Best Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition settings for the NVIDIA GTX 1070 Ti (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 1070 Ti (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition runs at roughly 65 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 49FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 1070 Ti is a entry-level graphics card with 8GB 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 65 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 49 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 65 FPS at 1080p and 61 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 35 FPS at 4K. Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition offers ray tracing, but the NVIDIA GTX 1070 Ti 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.

💡 Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition: Ray-traced lighting is always on - needs an RT-capable GPU.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Quality) — about +35% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRQuality+35% FPS
Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition (4A Engine) supports DLSS - a big boost that makes its always-on ray tracing affordable.
Ray-Traced GI QualityNormal0% FPS
The Enhanced Edition's ray-traced global illumination is always on - you only pick the quality. High is the value pick; Extreme is for top-end cards.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.
Ray-Traced ReflectionsOnbaseline
Adds ray-traced reflections on top of the RT lighting. A real cost - turn Off first if you need frames.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. High is the value pick.
TessellationNormalbaseline
Adds rounded 3D detail to surfaces and rubble. Normal is plenty.
HairworksOffbaseline
Physics-based hair and fur. A small cost - off is fine.
Advanced PhysXOnbaseline
Extra particle physics, debris and destructible detail. Off smooths combat on weaker GPUs.
Anti-AliasingTAAbaseline
Edge smoothing. TAA is clean and cheap.
Texture FilteringAF 16xbaseline
Keeps surfaces sharp into the distance - essentially free, use 16x.
