How to get the best frame rate in Metro 2033 Redux
The publisher's minimum for Metro 2033 Redux is DirectX 10, Shader Model 4 compliant graphics cards (GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB, GeForce GTS 250, etc) with Dual Core CPU (2.2+ GHz Dual Core CPU or better), and the recommended hardware is DirectX 11 compliant graphics card (GeForce GTX 480 and above). We treat the recommended hardware as the setup that holds about 60 fps at 1080p on High.
In our estimates a GeForce GTX 750 Ti is about the weakest card that holds 60 fps on High at 1080p, a GeForce GTX 1050 does the same at 1440p, and a Radeon RX 480 at 4K. Cards below that can still play the game, at Medium or Low.
Open world and story games are limited by the graphics card in busy areas and by video memory in new locations. If you see stutter when you enter a new area, lower the texture setting a step. Turn on upscaling if the game offers it.
