Metro: Last Light

Metro: Last Light (DirectX 11)


 

Beneath the ruins of post-apocalyptic Moscow, in the tunnels of the Metro, the remnants of mankind are besieged by deadly threats from outside – and within.

Mutants stalk the catacombs beneath the desolate surface, and hunt amidst the poisoned skies above. But rather than stand united, the station-cities of the Metro are locked in a struggle for the ultimate power, a doomsday device from the military vaults of D6. A civil war is stirring that could wipe humanity from the face of the earth forever.

As Artyom, burdened by guilt but driven by hope, you hold the key to our survival – the last light in our darkest hour…

Our Settings for Metro: Last Light

Metro: Last Light at very high image quality settings continues to pound on GPU hardware in a way that few other titles can. At 2560×1440 the average frame rate of the R9 295X2 is just slight above that of the two GeForce GTX 780 Ti cards. But in terms of the better frame variance, NVIDIA takes the lead here with its SLI implementation.

 

When tested at 4K the performance advantage provided by the R9 295X2 is a lengthened to 11% or so over the 780 Ti cards. NVIDIA maintains a small advantage in frame delivery and smoothness but even for the dual-GPU AMD card we are below a 3ms variance until the 90th percentile of frames. AMD is delivering a completely competent solution for Metro: Last Light.
