Metro Exodus
Metro Exodus, like Red Dead Redemption 2 is also a very graphically intense game. Therefore, we will show two different game settings as well. We are starting though with the “Extreme” quality settings in the game. We also have the highest tessellation setting, and HairWorks and PhysX enabled all at 1080p. The “Extreme” setting provides the highest graphics experience at 1080p sans RayTracing.
The XFX Radeon RX 5600 XT THICC II Pro provides about 37FPS and is not playable at this “Extreme” level of graphics in this game. It also appears that it performs exactly on par with the GeForce RTX 2060 in this game, producing the same performance. Since the Radeon RX 5600 XT was originally meant to compete with the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti, but is now competing with the RTX 2060 is impressive. If the RTX 2060 pricing had not changed then the Radeon RX 5600 XT would have been a really great deal.
The Radeon RX 5700 is 20% faster than the XFX Radeon RX 5600 XT THICC II Pro, showing the difference in performance there. The XFX Radeon RX 5600 XT THICC II Pro is 20% faster than the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti.
Because this game was so demanding on “Extreme” we went ahead and lowered it to “Ultra” preset to see if that is more playable. Turning the game down to “Ultra” made the game much more playable. At 50FPS the XFX Radeon RX 5600 XT THICC II Pro is now playable. The GeForce RTX 2060 takes a very small lead, but it isn’t much, they are still very similar in performance. The RX 5600 XT is 16% faster than the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti. The Radeon RX 5700 is 21% faster than the XFX Radeon RX 5600 XT THICC II Pro.
