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.

Next we come to Metro Exodus. This turns the tide back towards the RTX 3060, as at 1080p it is level with the RX 5700 XT but 12% faster than the RX 5700. Gen-on-gen, we're looking at another 21% boost versus the RTX 2060.

That GPU scaling is pretty consistent at 1440p too, as the RTX 3060 is fractionally ahead of the RX 5700 XT, while it's 8% faster than the 2060 Super.
