Metro Last Light Redux

Metro: Last Light is a single-player post-apocalyptic-themed first-person shooter video game with stealth and survival horror elements, developed by Ukrainian studio 4A Games and published by Deep Silver for Microsoft Windows, OS X, Linux, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in May 2013. Just like the original game, Metro: Last Light is played from the perspective of Artyom, the player-character. The story takes place in post-apocalyptic Moscow, mostly inside the metro system, but occasionally missions bring the player above ground. Wikipedia

At 1080p we consistently had some weird results with the GTX 970. As you can see in the FPS/Usage report we ended up with an average of 48 FPS in the end, which sounds great, but when you check out the FPS it jumps around a lot and made the game obnoxious to play at points. It repeated this for all 3 runs. We didn’t experience this phenomenon at 4K, however our FPS numbers weren’t anything to write home about either. Getting an average just under 12FPS, we have to recommend 3 in SLI if you plan to play this game maxed out at 4K resolution.
