I imitated the benchmarking scene to find out if it truly represents the game’s performance. The benchmarking tool is a fly-over type where the camera is hovering around the scene with intense gunfights and explosions. The game came with a benchmarking tool located at the game’s installation folder. Fraps 3.5.9 for recording average and minimum frames per second.īuilt-In Benchmarking Tool vs Actual Gameplay.Our test system is slightly higher than the minimum requirements, but we will also test the game with Geforce 9600GT which is way lower than the required GTS 250, to see how the game will perform on lower systems.Īll tests were done with the following components and settings Windows 8 64-bit, Windows 7 SP1 64-bit / DX 11 We are hopeful that Last Light is now optimized and scales down to low-end systems. But with these visual enhancements, does this mean a higher system is required? Metro: 2033 offered great visuals at its time but cripples almost every system. Using the built-in heavily modified 4A Engine, the developer was able to render breathtaking visuals and include additional in-game enhancements like Nvidia Physx and Supersampling Anti-aliasing. The sequel to Metro: 2033, Metro: Last Light continues the story in the personality of Artyom once more. Built-In Benchmarking Tool vs Actual Gameplay.You're not losing any effects, it's just the precision/resolution of the ray tracing that is decreased. If you can't notice it at the lowest setting at your current resolution, then just leave it at medium. My recommendation is to turn this setting down until the point the noise becomes easily noticeable/distracting and then move up one setting from there. Medium at native 3440x1440 is actually a higher setting than my high at 4K DLSS performance so it's not surprising you can't tell much difference if that's what you're using. ultra if I really look for it but in normal gameplay is hard to tell the difference. I'm using high at 4K DLSS performance, and that's comfortably past the threshold of 'good enough' for me. If you're actually using native 3440x1440 without DLSS then medium is actually quite good. It looks like an almost 'boiling' pattern of dots, if it is set too low. So medium at 4K is the same as ultra at 1080p. You'll get a noisier resolve of the RT lighting with lower settings but crucially the setting scales with native rendering resolution.
