Bad FPS with Ryzen 9 3950X and a RTX 3080

[Pokezodia]

Tried everything, but still get low GPU usage, and sub 50 fps. Running a 3440 x 1440 monitor. Wrong aspect ratio at startup too...RAM running at 3600MHZ. Anyone with the same issue?

UPDATE: so, i bought a Ryzen 9 5900X and it seems the issue went away. There is something about Ryzen 3000, other than lower IPC and higher clock speeds, that really under performs in this game. I can play it at least 60+ all the time at 3440 x 1440. Bottom line, this game is pretty bad optimized at a CPU level for sure. Good luck for those fighting the lower GPU usage in this game...

So i disabled SMT, no changes at all...everything is up to date, but still, poor performance. This game is a mess, even the original one. Shame, i love metro.

Sounds like a 3000 series issue. My 2070 Super has this maxed out and I am getting 50-60FPS @4K

DLSS 2.0 is a godsend.

Have you updated to the latest drivers for the enhanced version?

RTX 3090 here, standard -FOV, no motion blur, everything else maxed out @1440p, DLSS Quality. Mostly between 70 and 100 FPS. So I wouldnt think theres a 3000-series-issue

Hi there. I just wanted to know your experiences with the game. I've just build a new pc with Ryzen 9 3950x, 32gb 3200MHz RAM and rtx 3090, previously I played on i7 6700k and rtx 2080ti. Unfortunately, Metro Exodus seems to run rather poorly on my new rig while other games run maxed out with 99% GPU usage.

I have 2 monitors hooked up to rtx 3090 - one 43 inch 4k and the other 49'' 5120*1440 one. On the 4k one the game runs well up to Volga map at ultra rtx ultra but then in that level it only uses 60-70% GPU and drops FPS to 45-50 in many spots. In Sam's Story dlc it is even worse because it plummets to 35-40... If I decrease quality to high it rises to over 60 FPS but this cpu should be powerful enough to handle the game.

On the 32:9 monitor the game looks stunning but chugs even more abysmally as no matter the settings it can't break 40 FPS with low GPU ultilisation.

I'm at a loss. I wanted to play this game so badly in all its graphical glory and waited for enhanced edition but I'm so disappointed now. I even thought Epic store version was to blame that is why I bought it again on Steam but there's no difference...

All my other cpu intensive games run flawlessly with 99% gpu utilisation like AC Origins, AC Odyssey, GR Wildlands and Breakpoint or Watch Dogs Legion to name a few but Metro Exodus even in Enhanced Edition still struggles... I hoped they would optimise it this time after all its not a open world game with tonnes of npcs and vehicles or other players. And don't tell me that Ryzen 9 3950x is aweal obsolete cpu... The only fix I have found so far is to run the game with high settings instead of ultra or extreme in those troublesome spots but it is still a half measure.

That's why I never go for AMD becuse there is always a CPU related problem. Same thing happened in CP2077, now in Metro and in other titles as well. Intel has no such problems in any game, everything works out of the box. My 10900k smashes through every single game so far, wouldn't trade it for any AMD CPU when it comes to specifically gaming.

i get around 140 fps on a 3600X and 3080 on max settings with VRS 0 and DLSS quality.

I've never had problems with CP2077 and previously I had intel cpu clocked at 5GHz yet in Metro Exodus I had similar issues. Even Digital Foundry had a video where they were showing in Volga level drops under 60fps with both top of the line Intel and Amd cpus only the latest 5950x seemed to power through.

RTX 3080 i9-990k. FPS is capping out at 60FPS. Has never gone above. GPU is running at 50%.

Turn off VSYNC.

Its because 2000/3000 series Ryzen have much lower singlecore performance than Intel 10/11th gen or Ryzen 5000.

I had a r5 2600 which bottlenecked my 3080 like mad, so I switched to a 3800X and it still bottlenecked in games like Cyberpunk. Moved to a 5800X and everything is great.

Maybe you haven't but most people did have big cpu related issues with AMD cpus, it's a well known problem that many articles covered. Also, I didn't experience any bottlneck or drops below 60fps in Volga level on my i9, I'm really curious about that DF video, post it if you find it.

[Ripman81]

Hi, i get the same issue in Volga map, works fine by disable resizable bar in bios. Now get at least 98% gpu usage, before drops to 50% when i look to the church.
RTX 3080, 5900x

Which only seems to confirm the fact that metro Exodus is still a very unoptimised game. I get that it needs beefy gpu for all that rtx candy and I think it pushes the envelope in terms of ray tracing prowess but don't tell me that ryzen 3950x is a weak cpu... It should have enough single core performance for this game and the fact that a game in 2021 is so single core performance dependent is just ridiculous. It's like justifying Crysis Remastered that it needs an insanely powerful cpu because it has amazing graphics... Obviously Metro devs cannot use the power of multitcore cpus.

By the way I reinstalled the game once more and this time in Volga I manage to get that 60 fps vsynced at ultra preset with ultra rtx but the Sam's Story dlc still drops to 45 fps right after start when you look into the distance at the bridge. Let me stipulate though it only runs well now on my 4k monitor (regardless off dlss setting or even off I get 99% gpu usage) but trying to run at 5120x1440 32:9 on my second one results in abysmal performance with terrible gpu utilisation on Volga map. This was also the case on the original Metro Exodus version unless I switched to dx 11 then the gpu usage climbed back to full but that cannot be done in Enhanced Edition for all I know as it only has dx12 I guess to make use of rtx effects

Take a look at this...i tried DDU, no good.

Judging by this screenshot that was posted here earlier, this game uses a ridiculous amount of threads. It doesn't seem to be single core performance dependent. There is probably some other reason for this bad performance.

Yet, 32 threads is not enought...i dont know man, this is some serious optimization issue. But, as we know, they will not fix this crap. So, or we do play it as it is, or jus move forward. I opted for the second option.

[manny.aceman]

It's smooth on my 5950x, GTX 3080, 4k everything Ultra. Original Metro Exodus worked fine with 3900x.

Try doing a full install of video drivers. Maybe verify the integrity of the game install?

Well, even on a RTX 2060 mobile the game is playable (1080p 60fps)...but, there's clearly something wrong. Everytime i boot up the game FPS is around 55 or less (Taiga). Then, i switch any graphical setting available on the Settings Menu (like RT Quality, for example) and the game stops, loads the new assets and then framete goes up, like 75 or above and stays mostly above 60...but i have to do this everytime i boot up the game, otherwise i won't be able to play it properly. Also, i can't enable vsync or else FPS stays at the lower 50s...i don't know what the ♥♥♥♥ is going. So it's playable but only with vsync disabled and i had to change at least one setting related to graphics everytime i boot the game. Quite annoying.
