Metro Exodus Retested – More Cards, More RT, More DLSS!

1080p (Full HD), 1440p (2K), and 2160p (4K)

Unsurprisingly, the RTX 2080 Ti Lightning Z tops the charts. It’s by far the most powerful and expensive GPU we’ve ever tested, and it shows. However, even at 4K, that card didn’t hit 60 FPS at 4K. In fact, it’s the only card that came close.

I am amazed that even the Vega 56 and the RTX 2060 hit 30 FPS though, which is playable, if you’re not a foaming at the mouth 60 FPS enthusiast. Which… I’m better many of you are.

It seems then that if you’re gaming at 4K, you’re going to have to compromise on the High profile for medium, or lower. Ultra you say? Don’t waste your time, it doesn’t look much different and slaughters performance.

1440p

This is the sweet spot for this game. Stunning graphics, and at least on flagship cards, 60 FPS is attainable. The VEGA 64, GTX 1080 and RTX 2060 scored 50 FPS, which is fine with VSYNC. However, dial down a few minor graphics settings and you’ll be at 60 FPS before you can say “Artyom!”

1080p

Good old 1080p, Full-HD, 1920 x 1080, what ever you call it. It can always be trusted to be easy to run these days. Anything from a 1070 Ti up will get the job done, or a VEGA 56 if you’re an AMD fan. Even the RX580 and GTX 1060 did reasonably well, but I’d be dropping to medium graphics for those two if I were you.
