Recommended settings
Upscaling — DLSSOff
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.
Physics / EffectsMediumbaseline
Particles, debris and physics detail. Medium smooths combat.
Anti-AliasingTAAbaseline
Edge smoothing. TAA is clean and cheap.
Texture FilteringAF 16xbaseline
Keeps surfaces sharp into the distance - essentially free, use 16x.
