Benchmarks: Rise of the Tomb Raider, The Witcher 3

Now let's take a look at how these graphics cards compare in the latest Tomb Raider title released late last year. At 2560x1600 the GTX 1080 was 31% faster than the GTX 980 Ti and 68% faster than the GTX 980. Meanwhile it is 7x faster than the GTX 480 and almost 4x faster than the GTX 680.

Another relatively new yet extremely popular title is The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. At 2560x1600 the GTX 1080 was again 31% faster than the GTX 980 Ti with average frame rates coming out exactly the same as they were in Rise of the Tomb Raider, what are the chances?

The older GPUs did fair slightly better in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt with HairWorks disabled when compared to Rise of the Tomb Raider.
