Best Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition settings for the NVIDIA RTX 3090 Ti (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 3090 Ti (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-12900F-class CPU), Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition runs at roughly 75 FPS at 4K with our optimized settings — up from about 56FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 3090 Ti is a high-end graphics card with 24GB of VRAM, and Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i9-12900F, it runs well at 4K — about 75 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 56 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 163 FPS at 1080p and 98 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 75 FPS at 4K. Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition supports ray tracing and the NVIDIA RTX 3090 Ti can technically run it, but it's the single most expensive option here — we keep it off to hit a smooth frame rate and suggest turning it on only if you have frames to spare. Its 24GB of VRAM is plenty for Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition, so textures can stay maxed. The biggest free win is DLSS 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 DLSS (Quality) — about +35% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — DLSSQuality+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.
