Yeah, full setting in MEtro 2033 is asking for trouble even if you have the Fermi 480.
You turn off AA, put detail on high(not very high) and maybe set resolution to 1680x1050 if need be and you should be getting high 30s in resolution with a GTX460 or an ATI equivalent.
I have found a perfect set up with a GTX295 where everything is still set to high, no AA and my res is 1700x900 something and I am getting 50-80 fps depending on if its indoor, outdoor, mask on, mask off...etc.
In any case, anyon getting a PC should get as fast of a CPU as possible and a good DX11 card. A lot of games, applications and emulators are not quad core optimized and when you have a 2.6 ghz dual core CPU, it really doesn't work well.
Unless you have a 3.4 ghz or higher you can say bye bye to Dolphn Wii emulator for example :)

Personally I find that heavy graphics settings don't usually add signficantly to games. I have a 5870 but I switch between that and a 5750 for the same games and it hardly changes a thing for me. Generallly now I just run fraps for 5 mins and tune the settins so I get 50 or so FPS in the early part of the game and leave it at that.

I so freaking agree.
There's not even a big difference between the same games on Xbox 360 as on highest settings on my PC such as GTA4, Fallout 3, Assassin's Creed, Bad Company, Oblivion, Dragon Age, Resi 5, Dead Space and Far Cry 2. Although I have "only" a Radeon 4850.

Having a game run 60 fps makes a huge difference...
I'm ok with medium-high visual detail and no aa (it still looks better than PS360 versions of the game most of the time) however having a game run 60 fps makes it so much better than console versions which always tend to be locked at 30.
