Tool: Download Patched Metro 2033 Benchmark

How to Download and Use the Metro 2033 Benchmark Tool

• VRAM overheating (artifacting)
• Power delivery throttling
• Unstable overclocks (driver crashes)

Unlike modern benchmarks (like 3DMark Time Spy) which run for 90 seconds, the Metro 2033 loop runs for roughly 3-4 minutes of heavy combat and scene changes. It is excellent for detecting:

• Resolution – up to 4K (depends on GPU)
• DirectX – 9, 10, 11
• Quality – Low, Medium, High, Very High
• Texture filtering – 4x, 8x, 16x AF
• Anti‑aliasing – MSAA (2x/4x), AAA
• Tessellation – On/Off (critical for DX11 performance)

• Install DirectX End-User Runtime (June 2010) to fix missing DLLs.
• Disable Fullscreen Optimizations in Properties > Compatibility.
• Set PhysX to CPU or GPU manually in NVIDIA Control Panel, as modern drivers sometimes misinterpret the legacy calls.
