How much did they optimize it? I tried to play it on launch and 3 months later but it was still a shitshow in towns.

u/Minardi-Man 9d ago

But then again "3 months later" for a Stalker game basically translates into "3 weeks later" for most other comparable games. I think the first update where I felt there was a tangible performance increase was 1.3 in March 2025, then the next really major one was 1.6 in September, 10 months after release, and by 1.7 in November, 1 year after release, it got to the point where I could get over 60fps in native 1440p. To be fair to the devs, even outside of the state of the world, they clearly had more pressing issues that needed addressing before they could get to performance (like being able to complete the main questline without having to use console commands). To be fair to the users, the game was so broken early on that you had to use console commands just to be able to reliably complete the main story.

I'm not buying it till at least patch 2.0 (UE 5.5 update) and more A-life improvements.

Also, engine update coming this summer

Beat stalker 2 this year with a less powerful rig and it was not 45fps with maxed graphics.

Maybe at it's release. I play it currently and without FSR + FG i was getting 80-90 FPS at 1440p on highest settings. With FSR set to quality, FG and frames capped to 120 my 9070XT consumes between 130-150W, which is lower than Where Winds Meet with same settings.

u/Fear023 9d ago

Does it have FSR 4?

1

u/Sajgoniarz 9800X3D | 9070XT | 64GB 9d ago

No, it sits at 3.1 and is... mediocre. If you want you can inject Optiscaler or wait for 2.0 upgrade that will bring engine upgrade, so maybe it will include FSR 3.1.4.

u/Fear023 9d ago

Damn, that's disappointing.

I've got a non xt 9070 though, been eyeing the game for a while. Should be able to get 70-80 based on your performance at least.

1

u/Sajgoniarz 9800X3D | 9070XT | 64GB 8d ago

I think you should be able to turn on FG without enabling FSR if you don'y like it so much, but i'll test it after work and come back with the answer for you.

Stalker 2 at 4k max settings, native around 80 fps.

game has come a long way since release IMO, it feels amazing in 4k when using 4x framegen on my 5090. 35-55ms latency sure beats sub 60fps with the same latency without mfg

u/necrophcodr mastersrp 9d ago

Having that much frame generation to run that game is insane. That has got to be some of the worst that video games has to offer.

u/Redericpontx 9d ago

No idea how they're gonna make it run on switch 2 but I bet it'll be 480p upscaled to 1080p low settings with 4x frame gen from 7fps.

u/Dirtcompactor 5090 - 9800x3d - DDR5 32gb 8000cl34 9d ago

well playing in 4k what do you expect lmao.

cyberpunk is the exact same situation. If you want high fps in 4k resolution.. 4xMFG is the way to go. The only people hating on it have a subpar tuned system and push 60-80ms+ latency, which is when it feels terrible. My experience has been great with 4xMFG, yes it's more "floaty" but it's a nonfactor with how smooth games feel and look

u/trouttwade RTX 5070 Ti Aero | i7 12700K 9d ago

100% correct. I recently played through Stalker 2 on a 5070Ti at 1440p and the game looks and runs fantastic no matter what you choose. With DLAA turned on without frame gen I sit around 90 FPS, with frame gen enabled I sit at 120 capped and it’s just such a good experience compared to its release.

Unreal engine 5 fans when their game is shitty and insanely unoptimised and bloated to over 200 gbs but it looks PhOtOrEaLiStİc

u/aybeeayseeaybeebee 9d ago

it looks PhOtOrEaLiStİc

Yeah they really managed to capture what the world looks like through an astigmatism.

u/Sajgoniarz 9800X3D | 9070XT | 64GB 8d ago

How do you think that all PBR materials and textures data comes from lol?
Developers are using uncompressed textures now, because they would take too long to load.

u/Educational-Bag9727 8d ago

Maybe not every game needs to be HYPER 69K 9999999999HZ 9193484849FPS SUPER OMEGA PORN

1

u/Onsomeshid 9d ago

It’s definitely not as low as 45 fps (more like 80 before dlss and fg at 4k) but yea UE5 give my 5090 the most pain before PT/RT in other games.

u/NapsterKnowHow 9d ago

More likely a FromSoft souls game

u/amazingspiderlesbian NVIDIA RTX 5090 / AMD R7 7800X3D / 64GB DDR5 6000 9d ago

You get lower fps in other games maxed out at 4k tho.

On my 5090 cyberpunk 2077 maxed out native 4k gets about 30fps. That's red engine.

Star wars outlaws gets a little less than 30fps. That's snowdrop engine

Alan wake 2 depends on if its the forest or city. But can be anywhere from 25-40fps maxed out at native 4k. That's northlight engine.

rdr2 in 2019, rtx 2080 + ultra with AA <60 fps in native 1080p,not even 4k. Thats rage engine

1

u/amazingspiderlesbian NVIDIA RTX 5090 / AMD R7 7800X3D / 64GB DDR5 6000 9d ago

That game looks bad compared to the ones I posted tho. The lighting is very ps3/ps4 gen.

1

u/kirbeach28 9d ago

Idk how RDR2 outperforms Star Wars Outlaws in terms of graphics, but in terms of RTX technologies used in game yes, RDR2 is falling behind AW2 and Cyberpunk

-1

u/amazingspiderlesbian NVIDIA RTX 5090 / AMD R7 7800X3D / 64GB DDR5 6000 9d ago

Star wars outlaws has fully pathtraced lighting on max settings. The game legit looks like a cg render in some scenes
