I must say, I bought the PS3 version but might have to return it and get the PC version after watching this video.

From whatever reason, it looks like the PC version of the game is currently only available via download. It is currently on Steam for $49.99.

The PC version is very good looking, hopefully Nvidia gets a fix so the game is more stable.

Driver issue should be fixed soon. Square announced today that Nvidia was not given the final code of this game until today.

It looks like the PC patch has been released fixing the issues. Looks like I may be picking this up soon on Steam...

Per Steam:

We have just made public a new version of the PC version of Tomb Raider, build 1.0.718.4. This patch will be applied by Steam automatically when you next start the game. If your game does not update, please restart the Steam client.

This update addresses a variety of issues that we either found out about shortly before release or immediately after.

Fixes include:

- Addressed some stability and startup issues on machines that have both Intel and NVIDIA graphics hardware.
- Fix for players being unable to progress related to the boat in the beach area.
- Some fixes for crashes on startup and when selecting Options.
- Some small improvements to TressFX hair rendering.
- Fixes for various graphics glitches, including certain effects not being visible in fullscreen mode.
- Fixed a problem that caused some users to not be able to use exclusive fullscreen.
- Added support for separate mouse/gamepad inversion for aiming, as well as support for x-axis inversion.
- Fixes related to the benchmark scene and benchmark mode.
- Various other small fixes.

While we expect this patch to be an improvement for everyone. If you do have trouble with this patch and prefer to stay on the old version we made a Beta available on Steam, Build716.5, that can be used to switch back to the previous version. Please note however that you can only play multiplayer with people that share your version.

Some people are still reporting issues with crashing on Keplar based GTX 600 series cards after the update. (This is only with tessellation enabled.)

I haven't had any crashes since the update myself on my Titan which is Keplar based and "Ultimate" settings. Here are some screenshots I took in game.

I installed them earlier today and have been playing a bit and see a noticeable performance improvement.

It is most likely a combination of the drivers and the game update they pushed out last night.

This is on "Ultimate" settings at 1080p where I used to not even break 90fps and the average was high 50s http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/...34AEE29936634/
