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

It's more of the same in Metro Exodus. With ray tracing quality set to ultra, there's basically nothing to split the 3070 and the 2080 Ti. Considering the 3070 is the fractionally slower GPU in this game when RTX is off, this does mean its relative performance is a touch higher when RTX is turned on, but not by much at all.
