4A Games has revealed the official PC system requirements for Metro Exodus. According to the specs, PC gamers will at least need an Intel Core i5 4440 with 8GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX670 or a GTX 1050 or an AMD Radeon HD 7870 for gaming at 1080p/30fps on Low settings.
For gaming at 1440p with 60fps on Ultra settings, 4A Games recommends an Intel Core i7 8700K with 16GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX1080Ti or RTX2070 or an AMD Radeon RX Vega 64.
Furthermore, 4A Games claims that an NVIDIA GeForce RTX2080Ti will be enough to handle the game’s Extreme settings in 4K with 60fps, so it will be interesting to see whether NVIDIA’s flagship is able to offer a constant 60fps experience or an average 60fps experience.
Last but not least, 4A Games stated that it will reveal RTX-specific performance profiles in the coming days, possibly hinting at Metro Exodus supporting real-time ray tracing on launch day.
Metro Exodus releases on February 15th!

just get the most powerful pc you can fam
man the jewish merchant meme has become universal, now everything is a jew merchant.
those peripherals though…
i get the Razer but the blue stuff looks like Roccat?
ohhh right, Deathadder
it’s strange seeing Razer Garbage not in neon puke-Green
thought the main point of Gayzer was the LED rather than the brand…

i9-9900K for 4K 60 ????
Whats wrong with that? until recently we couldn’t even hit 60 fps on low/med gfx tho? When did 4k 60 fps became so main stream that people think its easy to run on the newest games? In this case, on a Crysis like game. Crysis like means, a game that usually doesn’t run well on the current hardware and its very hard to hit a stable frame rate with high settings.
FYI, on 4K res, most of the games actually become GPU-bound though.
But that doesn’t mean we don’t need a powerful CPU to reduce any sort of bottleneck. But there is a slight exaggeration with the CPU specs listed for this particular game though.
We need to wait for reviews to see how demanding this game is, and whether it’s CPU or GPU bound.
Because on such a high 4K resolution, even though the GPU has to work 4 times as hard, the bottleneck on the CPU is STILL there, but there’s a “stronger” bottleneck on the GPU instead.
But the reason why typically CPU bottlenecking is less at higher resolution is, because on high resolution you get low frame rates. If you can get HIGH frame rates at high resolutions, you are still gonna get the same CPU bottlenecking to some extent (depends on the app/game)..
CPUs usually don’t care if it’s 480p or 4K/8K/12K resolution, they only care about the frame rate/fps.
To put it in other words, when gaming on high resolution, no the load does not actually “MOVE” to the GPU. The load simply “increases” on the GPU side without changing the CPU side (resolution does not affect CPU load).
The LOAD becomes more “heavily” weighted towards GPU power than CPU power, but it’s not because the demand has been redistributed away from the CPU toward the GPU, nope, it’s because the GPU demand has “increased” and the CPU demand has stayed almost the same.
That sure clears it up nicely, shame i just saw you replied to me ;p It only took me a month to read it.
LOL….How did you find my comment though, in the first place ?? Yeah, this was a very OLD post….:D
Because i got a notification about it just now.. it literally pop up in the top 10 notifications, between other responses from waaay sooner 😀 When you add that i’m often logged out and lazy to log in, and also lazy to check the notifications (when they work ;p) (also it bugged out as i just said)
thats how ;p
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh funny how 4k60fps requires 9900K, at 4k the i7 4770K will do just fine
unless denuvo is holding this game so much that the 9900K will be required
these are absurd
another game from these guys were the requirements are ridiculous because they get paid to not optimize there game and focus on console.
Sometimes this is what i find funny with pc gamer. When developer try to push the hardware limit it will be “unoptimized mess”. When they do the opposite it will be “not taking advantage of raw power available on pc”. It has been that way since the original crysis.
“When developer try to push the hardware limit it will be “unoptimized mess”.what exactly is this limit? i dont see anything much better than whats currently being offered. also look at the first two games specifically the first and tell me that wasnt unoptimized for its time. i dare you.
you need to go back to 2007 and relive the Crysis moment once again.
anyway we don’t see any better because we already at the point where more polygon count does not mean more beautiful games. this is something crytek has mention before. but despite that our games still far from looking like a photorealistic. meaning there is still improvement can be made. one way that can make photorealistic looks in games is by using RT.
yeah the first two metro games have it’s issue at launch but 4A is not a big developer to begin with. but you also can’t deny the first games also one that try to beat crysis when it comes to graphic. when other DX11 games at the time just try yo use one feature from DX11 metro try to implement several of them.
“one way that can make photorealistic looks in games is by using RT.”
oh i see, your just shilling for ray tracing from nvidia
wow. to be honest i don’t even care about RT. just stating the general fact how you get photorealistic effect with RT. it has been done long before nvidia making any marketing buzz with it. so now i’m shilling for nvidia huh?
lol those CPU requirements should be the other way around 😀 Should not need a 4770K like I have for 1080P while needing a 9900K for 4K 😀
Absolutely correct, but I did like the format. I have an i7 6700 non k and rtx2080 bet I could get high 4k 60fps then.
How on earth a console can run this game if you need i7 4770k i7 8700 i9 9900 i can’t say anything waiting for the benchmark then we can start flaming dev if thing not looking good
An i7 8700K officially isn’t good enough for 4K/60fps at max’ settings? ?
I suspect you may be proved right. Heck, they’re also saying that neither an i7 7700K nor 6700K is good enough for 1440p/60fps at a step down from max’ settings. That seems hard to believe.
Hopefully they’ve not exaggerated CPU requirements due to it being primarily designed around console limitations and/or having been bunged some money by Intel’s marketing team – note the complete absence of any Ryzen CPU being mentioned.
Seems like an exaggeration to me though.
Also, we already know they’re not putting the consumer first by way of them choosing for the game to feature Denuvo. So only a fool would blindly assume them to be acting in our best interests.
Honestly speaking, I wouldn’t be surprised if this game doesn’t live up to it’s expectations, given all the Hype which has surrounded this title since the beginning.
Agreed. From much of the gameplay footage I’ve seen thus far I’m not keen on how much of the game is seemingly now set above ground in wide open spaces. The best parts of Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light took place underground in the, er, metro system.
On a totally off topic note, are you getting Notifications on your disqus profile ? Mine isn’t updating, regardless of whether someone posts a reply, and/or up-votes me.
Even my recent replies aren’t showing on my own profile, lol.
Yeap, it’s a bug. We’ve noticed this too
Thanks ! Now, I’m a bit relieved after hearing from you as well !
Yep, Disqus is very slow at the mo. I’m getting notifications far later than usual. Notifications for replies I’ve already replied to. Maybe Disqus now requires an i9 9900K, lol!
Maybe Disqus now requires an i9 9900K, lol!
Disqus has been plagued by DENUVO it seems !
The DEVs mostly do this sometimes on purpose, so that they can cover themselves by saying you need something high-end and extreme/powerful. What this basically means is, that the most powerful CPU will be the best, according to them.
But it doesn’t actually mean we need an i9 9900K for 4k/60FPS. Even the 9700K, 8700K or the Ryzen 2700X should be sufficient (hopefully).
Indeed. It does seem a little suspect for them not to have mentioned any Ryzen CPU though. I suspect foul play, i.e. stated CPU requirements being as they are due to some marketing deal with Intel.
+1.
Foul play, shenanigans, shady dealings, marketing deals… call it what you will. No need to be so pedantic and rude.
Now there’s a great attitude to have! smh
Nice straw man.
You’re a clown
Nobody is being stupid here, except you. Get a grip, man.
I had almost forgot about those complaining on videogames specs showing either one or another company for CPUs or GPUs. Come on, they probably put intel because they’re the best CPU for gaming, i don’t really think intel needs to make “a deal” with 4A Games and deep silver just to show their CPUs instead of AMD’s.
That’s for the Denuvo overhead. That’s how they avoid the backlash/covering there as*es by inflating the requirements, when Denuvo is involved.
At 4k the difference of an i7 4770 and an i7 9700k with a gtx 1080ti is 1 to 3 fps I bet. What do you think messiah?

