Best Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition settings for the NVIDIA RTX 5070 (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 5070 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-12900F-class CPU), Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition runs at roughly 86 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 87FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 5070 is a high-end graphics card with 12GB of VRAM, and Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i9-12900F, it runs well at 1440p — about 86 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 143 FPS at 1080p and 86 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 66 FPS at 4K. Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition supports ray tracing and the NVIDIA RTX 5070 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. 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.
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.
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.
