Metro Exodus is a first-person shooter video game developed by 4A Games and published by Deep Silver. An enhanced version of the game was released for Windows on 6 May 2021, and later for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on 18 June 2021. (Wikipedia).

Engine: 4A Engine. We test using Ultra quality, Ultra ray tracing, ray traced reflections. HairWorks and Advanced PhysX are disabled. DXR API. DLSS/FSR are disabled.

Lastly, we finish up with a look at Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition. Despite a large amount of ray tracing, this game is still very performant, with the 4070 hitting over 120FPS at 1440p, where it's within 2% of the 3080 and is within 8% of the RX 7900 XT.

Even at 1440p we see a frame rate north of 87FPS, with the 4070 now just 5% slower than the 7900 XT – although its 1% lows aren't quite so smooth. Versus the 3070 Ti, we're looking at a 22% margin of victory for the Ada GPU.
