and again it’s all a bit of a let down. While the performance on the 9700X is good at 231 frames per second, the increase in performance just doesn’t warrant the extra cost over the 7700X giving us just 3% extra performance. Considering the 7000 series will likely start dropping in price making something like the 7700X even better value while this new CPU gets left by the wayside.
