On a NVIDIA RTX 5050 (laptop, 8GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition runs at roughly 75 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 56FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The NVIDIA RTX 5050 (laptop, 8GB) is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 8GB 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 75 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 56 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 75 FPS at 1080p and 61 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 40 FPS at 4K. Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition supports ray tracing and the NVIDIA RTX 5050 (laptop, 8GB) 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. 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 DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 56 | 75 |
| 1440p | 34 | 61 |
| 4K | 19 | 40 |
