Best Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition settings for the NVIDIA GTX 1650 (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 1650 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition runs at roughly 52 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 25FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 1650 is a entry-level graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is playable at 1080p — about 52 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 25 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 52 FPS at 1080p and 31 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 18 FPS at 4K. Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition offers ray tracing, but the NVIDIA GTX 1650 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	25	52
1440p	15	31
4K	9	18

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

🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

Recommended settings

Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% 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.

Ray-Traced ReflectionsOff+10% FPS

Adds ray-traced reflections on top of the RT lighting. A real cost - turn Off first if you need frames.

Shadow QualityLow+7% FPS

Shadow resolution and range. High is the value pick.

TessellationOff+6% FPS

Adds rounded 3D detail to surfaces and rubble. Normal is plenty.

Advanced PhysXOff+5% FPS

Extra particle physics, debris and destructible detail. Off smooths combat on weaker GPUs.

Anti-AliasingOff+3% FPS

Edge smoothing. TAA is clean and cheap.

Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS

Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.

HairworksOffbaseline

Physics-based hair and fur. A small cost - off is fine.

Texture FilteringAF 16xbaseline

Keeps surfaces sharp into the distance - essentially free, use 16x.
