On a NVIDIA RTX 5070 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-12900F-class CPU), Shadow of the Tomb Raider runs at roughly 109 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 111FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The NVIDIA RTX 5070 is a high-end graphics card with 12GB of VRAM, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i9-12900F, it runs great at 1440p — about 109 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.
Across resolutions you can expect around 182 FPS at 1080p and 109 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 62 FPS at 4K. Shadow of the Tomb Raider supports ray tracing and the NVIDIA RTX 5070 can technically run it, but it's the single most expensive option here — we keep it off to hit a smooth frame rate and suggest turning it on only if you have frames to spare. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 185 | 182 |
| 1440p | 111 | 109 |
| 4K | 63 | 62 |
