Sapphire R9 290X Tri-X OC 8GB Review

On May 22, 2014, a Redux version of Metro Last Light was announced. It was released on August 26, 2014 in North America and August 29, 2014 in Europe for the PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Redux adds all the DLC and graphical improvements. A compilation package, titled Metro Redux, was released at the same time which includes Last Light and 2033. (Wikipedia). We test with following settings: Quality-Very High, SSAA-off, Texture Filtering-16x, Motion Blur-Normal, Tessellation-Normal, Advanced Physx-On.
metro last light 1080p
metro 1600p
This is an extremely demanding engine however the Sapphire R9 290X Tri-X OC 8GB has the grunt to hold playable frame rates at both resolutions. The GTX980 cards are a little better at 1080p and 1600p resolutions.