Oh no! Ahahahahahahahahaha!
Whoa! Over the few years,my rig does not even scratch the minimum requirements for games. Oh,well. This one has Denuvo,so it just got unchecked from the wishlist. 🙁

No Optimization
Stop crying, 4A’s games have always been demanding.
Well this is not good. I’ve got everything for 1440p that’s listed but apparently my 980 Ti won’t be enough. I will just have to wait to play it. I’m not going to buy a rip off RTX 2080 and I don’t like getting used cards from people I don’t know. Some really got abused during the mining craze.
Your gpu will be enough, the texture size controlled separately
VRAM required for HIGH/1080p 8GB, then they recommend the RTX 2060 with 6GB, such lel!
They recommend either a 1080 Ti or the significantly slower Vega 64 for 1440p. As much as people have complained that AMD had nothing to compete with the 1080 Ti then it should be common knowledge concerning that.
And look how they go from a 4 core 8 thread CPU for 1080p to an 8 core 16 thread CPU for 4K.
I don’t know but sometimes it seems like the recommended hardware is decided on by the Marketing Department who don’t know anything much about hardware to begin with.
This is just silly. I mean the Vega64 and the GTX 1080 are almost the same in performance terms, so what they actually mean is, you would need a GTX 1080 for 1440p Ultra Settings.
Could be just a typo but the chart does say 1080 Ti.
Think it’s just an exaggeration. I mean 1080ti for 1440p Ultra is abit much. Even a GTX 1070 for 1080p High is quite a high requirement in my opinion. I’m sure a GTX 1060 should be enough for 60fps at 1080p high. Let’s wait and see when the title releases.
“Gaming at 1440p with 60fps on Ultra settings, 4A Games recommends an
Intel Core i7 8700K with 16GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX1080Ti” So I’m out of luck with a 4790K.. I doubt, but let’s see. Maybe its the year to upgrade :/ Looking forward to the game but I’m pretty sure it’s wise to wait a month or three until devs have performance optimized 🙂
Large chance they are overstated and small chance they are understated
JESUS
and i thought this game would be optimized… guess that deal with (((Microsoft)))
should’ve set some red flags…
well i don’t think i’ll be picking it anytime soon
Denovu, no MGR economy, casualized gameplay, braindead A.I and p*ss poor optimization…
great way to kill a franchise 4A, guess they sold out…
John, some totally OFF TOPIC news. Windows Lite is a new upcoming PC operating system by Microsoft. It’s a Microsoft’s ChromeOS competitor though.
The OS definitely features UWP, and from the looks of the screenshot doing rounds, also appears to support legacy Win32 apps, however,Microsoft has in the past restricted functionality of its cheapest OS products so as to not kill pricier Windows versions. Microsoft is innovating two brand new Windows user-interfaces for launches through2019-2020, codenamed “Polaris” and “Andromeda.”

Hello JOHN,
Just found one news article regarding the performance of the upcoming gpu from AMD, the Radeon 7.
Some synthetic benchmarks have surfaced, not related to GAMING though, but it gives us an idea about the performance of this GPU, which is close to the RTX 2080. More info can be found under these links. Thanks for reading.
