Metro Exodus is a first-person shooter video game developed by 4A Games and published by Deep Silver in 2019. It is the third instalment in the Metro video game series based on Dmitry Glukhovsky's novels, following the events of Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light. (Wikipedia).

Engine: 4A Engine. We test using the Ultra preset, but with Hairworks and Advanced PhysX turned off, DX12 API.

Next up we come to Metro Exodus, which paints a more positive picture for the 3070 than Ghost Recon: Breakpoint. At 1440p, this new Ampere GPU outperforms the RTX 2070 by 58%, as it hits 134FPS on average. This is 3% slower than the 2080 Ti.

As we step up to 4K, the RTX 2080 Ti pulls slightly further ahead – not by a lot, but the 3070 is 5% slower. Compared to the 2070, it is still 59% faster at this resolution.
