Here we revisit Metro Exodus, this time testing with the in-game ray tracing effects set to their highest values.

As for Metro Exodus, we experienced a number of crashes when using DXR in this game, but eventually we gathered the necessary data for comparison. At 1080p, the RX 6700 XT averaged 91FPS with ray tracing set to Ultra, putting it on par with the RTX 3060 and RTX 2070 Super. Compared to the RTX 3060 Ti, however, it's 20% slower.

I'd say 1440p gaming is possible here too, with the 6700 XT averaging 56FPS, though the 1% lows drop down to 40FPS. Compared to the RTX 3060 Ti however, AMD's GPU is 24% slower with ray tracing enabled.
