Metro Last Light
Version and / or Patch Used: Latest Steam Update


Looking at Metro Last Light, you can see that the GIGABYTE R9 280 WINDFORCE 3GB OC manages to get a nice little performance boost over the R9 270X. Looking above, you can unfortunately see that the card does continue to fall short of that playable 60 FPS we're on the hunt for at all resolutions.
With that said, though, you can see that at 1680x1060, the 58 FPS average is quite solid. A slight adjustment to detail will give a playable experience.
Nexuiz
Version and / or Patch Used: Latest Steam Update


It comes as no surprise that Nexuiz performance across the board is just too low. The 54 FPS average at 1680x1050 isn't too bad, but it's still just short of that 60 FPS number we're always-on the hunt for. Saying that, if you wanted to drop the detail a bit, you could get a smooth gaming experience with no major issues.
