We test in DirectX 12 mode with ray tracing, Hairworks, and DLSS disabled for our basic benchmarks. The latest version of the 4A Engine provides incredibly luscious, ultra-detailed visuals, with one of the most stunning real-time ray tracing implementations released yet. One of the best games of 2019, Metro Exodus is one of the best-looking games around, too. We manually set all options to their highest possible settings. You can’t use the presets to benchmark Gears Tactics, as it intelligently scales to work best on your installed hardware, meaning that “Ultra” on one graphics card can load different settings than “Ultra” on a weaker card. We’ve also enabled temporal anti-aliasing (TAA) to push these cards to their limits when it’s available. 2x 500GB Samsung 860 EVO SSDs ($70 each on Amazon)Įach game is tested using its in-game benchmark at the highest possible graphics presets unless otherwise noted, with VSync, frame rate caps, real-time ray tracing or DLSS effects, and FreeSync/G-Sync disabled, along with any other vendor-specific technologies like FidelityFX.Corsair Crystal 570X RGB case, with front and top panels removed and an extra rear fan installed for improved airflow.EVGA 1200W SuperNova P2 power supply ($352 on Amazon).64GB HyperX Predator RGB DDR4/2933 ($355 on Amazon).

Here’s a list of what’s inside our GPU test system, which was built to minimize potential bottlenecks in other components, putting the full brunt of the tests on the graphics card itself: The GeForce RTX 3070 Founders Edition in our test system.
