Ah, so another garbage optimised game that relies on the crutch of "frame gen" to hide its trash optimisation even on gpu's released in the last 3 years

And people will still say this heap of optimised garbage is good lmao

what exactly is wrong with framegen? please elaborate without using arguments that were relevant 2 years back

I dont believe they are saying there is anything wrong with FG. Just that the game is hiding behind these tricks to make up for its poor native performance.

However, its not out yet and we wont know how performance will be for many. But being that the settings are maxed. Itll show lower FPS obviously. Even though we all know going from High to Ultra makes no difference in almost all games and that the cost in performance is too great for no difference in visual quality. Its just marketing hype.

Leaving tinfoil hats aside, considering that we're talking about absolute max settings, the game doing stable 60fps at 1440p with a 4070 super without DLSS is honestly fine and in-line with every other games that's quite well optimized.

Good FPS
This is about maximum settings and different resolutions
Maybe you didn't see everything on the site?

Especially at 1080p resolution, with DLSS turned off, the performance of the RTX 4060 and RTX 4060 is quite bad. At 1440p, the performance of the RTX 4060Ti is very bad.

The 4060 is a bad card for gaming to begin with.

Even going back to GTX 900 days, if you wanted to game, your options were: 970, 980, 1070, 1080, 2070, 2080, 3070, 3080, 4070, 4080, etc.

That hasn't changed, the 70 and 80 are for gaming on very high settings at stable FPS. the 60 series is budget and it will never even come close to 70 and 80 series.

Given how the game looks, these numbers aren't a surprise at all, it's pretty much in line with what I was expecting.

If the game supports Ray Tracing, which it very likely does, that thing alone will slash your FPS in half easily.

Tweak settings, disable ray tracing, and you'll likely be pulling 60fps at 1440p with a 4060ti just fine without any sort of framegen.

I thought frame gen wasn't supposed to be enabled unless the base framerate is 60+? Not one of these with 4k max settnigs has that.

Partially incorrect.

You need 60fps for framegen to work correctly, however, you can enable DLSS, which is not framegen, to get 60fps or above, and then enable framegen which is a separate feature and it will work just fine.

There is nothing wrong with framegen, especially because there is no input lag anymore really.

People just love to complain that their outdated hardware is no longer being catered to by devs.

Thank you for posting them Napoleon Solo ! It's an important test for many, on my side I couldn't hope better :)

Surprisingly bad optimization on 1080p. Hope AMD will be better. But I started (not playing) the build long time before, so it not that bad. I not like DLSS or FSR because they blurred entire scene, and you noticed upscale textures in real time. I have poor RX6800M but it allows me set ultra on every game. So hopefully 60 fps for me)

According to the benchmark the recommended spec pc for stalker2 can't get 60fps native @1080p, it needs super sampling/framegen.

How is that wanting catered to outdated tech?

Industry is a mess.

The recommended spec was never at any point in time for any game in any year meant to serve as a benchmark for the performance you'll get on absolute maximum settings.

That is true today and it was true even 20 years ago.

Drop the settings from maximum, disable ray tracing, and you'll do 60fps @1080p natively just fine.

52 fps on 4090 without fake frames(dlss 3) aahahha omg, what a joke. Imagine right now how performance dropped down when they add ray tracing.

Its on UE5, it has LUMEN. Enough with all the Ray Tracing nonsense

[Cheyenesku]

Dont believe NVIDIA's official anything - this is just marketing. They always said 30xx and 20xx cant support FrameGen which was proven false many times.

Are you sure they used DLSS quality and not performance mode?

Says it right in the title that its using Quality mode. It than lists PC specs and Win 11 on same line.

Only one is 4K. That is set to performance.

Aaaah thank you. I only looked at the 4k one, cause I am not interested in using anything lower.

FPS is very bad with DLSS turned off, which is not good for Nvidia.

And its supposed to be better for Intel and AMD? Nvidia has the most powerful GPU around, nothing is gonna be better if that's what they get at 4k also that is at all max settings in the test. IRL you adjust it to your rigs specs. I am happy with what they have done, keep in mind they are doing this in a warzone.

[Wizzard]

how is the 1080ti, which is part of the recommended system requirements?

[Thel_Vadamee94]

ok, but the 3000 series?

Its good for 4k
fullhd - 85

Agreed. 4090 here and I’m quite happy with this performance at 4k.

[sebsN]

I am not a tech guy, so here’s a question for people who might know this better than me:
Assuming these results from Nvidia are true, do you think with a 4080 I can expect a stable 80 FPS at 4k with max settings + DLSS Quality (!) mode + FG?
