Metro: Last Light takes place one year after the events of Metro 2033, proceeding from the ending where Artyom chose to call down the missile strike on the Dark Ones. The Rangers have since occupied the D6 military facility, with Artyom having become an official member of the group. Khan, the nomad mystic, arrives at D6 to inform Artyom and the Rangers that a single Dark One survived the missile strike.
4A Games’ proprietary 4A Engine is capable of rendering breathtaking vistas, such as those showing the ruined remnants of Moscow, as well as immersive indoor areas that play with light and shadow, creating hauntingly beautiful scenes akin to those from modern-day photos of Pripyat’s abandoned factories and schools.
We tested this particular game with the extremely demanding built in benchmark. Settings detailed above. Direct X 11 mode, Quality is set at High, 16 AF, normal Motion blur, Tessellation Normal, Advanced PhysX disabled and SSAA disabled.
A very demanding engine at 4k, and one that really needs Sli or Crossfire to run smoother at these incredibly high settings.
It’s a great card for performance and some light future-proofing… At the cost of about $700 and tax… that is hard money to justify, unless you know you will not regret it. Again, the price is probably the only ‘con’ but at the same time, it is difficult to justify the high price as a con, when this is a company’s flagship device we are talking about. If anything, I am just glad it didn’t start at a price much closer to the Titan (for how it performs, compared to the GTX 780)… that is just $300 dollars way north of the 780 Ti (or $600 if its SLI).
Hard to go wrong with one of these.
