Metro Exodus Benchmark Performance, RTX & DLSS

[Al Chafai]

TPU. Please fix ur benchmarks. First Anthem and now this...how is guru3d getting 20fps lower at 4k than yours ???

fix what?
in Guru3D's results 1070 gets 40 fps @1080p lol
i always trust TPU when it comes to their HW or game analysis.

"What is worth mentioning though is that the game does look more blurry when DLSS is enabled "

Okay, it wasn't just my imagination looking at the comparison images for DLSS enabled and off, that the DLSS looked blurry. It feels like they overlay the image with motion blur on objects/background, that's not directly in your line of sight. It kind of hurts my eyes, so I'm not sure if I'd like using DLSS even if I did have a RTX card.

I also don't like the fact you can't disable Motion Blur - one of the worst graphic options (in my opinion) out there and you can't even turn it off in the options menu. I'm sure you can find a way to disable it manually, but I find tinkering with options/settings manually to get tiresome (yeah, I'm lazy at times). I'd just like to be able to adjust all settings in the settings menu and be done with it. I had to fight with options in the .ini with Fallout 4 to get it to work correctly and with me getting lazier as I get older, I don't have the patience like I used to for fighting with games to get them to function correctly.

I won't be picking up this game off EPIC's game store, so I guess my comments are kind of moot.....

Don't trust their performance numbers, they're using built-in benchmark.
steve from gamers nexus says in-game benchmark is unrealistically heavy.

Maybe they're using the in-game benchmark? I'm using actual gameplay

What settings do you use, plain Ultra preset or customized? (Hairworks, Advanced Physics etc.)

Great review again wizzard. I think its time to upgrade my 1070 to 2080 at 2k res.

pretty sure that the method u used is more realistic to what we will be using and experiencing.i don't trust that built in Benchmark just like the old Metro games used to,it's more taxing than the actual game.
good review man,

How hairyworks affects performance? Does it have reasonable level of tesselation and AA level not to make graphics cards on their knees as it was with Witcher 3.

AMD is protecting against over-tessellation in the driver since Witcher

Well I think it was after crysis 2 for Tessellation. Witcher 3 problem were more High MSAA level of the hair than excess use of tessellation. Either way Hairworks usually tanks performance in both sides.

Ahh right. Because gamegpu and guru3d have the same 50ish fps avg but tpu and oc3d got 71avg. I was just looking at graphs assuming settings were the same.

"..so is the story, which does seem a little bit linear at first"

I love linear games

When I first started looking at the pics, especially first one, I was like... RTX is way too dark .... it really started to show it's stuff in the pic with the snow. Then i went back and looked at the 1st pic and it hit me ... from a game play standpoint, I liked that I could see more (I used to turn up gamma in Diablo caves to "see more") but it immediately became apparent that given the observed light conditions, the darkness was "accurate".

 

[moproblems99]

Well, I still don't see any compelling reason to want RTX or DLSS so far. They seem like a trade-off so far. Some look better, some look worse. In any case, next generation should let us know what we are really in for. I am glad to see that performance is mostly ok with RTX thought. At least is doesn't totally kill performance.

It doesn't really matter as long comparisons are consistent. As long as you are comparing numbers from the in game benchmark, it is all relevant. As long as people don't compare in-game benchmark numbers to live gameplay numbers.

Great review as always w1zz! All the more reason for me to play this game knowing that the 2060 perform so well at Ultra with RTX on High.

Ouch somewhat poor Radeon performance.

But by the time i buy this maybe the drivers and/or patches will improve things. Either way I have just bought a Freesync 1080p monitor so even if my 570 can only do 40~ fps it should still be playable and smooth,..

What? :O Vega 56 leads 1070, and RX580 is near the 1060.

3GB 1060 beating the 8GB 580

Great review, for now it looks like RTX is more of a gimmick. Also the pics in Screenshot page are pretty varied but too bad it doesn't show which one is RTX on or off

oh I don't know about that, vega64 i have seen on sale for $330 in last few months, and it beats a gtx 1070 by 5-10 fps according to all reviews I have seen.

I have a laptop 1070 though, so maybe I am just jealous maybe at High settings with like shadows turned to normal, maybe I can hit 100 fps on my 1070 laptop which is overclocked to 100hz ^^

I think DLSS is a scam, looks blurry as crap to me. I prefer it off.

Game of the year imo

They are all RTX off

For once, glad to see it's not just a console port.

Its hard to test RTX on current gen of consoles. It will probably be hard on next gen too since we're so close to seeing the PS5 drop. the specs are most likely finalised and since it will be an AMD chip. will either not supported or if it is supported, it will be extremely limited with what it can do.

By the time the PS6 is dropping, RTX will either be completely dead due to it being nothing more than a gimmick or Nvidia would of pushed real hard to get the industry to adopt it so the technology matured.

Ive seen Gamers Nexus's video on it.

and TBF its something which I could live without and not really care a whole lot about.

AMD GPU does poorly in a new game.

AMD fans:

A. It is the reviewer's fault! He/she is biased towards Nvidia (Nvidia shill theory)
B. RTX and DLSS are gimmicks!
C. Developer took Nvidia money (Developer is Nvidia shill theory)
D. But XXX sites showed XXX GPU is way better (Accusing TPU theory)
E. I wont play this game (Ostrich strategy)

So yeah, whenever AMD does poorly in something, it is ALWAYS someone else's fault. Not the saint, savior and holy underdog AMD's fault.

Then you miss out on a great game.
