![]() Even the top-end 'Quality' setting will deliver higher frame rates than the DLSS 1.0 implementation of the original game, and going for 'Performance' will make a huge difference to your overall frame rate without hugely impacting fidelity. If you're rocking an Nvidia GPU then absolutely your first recourse to discovering extra frame rate performance should be the DLSS options. We were quite happily playing on 'Ultra' at 4K with an RTX 3060 Ti on our mid-range rig with the 'Performance' DLSS setting, and that claims to need an RTX 3080 for 4K at 30 fps. ![]() The base Quality setting is a good starting point for straight performance, but the magic DLSS bullet can make a big difference if you're on the green team. METRO EXODUS STEAM GRID 1080PAt 1080p you're rendering at such a low resolution the AI upsampling doesn't have as much to work with and you do get some noise in the most detailed areas of a scene, and shimmering around fine lines, such as the trees. Though, if I'm honest, I'd probably steer clear of the 'Ultra performance' mode at the lower resolutions. Use that as a jumping off point and you can pick up anywhere from 20 to nearly 50 fps higher performance with the different DLSS settings. Even at the least aggressive, most aesthetically pleasing end of the preset spectrum-'DLSS Quality'-you're still getting higher frame rates than the original version could offer, and with a far higher fidelity too. The main takeaway of our testing is that regardless of what else you do with the in-game settings you absolutely have to enable DLSS if your GPU is capable. The original game employed DLSS 1.0 to give RT gamers a bump on their frame rates, but as a first-gen implementation of the tech it sometimes delivered a rather muddy, blurry image.ĭLSS 2.0 is a whole new game of balls, however, works even at 1080p, and now comes with four different presets as opposed to just on/off. (Image credit: 4A Games) Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition DLSS performanceĪs a card carrying member of the DLSS 2.0 club, the Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition gets access to the latest and greatest version of Nvidia's ever-impressive super sampling feature. So it's down to the MSI RTX 3060 Ti Ventus 2x and MSI RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio to give us a proper bead on Metro's new gaming chops. That's because our representative budget machine, the Arctic Stealth (it's white and eschews RGB), is only running an MSI GTX 1650 Super Gaming X, and with the best will in the world that's no ray tracing GPU. ![]() METRO EXODUS STEAM GRID FULLWe've only tested Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition on the new mid-range and high-end PC Gamer test rigs, that's Mellow Yellow and Hot Pink, to give them their full titles. But how does this enhanced edition perform compared with the original incarnation, and what are the best settings to tweak if you want to boost performance? The original was, which is why we still use it to test the latest GPUs. METRO EXODUS STEAM GRID UPGRADEMetro Exodus Enhanced Edition was released on May 6, 2021, on PC, and June 18, 2021, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.As our partner for these detailed performance analyses, MSI provided the hardware we needed to test Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition on different PC gaming hardware.Īs one of the first big names to release with ray tracing capable hardware as a minimum requirement-even though it's essentially a free upgrade for a two year-old game-Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition is going to be demanding on your hardware. ![]() That reason alone justifies the Enhanced Edition for Metro Exodus the list of changes and improvements is also quite elaborate and likely needs further explanation in case players are hoping to see what the fuss is all about in this re-release. It might not sound much when described like that but players have to see it to believe it. RELATED: FPS Games We Wish Were Ported To Consoles (& Some Games That Can't Be)įor the uninitiated, Ray Tracing is a more realistically behaving rendition of digital light in computer-generated imagery. It's not only the best version of a Metro game right now, but it's also currently the best example of what can be done with Nvidia's Ray Tracing technology. The developers, however, 4A Games, prefer things nearly perfect, which is why Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition exists. Metro Exoduswas one of the most outstanding games of 2019 both visually and from a gameplay perspective. ![]()
