On a AMD RX 5500 XT (8GB) (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 3 3300X-class CPU), Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition runs at roughly 67 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 50FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The AMD RX 5500 XT (8GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X, it runs well at 1080p — about 67 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 50 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 67 FPS at 1080p and 61 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 36 FPS at 4K. Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition offers ray tracing, but the AMD RX 5500 XT (8GB) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. With only 8GB 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 | 50 | 67 |
| 1440p | 30 | 61 |
| 4K | 17 | 36 |
