The Metro franchise may not have the weight of other FPS darlings like Unreal and Doom but it has made itself a part of the scene with it’s engaging story and fun gameplay. The latest game in the series, Metro: Last Light, aims to up the ante on all of the above, including PC graphics. Already hailed by critics as one of the best looking PC games, Metro: Last Light, tells the story of a post-apocalyptic Moscow where people live underground in the tunnels of the metro/subway system. Despite not even have a pot to piss in, humanity always finds a way to fight. 4A Games has released the PC system requirements for the much anticipated Metro: Last Light.

Note: Optimum is talking about 2560x, max DirectX 11 game settings with full-res fullscreen effects, DirectX 11 object and environment tessellation, 2048×2048 textures, and hardware PhysX effects. The game is highly optimized, allowing 4A to run all that stuff simultaneously at such a high resolution on one TITAN, two 670s, two 680s, or one 690. If it weren’t optimized that would be impossible.
The requirements for Metro: Last Light become pretty monumental towards the end there, but it’s not without good reason. 4A Games emphasizes that their 4A Engine is heavily optimized, offering far better performance than previous iterations.
