On a AMD RX 540 (4GB) (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 3 3300X-class CPU), Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition runs at roughly 19 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 9FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The AMD RX 540 (4GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 19 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 9 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 19 FPS at 1080p and 12 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 7 FPS at 4K. Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition offers ray tracing, but the AMD RX 540 (4GB) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. With only 4GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 9 | 19 |
| 1440p | 6 | 12 |
| 4K | 3 | 7 |

With FrameCoach's optimized balanced settings, the AMD RX 540 (4GB) averages around 19 FPS at 1080p in Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition — up from about 9 FPS with everything on High.
At 1440p with optimized settings, the AMD RX 540 (4GB) averages roughly 12 FPS in Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition; turn on upscaling or aim for a locked 60 for the best feel.
Turn on FSR (Balanced), keep ray tracing off for maximum FPS, and ease the heaviest options like Ray-Traced Reflections and Shadow Quality down a notch. The full per-setting breakdown is above.
FPS figures are estimates from a generalized model (hardware tier × game load × per-setting weights), not live benchmarks — real performance varies by scene, drivers and game version.
