Metro: Last Light is also powered by NvidiaвЂ™s PhysX effects, and offers an advanced physics option that can be enabled by both Nvidia and AMD users. Thus, if youвЂ™re getting mid 40s, youвЂ™ll be able to run Metro: Last Light without major issues and at higher framerates than those witnessed while running the benchmark tool. At this point, we should note that the benchmark tool is basically a stress test. Truth be told though, players will need a quad-core CPU in order to run it at constant 40+ fps. This further proves that Metro: Last Light is a GPU bound title. And while its benchmark вЂ“ average вЂ“ result was 31fps, the in-game framerate was higher than that. While simulating a dual-core CPU, our GTX690 (in Single-GPU mode, meaning that it was performing like a GTX680) was used at around 60-90%. A dual-core system will be enough for the lowest settings (provided you are not GPU limited) and will offer you better framerates than its console counterpart. Metro: Last Light demands a high-end PC to truly shine. Furthermore вЂ“ and as we can see from the following graph вЂ“ all of our CPU cores were almost maxed out, indicating amazing scaling across multiple CPU cores. A dual-core performs 50% slower than a quad-core, while a tri-core performs 18% slower than a quad-core. 4A Engine takes full advantage of quad-cores, and вЂ“ perhaps for the first time вЂ“ we are witnessing a performance difference between a tri-core and a quad-core CPU. Apart from these problems, 4A Engine performs incredibly well. Both Nvidia and 4A Games are aware of these issues, so letвЂ™s hope that theyвЂ™ll be able to fix them sooner than later. The game also suffers from various flickering issues (that can be easily spotted in both Nvidia and AMD camps). Quite frankly, Metro: Last LightвЂ™s stuttering fest can literally destroy your gaming experience, and can be as annoying as the one spotted in Bioshock: Infinite. It didnвЂ™t matter whether we were running the game in Single-GPU or in SLI mode as there was noticeable stuttering in both configurations. Not only that, but Metro: Last Light suffers from some annoying stuttering issues. Therefore, we are convinced that the current SLI profile is not working as good as it should. In other words, there is no reason behind that performance hit. As you may already know, higher resolutions affect the GPU and not the CPU. What really surprised was the fact that our GPU cores were not stressed at all (when we raised our resolution). The moment we raised our resolution at 1440p, we noticed a 12-17fps performance hit. It seems a bit weird that both SLI and Single-GPU modes had the same results, but letвЂ™s assume that we were CPU limited.

Metro: Last LightвЂ™s benchmark tool resulted with an average of 52fps at 720p (max settings without SSAA and Advanced PhysX) in both SLI and Single-GPU modes.

Nvidia needs to update this SLI profile as soon as possible as the SLI scaling is not up to what weвЂ™ve been hoping to.

Unfortunately though, it seems that this driver has a lot of issues. Nvidia recommends its latest beta driver for Metro: Last Light, a driver that comes with a вЂ“ supposedly вЂ“ updated SLI profile for it and is said to be offering a 10% performance boost.

As always, we used an overclocked Q9650 (4.2Ghz) with 4GB RAM, an Nvidia GTX 690, the latest version of the GeForce drivers and Windows 7-64Bit. Metro: Last Light performs better than Metro 2033, even though it is one of the most demanding titles available on the PC.

Well, we are happy to report that 4A GamesвЂ™ claims are true. According to the developers, the engine has been optimized and the game is said to be running better than its predecessor. Metro: Last Light is the sequel to Metro 2033, and is powered by 4A Games proprietary engine, 4A Engine. WeвЂ™ve been covering Metro: Last LightвЂ™s launch this whole week, and itвЂ™s time now for our Performance Analysis.
