Metro Exodus is based on author Dmitry Glukhovsky's series of Metro novels that started with Metro 2033 back in 2005. The first installment in the series was Metro 2033, which was then followed by Metro Last Light (and later, Last Light Redux). Like other games in the series, Metro Exodus follows a post-apocalyptic story line that takes place in the former Russian Federation. The game features advanced graphics and visuals and also supports NVIDIA’s RTX and DLSS technologies.

When using the RTX preset (which enables DXR ray tracing effects and DLSS when supported) in this game, the Ampere-based GeForce RTX 30 series cards jump out to a significant lead over the Radeon RX 6700 XT at both resolutions. The 6700 XT is still able to outrun the GeForce RTX 2060 Super, though.

Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption 2 is the third entry in the Red Dead series. The game’s storyline is set in 1899 and follows outlaw Arthur Morgan of the Van der Linde gang in a fictional wild-west type setting. The game features rich, detailed graphics, which can be taxing on high-performance GPUs, when cranked up to maximum image quality.

The Radeon RX 6700 XT finishes right on top of the GeForce RTX 3070, and outpaces the GeForce RTX 2080 Super and RTX 3060 Ti in Red Dead Redemption 2 with the game running at 1440p. Conversely, with the resolution cranked up to 4K, the RTX 3070 is able to extend its lead a bit, but the 6700 XT still outguns the 2080 Super and 3060 Ti.

Gears Tactics is a turn-based tactical game spun-off of the popular Gears of War franchise. Technically, Gears Tactics is a prequel to the first game, but it was just recently released. Like Gears 5, Gears Tactics features a wide array of graphics options that can be tweaked and tuned to optimize performance on a given system.

Next up, we’ve got some benchmark scores from Far Cry New Dawn, the latest installment in the storied franchise. Like its predecessors, Far Cry New Dawn is a fast-action shooter set in an open world environment with lush visuals and high graphics fidelity. The game takes place in a fictional county in Montana, where a cult has taken over control of the area. We tested all of the graphics cards here at multiple resolutions using Ultra Quality settings to see how they handled this recently-released AAA title.

We're back to a familiar performance trend in FarCry New Dawn. Once again, the Radeon RX 6700 XT outpaces the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti at both resolutions, but the GeForce RTX 3070 ends up being a couple of percentage points faster at both resolutions.

F1 2020 is Codemaster’s latest Formula One racing simulation, and like previous version of the game, it sports impressive visuals. This latest addition to the franchise supports DirectX11 or DirectX 12, and it incorporated support for a number of AMD's FidelityFX technologies -- though we didn't enable any of them to keep the playing field level. We tested the game with its Ultra High graphics preset with TAA enabled at a couple of resolutions to see what the graphics cards could do.
