    If it's maxed out, then yeah. You can't really max out metro on this machine.

    And yet there are vids on Youtube that show it on M14x at 30-45 FPS if I'm not mistaken, and it looked really good.

    Those videos are seldom accurate. Unfortunately the game is devoid of optimisation. You're probably looking at medium settings at 1600x900, or a mixture of medium and high at 1366x768.

    Personally I don't care for the game. Give me Stalker any day of the week.

    I have a video of Metro 2033 running maxed. I play on Ultra at 1366x768 on DX9 mode and AA/AF on lowest with a stable 30fps or so. You can see it on my youtube

    I just use high performance and an overclock of 765/1080
