Can I run Metro Redux?

[Xanatos357]

So, the Metro series just went on sale on Steam and I was wondering if I would be able to run Metro 2033 Redux on my laptop or if I should just get the original.

My laptop specs:

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4700MQ CPU @ 2.40GHz
GPU: GeForce GT 740M
8Gb of RAM
OS: Windows 8.1

Yes you can, but not with very high details or resolution. Metro 2033 Redux is significantly more demanding then the original version. I would say 1366x768 at medium details with no AA, PhysX, V-Sync or motion blur should do okay.

The original is great fun. But Redux is more then just graphics upgrade. It is environmental and gameplay upgrades. The world is more open and whole elements of the environment has been replaced, as well as the ability to play Ranger and Spartan mode for increased difficulty.

i thought the original one is lot more demanding than redux. with redux they applied the optimization that they have done with last light to 2033. game play wise i don't know what changes has been made to 2033 in redux.
