Once upon a time, there was an old saying in PC gaming spheres: ‘But will it run Crysis?’ Then the apocalypse happened, and civilisation retreated to the dark tunnels of its underground tube system, the phrase becoming lost and morphed in the intervening years. Now we say in hushed, hallowed tones, ‘But will it run Metro?’
The toughest of tough guys on PC these days, Metro Exodus is an absolute beast of a game that puts even today’s best graphics cards under strain, especially if you want all that juicy Nvidia RTX ray tracing and DLSS magic making everything look even prettier than it does already. Fortunately, help is at hand, as I’ve spent the last week testing practically every graphics card under sun to tell you exactly how to get the best settings on your PC, and how to get the latest instalment in the rather excellent Metro series running at a smooth 60fps.
