Gallery: Metro 2033 DX11 Shots, Competes With Crysis Graphically

Exophase.com writes, "There's no doubt about it - 4A Games' recently released post-apocalyptic shooter sure is a looker. As far as interior environments are concerned, we have the gall to say to say that it competes with the mighty Crysis graphically. Surpasses it, even."

Hit the break for an assortment of screens maxed to full tilt under DX11.

30-40 fps on a 5970 @1080p plus a linear game? Unoptimized much? Or is DX11 destined to be a curse on hardware requirements just like DX10 was?

non-WHQL Catalyst 10.3 will be out today, ATI never officially leaks drivers but the performance gains are very good, check them out.

[lelo2play]

i have not played the game, but those screens look great.

[iamgoatman]

The poor performance is normally down to driver maturity. When DX10 was released there was a substantial performance hit, but these days the performance is no where near as bad as it was.

Although I suspect DX11 will be far more hardware intense than DX10 was to DX9.

Actually, it says "maxed to full tilt under DX11". Crysis can't do that even without DX11. Max out Crysis(original) to full tilt and you get nothing but 3 fps with the same card.

Anyway, it's impressive stuff, downloading the game now.

what happend to the 360 version, can someone answer me? seen the pics and i dont think it can compete with crysis(the way there hying it) its a far cry...dosent look as bad as people are claiming it to be though, its still a renter.

Metro 2033 on Xbox is out the same time as the PC

The only good thing about these screenshots are the texture resolution. Not close too Crysis.

[Chris_TC]

I agree, the high-res textures are nice. But other than that I'm not impressed at all.

Considering that most scenes seem to take place in dark tunnels while Crysis has to render dense jungle all the time, Metro 2033 should blow everyone away with its graphics. But it sure doesn't blow me away. Crysis is still the king.

Have played the 360 version and i have to say that i m impressed..most of the time.as some other article compared the 360 with the pc version,there are not many graphical differences..other places do look astonishing,others look...meahh(snow textures for example)..but certainly is no match for crysis...killzone 2 maybe!

Fallout 3 except for charachter models are a bit more complex

[zslash]

Comparable to Fallout? Here's a gameplay video:

Blows Fallout 3 away graphically.. no comparison whatsoever.

people saying unoptimised iam running the game on 5750 at 1080p max out and its running at 40-60.

[ultramoot]

Really? What are your other specs?

[iamgoatman]

Screens look great. Always like to see some high res textures being used, unlike some games these days, I'm looking at your Bioshock 2.

[Letros]

oh god, some of those texture looked like they came from system shock 2, not bioshock 2.

[despair]

definitely not crysis level i see the similarities to fallout though with better texture resolution.

[Optical_Matrix]

Huh? Really. Doesn't look like it to me. And that's max settings I presume.Also is it just me or does the art direction STINK in this game?

[1PC2PS33360]

Game looks head and shoulders above 99% of ...
all console games released, that is, if you are playing it on a retardedly beefy rig.

Core i-7 920
6 gb of 1366 ddr3
2 x 285's oc'd
vista 64

I get 60 fps (with out v-sync over 100) occasional dips down to 45 in outdoor, heavy particle areas... and yes..it fu@kin destroys killzone graphically....texture work on pc is outstanding...on pc....on 360....not so much

playing at 1920x1080 all very high dx10
