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.

Switch over to the RTX preset (which enables DXR ray tracing effects), and the Radeon RX 6800 and Radeon RX 6800 XT drop down a few rungs, and the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is able to overtake them. In fact, the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti just barely misses the mark set by the much more expensive Radeon RX 6900 XT.

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 GeForce RTX 3070 Ti doesn't quite catch the Radeon RX 6800 in Red Dead Redemption 2, but it's not very far behind, especially with the resolutions increased to 4K.

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.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Details @ 4K
We're contending with CPU limits in this game when running at 1440p, but with the resolution increased to 4K, we see a similar trend. Here, the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti outguns the GeForce RTX 3070 and RTX 2080 Ti, but trails the Radeon RX 6800 by about 9%.

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.
