Here we test Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition, with the in-game ray tracing effects set to Ultra. DLSS/FSR are disabled.

Likewise, Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition is extremely performant with the RTX 4080, despite the vast amounts of ray tracing being done. At 1440p, the 4080 delivers over 135FPS and is clearly faster than the RTX 3090 Ti, with a 22% advantage.

It is still a good chunk slower than than the RTX 4090 though, with a 27% performance deficit at 4K. You will still get over 70FPS on average, so that's another 20% ahead of the 3090 Ti.
