XFX HD5770 1GB Single Slot in CrossfireX Review

Metro 2033 is an action-oriented video game with a combination of survival horror, and first-person shooter elements. The game is based on the novel Metro 2033 by Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky. It was developed by 4A Games in Ukraine and released in March 2010 for the Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows.

There is some contention regarding whether the engine is based on the pre-release X-Ray engine (as claimed by Sergiy Grygorovych, the founder of GSC Game World, as well as users who have seen the 4A Engine SDK screenshots, citing visual similarities, shared resources, and technical evaluation of the pre-release 4A Engine demo conducted at the request of GSC Game World), or whether the engine is an original development (as claimed by 4A Games and Oles' Shiskovtsov in particular, who claims it would have been impractical to retrofit the X-ray engine with console support). 4A Engine features Nvidia PhysX support, enhanced AI, and a console SDK for Xbox 360. The PC version includes exclusive features such as DirectX 11 support and has been described as “a love letter to PC gamers” because of the developers' choice “to make the PC version [especially] phenomenal”.

We tested with settings on High, Advdanced DOF and Tessellation is enabled, 0AA and 16AF.

Metro is the modern day Crysis and as such proves too much to handle for a single card. image quality settings would need to be lowered dramatically to become playable. Obviously when connecting a second card the situation is improved with only a few dips under 25fps maring the overall experience.
