FAQ

FAQ: Metro Exodus x Intel Arc A580

What is the optimal setting for playing Metro Exodus with Intel Arc A580?

A setting of "1080p / high Quality / FG: N/A" is the most practical choice. Since Ultra settings fall below 60FPS, lowering settings ensures a stable frame rate.

Can Intel Arc A580 run Metro Exodus on Ultra settings?

Yes, but frame drops may occur. For a stable 60FPS, try high settings (73 FPS).

Can I play Metro Exodus at 4K resolution with Intel Arc A580?

4K is not recommended for this setup. The game averages only 27 FPS at 4K even on Standard settings. We suggest playing at 1440p or 1080p for a better experience.

Can I use Frame Generation (DLSS 3 / FSR 3) in Metro Exodus with Intel Arc A580?

No. While your Intel Arc A580 supports Frame Generation, Metro Exodus itself does not support this feature at this time.
