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

Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition is next, with this game straight up requiring a DXR-capable GPU to run, with every light source in the game being fully ray-traced. At 1440p, the RTX 4090 stomps through our test sequence, hitting 216 FPS, equalling a 63% uplift versus the RTX 3090 Ti.

At 4K we actually see similar scaling at 1440p, this time with a 64% advantage for the 4090 over the 3090 Ti, and it's 89% faster than the RTX 3090.
