ASUS ROG STRIX GTX 1080 Gaming A8G 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 show high levels of variance between benchmark runs.

Similar performance is shown between the ASUS and Gigabyte GTX 1080s in Metro: Last Light Redux, with both cards being around 1-3 FPS faster than the GTX 1080 FE.
