Method: a game's demand tier maps to a “GPU index needed for ~60 FPS at 1080p”; each GPU's relative index produces an estimate via a diminishing-returns curve, then scaled for resolution. Source: TechPowerUp GPU database (relative performance), 2026-08-29.

Rise of the Tomb Raider — House Rules

  1. Players: 4 (adjust the rule set for odd numbers)
  2. Every round or session runs on a 40-minute timer; when it expires, the current objective or score decides the round.
  3. Respawns are unlimited at checkpoints; dying costs progress to the last checkpoint only.
  4. Disputes go to the session host; a 60-second discussion cap, then a vote. Ties favor the current objective leader.
  5. These are community house rules for casual play — they replace nothing in any official rulebook.

How the Rise of the Tomb Raider FPS estimate and rules generator are computed

Each game is scored on a 0–9 demand tier from its published PC requirements (and a year/genre fallback when requirements are absent). The FPS estimate compares your selected GPU's relative-performance index against the tier's required index using a diminishing-returns curve, then scales for resolution. The rules and tournament builder is a community-style template engine: it formats your group size, match format and tiebreaks into a printable sheet. All outputs are planning guides — verify in-game and agree house rules with your group before play.
