I re-ran the benchmark with 5870 CF (1GB on each card), with PhysX off and DOF off. Even with 4AF I get unplayable fps as long as 4AA is used.



Generally we don't even need Metro 2033 to kill a card with just a little poor 1GB memory at the resolution of 1920x1200. Many other games will do, such like Napoleon Total War.
It is not even memory killing it so much as the game itself. With 4x AA 16, and max settings, your going to run into unplayable frame rates with a single card regardless depending on the level and environment, regardless of memory because you simply need more GPU power.
