Introducing Galaxy’s GTS 450 SuperOverclock
Metro 2033
Metro 2033 is the “Crysis” of 2010. It is a very demanding game on any PC with the very latest DX11 visuals. Metro 2033 is an action-oriented video game with a combination of survival horror, and first-person shooter elements. The game is based on the novel Metro 2033 by Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky. It was developed by 4A Games in Ukraine and released in March 2010. The game utilizes multi-platform 4A Engine and there is some doubt if the games engine is related to the original XRay engine used in S.T.A.L.K.E.R..
The Metro 2033 story takes place mostly in post-apocalyptic Moscow’s metro system but occasionally the player has to go above ground on some missions and search for valuables. Metro 2033‘s locations reflect the dark atmosphere of real metro tunnels but in a much more dangerous and lethal manner. Strange phenomena and noises are frequent, and mostly the player has to rely only on their flashlight to find their way around in otherwise total darkness. Even more deadly is the surface, as it is severely irradiated and a gas mask must be worn at all times due to the toxic air.
Just the week of this review, THQ released an official benchmark for Metro 2033. It is available when Steam updates the game and it includes a quality benchmark that provides minimum/maximum/average framerates, and you can adjust many graphics settings including PhysX, AA, DOF and tessellation, and the number of runs. Here presets are set to medium with no AA and no PhysX (except as indicated on the charts):
Let’s bench first at 1440×900 with no AA, medium presets as above.
And now at 1680×1050:
And now at 1920×1080 with 4xAA and GTS 450 SLI vs. HD 5870:
All of the single cards struggle with Metro 2033 with the aggressive settings that we used. We even see GTS 450 SLI beating the HD 5870 at the setting that we used but we would lower settings further if we played at 1920×1080. Metro 2033 is tessellation-heavy and it appears to take advantage of GF106’s tessellators better than the Radeon’s single one.
It’s a phenomenal review!! I loved how you compared it with a 5750 and my old 8800GTX, plus how you did 450’s in SLI versus 5870 and GTX 480. And the fully-rounded arsenal of games is icing on the cake!
Awesome review, very cool that you added 8800GTX. I was considering swapping mine out for the 450 originally.
i used the mother board MSI 880GM-E43 and A video card GTS 450 my question is what power supply should we used the 600W or 800W pls help me coz got problem in my video card the fan run slowly i just buy it now i used 600w power supply but my game got black screen everytime i play after 2minuts

However, either PSU is probably sufficient if they are of reasonable quality and not defective. The card’s fan speed is variable, depending on the temperatures. Use Galaxy’s Xtreme HD Tuner or EVGA precision tool to monitor temperatures.
