Best Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition settings for the NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition runs at roughly 68 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 69FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 11GB of VRAM, and Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 68 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.

Across resolutions you can expect around 68 FPS at 1080p and 63 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 48 FPS at 4K. Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition offers ray tracing, but the NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti isn't built for it, so we leave it off. 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	69	68
1440p	41	63
4K	23	48

💡 Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition: Ray-traced lighting is always on - needs an RT-capable GPU.

Recommended settings

Upscaling — FSROff

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.
