Metro Exodus: ideal SA build at R25,000 needs a practical check before you shortlist anything. Compare fit, compatibility, warranty support, timing, and total setup balance for South African buyers.
Quick answer: Metro Exodus is genuinely demanding, so at R25,000 centre the build on the RTX 4060 Ti 8GB and a strong CPU. An RTX 4060 manages 60 fps at 1080p with ray tracing on; for 1440p RT Ultra you want an RTX 4070 or better.
At R25,000, buys the jump to comfortable 1440p. A sensible spec list:
The 4A Engine likes fast memory, so pair a Ryzen 5 7600 with 32GB DDR5-6000 for the Enhanced Edition. All of these parts are the kind of components currently stocked at Evetech, so you can match the rig to what is actually in stock rather than a wishlist.
Metro Exodus, especially its Enhanced Edition with full ray tracing, is one of the more demanding titles on this list. An RTX 4060 manages 60 fps at 1080p with ray tracing on; for 1440p RT Ultra you want an RTX 4070 or better.
Turning on ray tracing or pushing to 4K will roughly halve these figures, so use upscaling (FSR or DLSS) on Quality mode to claw back 30-40% performance with little visible loss.
Yes, this is a demanding title. An RTX 4060 is the practical floor for 1080p; for 1440p Ultra you want an RTX 4060 Ti, RX 7700 XT or stronger.
An RTX 4060 manages 60 fps at 1080p with ray tracing on; for 1440p RT Ultra you want an RTX 4070 or better. Pair it with a matching high-refresh monitor to actually feel those frames.
Yes for a 1080p/1440p build. R25,000 buys the jump to comfortable 1440p. You can step the GPU up or down a tier to match exactly what is in stock at Evetech.

For a stable RTX 5070 starting point, use 1440p, the High preset, Ray Tracing Medium and DLSS Balanced, then measure the base frame rate before adding Frame Generation. Path tracing is a separate showcase mode, not the default.
HKC's 27-inch Shield 27Q560 runs QHD at 560Hz or 1280 x 720 at up to 1060Hz. The headline rate is specialised: resolution, sustained frame rate, ports and eventual South African support decide whether it is useful.
G.Skill's Trident Z5 Royal NeoX range pairs DDR5-6000 with timings from CL36 down to CL26 and adds an AMD EXPO ULL profile. Buyers still need a supported CPU, motherboard and BIOS before treating the lowest timing as guaranteed.
Diablo 4 HDR settings work best after Windows and the display are calibrated, then the game's black point, brightness and white point are adjusted in that order. Use visible shadow detail and controlled highlights, not copied values from another screen.
The best HOTAS for Elite Dangerous is a separate stick-and-throttle set with enough analogue axes for pitch, roll, yaw and thrust, plus local support. Evetech's captured flight-simulation sample lists the complete Logitech X56 at R4,999.
Nintendo Switch 2 docked VRR arrives with system version 23.0.0 and also requires a dock update. The connected TV or monitor and the running software must support VRR before the output can follow changing frame rates.
The Alienware AW3926QW is a 38.9-inch 5120 x 2160 OLED monitor that runs at 165Hz or 2560 x 1080 at 330Hz. Dell lists it at $1,099.99 in the US, while South African price and availability remain unconfirmed.
Steam Big Art Mode enlarges library artwork in Big Picture Mode and on Steam Deck, while the same beta adds configurable screensavers. Both features are optional and currently require the Steam beta client.
The best CPU for Roblox is a modern processor with strong per-core performance and enough platform headroom for the graphics card and other tasks. Roblox's minimum requirement is only a compatibility floor, not a sensible new-build target.
A QD-OLED text fringing fix cannot change the panel's physical subpixel layout, but correct scaling, native resolution, font tuning and viewing distance can reduce how visible the colour edges appear.
The Wallhack M-001 mouse uses a 53g magnesium shell, an 8000Hz wireless link and two hot-swappable batteries. Its $189.99 price is not a South African quote, so compare shape, support and the complete local cost.
