Can i run Metro Exodus on my PC?
Hi, i want to play Metro Exodus. But not sure about my system could handle it. Here's my system: CPU: Intel Xeon X5450 CPU-Z: GPU: Sapphire R9 280X Tri-X OC 3GB GDDR5 384-Bit GPU-Z: MB: Asus ROG Commando RAM: Kingston 6GB DDR2 800MHZ C L6 HDD: Samsung HD155UI 1.5 TB 5400 RPM PSU: Gigabyte P650B 650W 80+ Bronze OS: Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit 20H2 I've played Battlefield 1 at ultra settings at 1280X1024 resolution at around 50 FPS. Thanks in advance.
The site you linked should be able to provide an accurate response to your query.
I stumbled upon this video while searching online. It doesn't look very good, and the system in the clip seems more capable than yours in several areas. Even when running it at high settings, I believe lowering the performance won't make much difference. If you're using less than 1080p, my main worries are your RAM capacity and your processor speed. Metro Exodus specifies 8GB RAM as a minimum, but you only have 6. It seems this number might be higher than necessary. Your processor speed is also a concern, which will affect overall performance. The game runs smoother in tunnels and stations, but slows down noticeably when you enter combat zones. When do you plan to upgrade next?
On average it's about 50 frames, but those tiny drops below 1 or 0.1% at 1-2 FPS hint at some rough patches. Metro Exodus could be worth trying (look for places offering refunds), though it’s likely to fall short compared to BF1. It’s tough to say how much worse it might be. The Xeon from around 2007 still gives me concern.
Your system feels quite outdated—your CPU has been running for 14 years and your graphics card is constantly overheating. Figuring out what to do isn’t simple. Even if the games aren’t demanding, your hardware is struggling, and you’re not heeding advice. You probably won’t enjoy smooth performance anymore.
If you're good at playing BF5, you should be able to handle Metro Exodus... probably? I suggest purchasing it on Steam first, checking compatibility, and if it doesn't work, requesting a refund. That's my usual method for buying games. As long as you limit playtime to under two hours—something you'd need to test beforehand—you're all set. In my view, this is the most sensible approach.
