Shadow of the Tomb Raider benchmark with settings of Resolution: 1920 x 1080, Graphics Preset: Highest, Anti Aliasing: Off. RX 6800 XT was the fastest.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider is a native port to Linux by Feral Interactive and shows the Arc Graphics trailing significantly behind the NVIDIA and AMD competition. Hopefully the forthcoming Intel Xe DRM kernel driver and continued ANV Vulkan driver enhancements will be able to at least close some of the gap.

At least the Arc Graphics on Linux have improved a lot over the course of the year and is enabled by default in H2'2023 Linux distributions for a pleasant open-source out-of-the-box experience.

The Arc Graphics with the i915 + ANV driver stack was struggling hard with the F1 22 racing game.
