On a NVIDIA GTX 1060 (laptop, 6GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition runs at roughly 62 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 33FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The NVIDIA GTX 1060 (laptop, 6GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 6GB of VRAM, and Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 62 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 33 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 62 FPS at 1080p and 41 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 23 FPS at 4K. Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition offers ray tracing, but the NVIDIA GTX 1060 (laptop, 6GB) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. With only 6GB 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 | 33 | 62 |
| 1440p | 20 | 41 |
| 4K | 11 | 23 |

Turn on FSR (Balanced), keep ray tracing off for maximum FPS, and ease the heaviest options like Ray-Traced Reflections and Tessellation 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.
