Metro 2033 - Performance Guide

Metro 2033 has just been released and today we are comparing the performance and visual quality of various settings and hardware configurations.

Metro 2033 is a tall order for any system and we see no easy way to optimize your computer for this title. Those with mid-range graphics cards will find that DirectX 9 is not going to help improve performance and therefore might as well stick with DX10. Overclocking your processor is not likely to improve performance either, as we found when testing at frequencies from 2.0GHz through to 3.60GHz. Read more at Legion Hardware.
