XFX R7970 Black Edition Review - PAGE 12

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.

Metro 2033 craves memory bandwidth, and the HD 7900 series delivers on that front. However, given that the R7970 only has a small memory bandwidth increase compared to the reference model, we were a bit surprised how the performance in Metro 2033 was around 8% higher.
