Metro 2033
We use the full version of Metro 2033 from Steam. We benchmark the intro mission. Start recording the framerate using Fraps after the main character climbed up the ladder at the beginning. Afterwards play the section till the car comes (on the outside) and the video sequence starts.
Installation
Sometimes the game wont start because of the PhysX-DLL error. It helps downloading the dll file (e.g. from http://www.dll-files.com/pop.php?dll=physxloader ) and copy it in the windows/system folder. If Metro hangs up or exits with an error message, restarting the system often helps.
Settings
We change the Quality preset and set Antialiasing on AAA (lowest setting) and Anisotrope Filtering (AF) on 4x.
| Setting Class | Resolution | Quality Preset, DirectX |
| low | 800x600 | Low Preset, DirectX 9 |
| med | 1366x768 | Normal Preset, DirectX 10 |
| high | 1600x900 | High Preset, DirectX 10 |
| ultra | 1920x1080 | Very High Preset, DirectX 11 |

| 5 | stutters - The game probably won't run fluently in this settings with this graphics card as at least one average framerate lies below the limit of 25fps |
| may stutter - Interpolated information. A slower graphics card was not able to run the game fluently and there are no benchmarks for this card. Therefore, this one may probably also not run. | |
| 30 | fluent - The game should run fluently as all known benchmarks are above the limit of 25fps |
| 40 | fluent - The game should run fluently as all known benchmarks are above the limit of 35fps |
| may run fluently - A slower graphics card achieved playable framerates and there are no benchmarks for this card. Therefore, this faster card may be able to run the game fluently. | |
| 123 | unsure - Either the minimal achieved framerate was below the border, but still the average was above, or a slower card achieved playable framerates but this one not. |
| unsure - A slower card was flagged as unsure and there are no benchmarks for this card. | |
| The value in the fields displays the average framerate of all values in the database. Move you mouse over the value to see the single results. | |
