Metro Exodus v. 1.0.1.1: PC Performance Benchmarks for Graphics Cards and Processors
| BASIC INFORMATION ON THE GAME |
Patch release date : February 21, 2019
In this review, we present you a test of the game Metro Exodus version 1.0.1.1 with the latest versions of the current drivers. The test was performed on minimum, medium, high, ultra, extreme and RTX graphics quality settings in DirectX 12 mode.
| PATCH INFO |
The developers of Metro: Exodus have released a patch for the PC version under the number 1.0.0.1. On Steam, it "weighs" about 1.8 gigabytes, on the Epic Store - 4 gigabytes. With the application of this patch, the game version becomes 1.0.1.1.
Among the changes are optimization for weak configurations, fixing benchmark errors, improved DLSS anti-aliasing (elimination of the blur effect), ray tracing optimization, fixing one of the special effects on DirectX 11, as well as general improvements to the game. The game also learned how to send bug reports directly to developers.
| COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT SETTINGS |
As we can see, with the increase in the quality of the settings, there is a gradual improvement in the quality of the graphics. The DLSS mode has been worked out with the latest patch more thoroughly and practically does not degrade the quality of the picture, while giving a noticeable increase in performance.

It is very strange that this mode is supported only at 3840x2160 , in this mode, the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti can provide a comfortable average FPS of almost 50-60 frames .
RTX
At ultra RTX settings, stable 60 frames at 1920x1080 will provide GEFORCE RTX 2080 Ti.
RTX+DLSS
With ultra settings DXR + DLSS stable 50-60 frames at 2560x1440 will provide GEFORCE RTX 2080 Ti. DLSS provides an impressive boost in performance, allowing you to achieve FPS similar to ray tracing turned off.
It is also worth noting that on the RTX 2060 the DLLS setting in 4K is not activated, since in this mode this video card will still be ineffective, and on the RTX 2080/2080 Ti DLSS is not activated at 1920x1080.
| VIDEO MEMORY CONSUMPTION |
Testing of the video memory consumed by the game was carried out by the MSI Afterburner program. The results on video cards from AMD and NVIDIA at resolutions of 1920x1080 and 2560x1440 with various anti-aliasing settings were taken as the indicator. By default, the graph displays the most up-to-date solutions. Other graphics cards are added and removed from the chart at the reader's request.

Testing was carried out at a resolution of 1920x1080. In the processor test, you can remove and add any positions of the processors. You can also select any tested video card from the list in the drop-down menu, comparing its performance to the given processor tests (by default, the most productive solution from NVIDIA is selected).
To display the results of the RTX + DLSS settings , you must manually switch from the RTX 2080 Ti graphics card to the RTX 2070, and in the extreme settings mode in 4K.
Ultra
When using NVIDIA video cards , FX 4300 or Core i 3 2100 processors showed an acceptable rate of at least 25 frames, and solutions of the Ryzen 3 1300X or Core i 5 2500 level can provide an average FPS of at least 60 frames .
When using AMD video cards, FX 4300 or Core i 3 2100 processors showed an acceptable rate of at least 25 frames , and Ryzen 3 1200 or Core i 3 2100 solutions can provide an average FPS of at least 60 frames .
RTX
Activating RTX technology does not affect performance much and remains almost at the level of extreme quality .
GameGPU
The game uses a maximum of 16 computing threads. For a stable frame rate, 6 threads are enough.
| RAM TEST |
The test was conducted on the base configuration of the Core i 9 9900K with 32 GB DDR4 3200 MGz pre-installed memory. All used RAM was taken as an indicator. The RAM test on the entire system was carried out on various video cards without running extraneous applications (browsers, etc.). In the graphics, you can add and remove any resolutions and video cards as desired.
