Metro Exodus benchmark on RTX 5080: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Metro Exodus FPS with a RTX 5080 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 284FPS min 148Excellent | 245FPS min 136Excellent | 174FPS min 114Excellent |
| High | 369FPS min 193Excellent | 318FPS min 177Excellent | 226FPS min 148Excellent |
| Medium | 482FPS min 252Excellent | 416FPS min 232Excellent | 295FPS min 193Excellent |
| Low | 500FPS min 261Excellent | 500FPS min 278Excellent | 382FPS min 250Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 60% | CPU 54% | CPU 37% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the Intel Core i9-14900K downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 5080. There is 4% between the slowest and fastest CPU in the table. One caveat: this is at 1080p, where the CPU weighs most. At 1440p and 4K the graphics card takes over and the processor stops mattering.
DLSS performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Metro Exodus at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image, so you trade a little sharpness for extra frames. These are the estimated figures for the RTX 5080 with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance | + Frame generation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 284 | 355 | 412 | 604 |
| 1440p | 245 | 331 | 404 | 563 |
| 4K | 174 | 252 | 322 | 428 |
Frame generation inserts intermediate frames: it raises the smoothness you see on screen, but it does not reduce input latency, so use it selectively in competitive games.
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 5080 does have dedicated hardware for it, so you can turn it on in games that implement it. The FPS cost swings widely depending on how much ray tracing each title uses, and DLSS is exactly what people lean on to pay for it.
Estimated figures. The real gain varies by game and by the version of the technology.
Is the CPU or the graphics card holding you back?
These FPS assume a mid-range CPU that isn't a bottleneck — roughly a Intel Core i5-13400 — and 16 GB of RAM.
With that CPU, the RTX 5080 has headroom to spare in Metro Exodus: the processor runs out before the graphics card does. A faster processor would gain you FPS; a stronger graphics card would barely help.
Is the RTX 5080 Enough for Metro Exodus?
The RTX 5080 delivers 284 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Metro Exodus. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 245 FPS and at 4K 174 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
