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.
Metro 2033 seems to favour the low-cost Gigabyte motherboard. As we mentioned earlier in the review, this may be due to the fact that it doesn't feature the latency-increasing PLX controllers that the MSI and ASRock boards do.
