Metro 2033 is a first-person shooter video game with survival horror elements, based on the novel Metro 2033 by Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky. The game 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.
We used the game's built-in benchmark set to ‘Very High' quality to offer an intense challenge for the gaming hardware while also making playable frame rates a possibility.
Similar gaming performance is observed from the Metro 2033 benchmark. As is the case with the other PEX8747-equipped motherboards, Asus' Maximus VI Extreme struggled to match the graphics performance of Gigabyte's simplistic Z87-D3HP.
