When real FPS differs
CPU. In Metro: Last Light a weak CPU limits FPS regardless of the graphics card — especially at 1080p.
Graphics settings. The table is for High settings. Dropping to Medium raises FPS by 20–40%.
Upscaling. DLSS/FSR/XeSS raise FPS by 30–70% with minimal quality loss.
Game version. Patches and engine updates change performance.
