Continuing on the steps of Hitman Absolution and Sleeping Dogs, Square Enix is once again promoting a very strong PC port for Tomb Raider. They have revealed the PC requirements for the game.

They have supported the PC version pretty well with high tessellation, shadow quality and many other features you can find below. The game will also be taking advantage of Steamworks for saves and other features.
