This is the first Metro game that I'm actually really enjoying, and holy gently caress does it look nice with raytracing enabled. It's kinda what I always wanted from the Stalker games.

I really hoped but still underestimated the amount of visual immersion Raytracing adds here. The 2080Ti pushes fps on Ultra settings and RTX on at 1440p way beyond 100 fps in some segments, so the feared brutal fps loss is not happening.
Funnily the internal Ultra Benchmark with RTX on at 1440p end with like 62 fps, but ingame fps are way higher, which is good.

The postapocalyptic atmosphere is great and Metro native. The open world outdoor stuff does not collide with the „theme“.

Oh and you want to play that on a SSD.

The 1440p internal Benchmark on Extreme preset (incl. gameworks on) with RTX Ultra hammers the 2080Ti down to 48 fps.
So „can it run Crysis“ should be buried now for this Metro Exodus Benchmark.

The Ultra preset leads to ~62 fps and ingame to 80-100 fps. On a 1K Euro GPU at 2560x1440 :sludgepal:

I’m mildly ashamed to admit I just submitted an EVGA step-up to go from a 2080 to a 2080Ti.

Metro with RTX on looks incredible and seriously adds something to the visual immersion and atmosphere, and the 2080Ti allows the biggest frame push here.

Depending on the game(+ gfx engine) and resolution, you generally might get a 25-35% fps boost, so that’s a hobby and an enthusiasms invest of disposable income.
No shame there to admit imo. YOLO and enjoy :yayclod:

I am just going to get Cyberpunk 2077 for console. I imagine the new consoles will be out by then though.

And look worse than the Pc RTX on / Raytracing variants :xd:

I would think the next consoles would have raytracing? :kiddo:

Where did you get that from?

No, there's pretty much zero chance of PS5/Nextbox having useful ray tracing support. AMD doesn't have any ray tracing support right now, and even if they had, the performance impact on the 2080 Ti is immense. All I could imagine is some token feature for marketing reasons.

Lars Weinand, NVIDIAs highest rep in Germany and one of the Senior European Product Managers told last week that Sony and MS did not want to cooperate with Nvidia and AMD has no Raytracing tech for GPUs right now.
This will be entertaining because especially Metro Exodus proves that Global Illumination adds so much more realism and immersion.
Weinand felt it was a wrong business decision, of course.

Why is night time so bright? The game can do pitch black interiors but night is barely evening. Normally I dislike mods that made Skyrim pitch black but here you don't even need to use a flashlight and it's often actually harder to see things with night vision.

RTX on is the key here. Unironically.
