On 'High' with its 25% 'Normal' RT setting the high-end PC is now able to get to near 60 fps at 4K, while the MSI 3060 Ti in the mid-range rig is happily nailing 1440p. Especially if we start to twiddle the settings knobs. With a 1440p result of 52 fps, that's getting on for being eminently playable. Step that down to 'Ultra' and our mid-range machine starts to be able to get a foothold on the performance mountain.

It's only at 1080p where our $3,000 rig is able to shade over 60 fps on average.

You can see that even on our high-end rig, with MSI's mighty RTX 3080 and AMD's Ryzen 9 5900X (opens in new tab) doing the heavy lifting, the demands that full resolution ray tracing puts on the system. So it's down to the MSI RTX 3060 Ti Ventus 2x and MSI RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio to give us a proper bead on Metro's new gaming chops. That's because our representative budget machine, the Arctic Stealth (it's white and eschews RGB), is only running an MSI GTX 1650 Super Gaming X, and with the best will in the world that's no ray tracing GPU. We've only tested Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition on the new mid-range and high-end PC Gamer test rigs (opens in new tab), that's Mellow Yellow and Hot Pink, to give them their full titles. But how does this enhanced edition perform compared with the original incarnation, and what are the best settings to tweak if you want to boost performance? The original was, which is why we still use it to test the latest GPUs.

I have not seen a dual fan MSI Vega for sale anywhere (every Vega for sale I've seen is the reference blower design).As our partner for these detailed performance analyses, MSI provided the hardware we needed to test Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition on different PC gaming hardware.Īs one of the first big names to release with ray tracing capable hardware as a minimum requirement-even though it's essentially a free upgrade for a two year-old game-Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition is going to be demanding on your hardware. As I posted in a link above, you can buy a nice dual fan MSI GTX 1080 for $520 on NewEgg right now. Especially considering their limited availability. However, as I stated, if someone already has a 60Hz 2560x1440 or one of those ultrawide monitors, then the argument for Vega gets much weaker. If someone is looking to upgrade from both a 60Hz monitor and a GPU, then it's a valid point. But regarding the Freesync argument, that's usually what is brought up in price comparisons between AMD and Nvidia. It's about matching monitor refresh rate (Hz) to FPS for smooth gameplay, not just raw FPS. The benchmarks show FPS exceeding 60FPS, meaning maximum GPU performance. Well I'm not sure I understand your point. Or are all these Freesync buyers just using 1080p? Or much lower detail levels? I'd rather stick to 60Hz and higher quality visuals. Also, the UK site is failing to retain the login credentials from the US transfer as it used to.Ģ0334667 said:It's a bit odd that people are citing the monitor cost advantage of Freesync, while article reviews are not showing games actually running at frame rates which would be relevant to that technology. When I follow the Forums link, the UK site looks different, then reverts to its more usual layout when one logs in (weird). Maybe they'll vary in steady state for boost clocks, but it kinda wrecks the purpose of their marketing names. SC for EVGA, AMP for Zotac, etc., but of course they're all 1607MHz base. One thing which is kinda nuts though, the AIB versions of the 1070 Ti are using the same branding names as they do for what are normally overclocked models, eg. Re pricing, Scan here in the UK has the Vega 56 a bit cheaper than a reference 1070 Ti, but not by much.

Not sure if it's significant, but I also see 10 Ti performance at 1440p being a bit better back in March. Chris, what is it that pummels the minimums for the 1080 Ti and Vega 64 in BF1 at 1440p? And why, when moving up to UHD, does this effect persist for the 1080 Ti but not for Vega 64?Īlso, wrt the testing of Division, and comparing to your 1080 Ti review back in March, I notice the results for the 1070 are identical at 1440p (58.7), but completely different at UHD (42.7 in March, 32.7 now) what has changed? This new test states it's using Medium detail at UHD, so was the March testing using Ultra or something? The other cards are affected in the same way.
