Metro Exodus is a first-person shooter video game developed by 4A Games and published by Deep Silver in 2019. It is the third instalment in the Metro video game series based on Dmitry Glukhovsky's novels, following the events of Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light. (Wikipedia).

Engine: 4A Engine. We test using the Ultra preset, but with Hairworks and Advanced PhysX turned off, DX12 API.

Moving on from one AMD-friendly game, to a title that definitely favours GeForce hardware. At 1080p in Metro Exodus, the RX 6700 XT is 14% slower than the RTX 3070, and is even a touch behind the RTX 3060 Ti. It's still delivering great frame rates, but we'd have hoped for better compared to Nvidia's cards.

The same goes for the 1440p data. Here, the 6700 XT is soundly beaten by the RTX 3070, to the tune of 15%, while it just about matches the RTX 3060 Ti, with both around the 116FPS mark. We're also looking at a 20% deficit compared to the RX 6800.
