AMD Radeon HD 7950 Launch Review - PAGE 14

Metro 2033 puts you right in the middle of post apocalyptic Moscow, battling Mutants, rivals and ratio-active fallout. The game is very graphics intensive and utilizes DX11 technology, making it a good measure of how the latest generation of graphics cards perform under the latest standard.

Both the Southern Islands graphics cards we have tested thus far have shown excellent performance in Metro 2033. In this benchmark the HD 7950 managed to perform up to 21% better than the GTX 580 at the highest resolution, and 15% better at the two lower resolution settings. Metro 2033 is a benchmark that runs best when the graphics card has substantial memory bandwidth, so while the HD 7950ès results are impressive they were also expected.
