Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition 11GB Review

Just like the original game Metro 2033, Metro: Last Light is played from the perspective of Artyom, the player-character. The story takes place in post-apocalyptic Moscow, mostly inside the metro system, but occasionally missions bring the player above ground. Metro: Last Light takes place one year after the events of Metro 2033, following the canonical ending in which Artyom chose to proceed with the missile strike against the Dark Ones (this happens regardless of your actions in the first game). Redux adds all the DLC and graphical improvements.

At 1080p and 1440p, we test using a Very High quality profile with SSAA enabled and Tessellation set to Normal. At 4K we drop the quality profile down to High and disable SSAA.

Worth noting is that minimum FPS numbers for this game should be interpreted with caution as they tend to show high levels of variance between benchmark runs.

Nvidia's GTX 1080 Ti FE continues to show excellent performance in games. This time, however, it trails the Titan XP by a very minor amount at 1080P and 1440P. Thermal throttling doesn't have a huge influence on results here as the 1080 Ti's average 4K frame rate only improved to 90.7 FPS in our testing with a higher fan speed.

If you game at 1080P on a high-refresh rate monitor, GTX 1080 Ti can keep you above 120 FPS average using the same settings as we did. The magic 60FPS mark is also surpassed at both 1440P and 4K (with less demanding IQ settings). The performance increase for GTX 1080 Ti over GTX 1080 is 37% at all three resolutions. How about that for consistency?
