- Check the video description, I'll keep it updated everytime I find something that works. And if you have good tips lemme know I'll pin them here. - Gimme real A-life and Better Perfs so I can die happy plz - I've been too harsh wish FSR framegen, it's actually pretty good BUT you need at least a 60fps baseline for it to shine - ACTUALLY, the mod I'm mentioning in the video (Stalker Optimizer) seems to work, kinda. I had to manually clear my cache and restart my computer to force the game to fully recompile, and it runs a bit smoother (~2 fps gain, but more importantly lower frametime averages, so it feels less stuttery). The cache is in "C:\Users\"user name"\AppData\LocalLow\NVIDIA\PerDriverVersion\DXCache"
NO Mods or Tweak and decide to try something different what i did is i turn on FSR3 and DLSS - Performance - i get good perfomance in my game and the game looks good here my settings are like this i5 10600kf - RTX 3060 12gb - FPS 72 to 144 ( i dont know if this is part of the settings i have or not but the game used 21gb of Rams so careful and remember you may need to tweak more the game for me this settings work really good) 1080p Medium graphics Textures details - high (you choose high or lower) antialiasing - off Reflextion - low DLSS - Performance FSR 3 - Enable
I have the same graphics card as Cheeki Breeki and am gaming on a laptop as well (i7-12700H, so a smidge better than his setup). I often feel like as long as it's a laptop I'm playing on, regardless of it being a "gaming" kind of laptop, it's going to be crappy. I've more or less made my peace with it. Still, it's kind of frustrating that games aren't expected to run decently (note: "decently", not even "well" or "brilliantly") nowadays unless you have a 4080 or a 4090. I'm hoping for a performance patch from GSC like everyone else.
nah dude i just got my shit asss potato PC from nasa, they didn't need their super secret RTX 9999 anymore but damn my game runs like crap because potato pc :D
I'll probably do a full, extensive guide at some point, but after we get a couple optimization patches, right now it's more some bandaids while waiting for them!
This is the only optimization guide, that has actually made a difference for me. Game feels better to play with less stutters, frame drops and vram shortages. NPCs still tank fps though, that's for the devs to fix.
One correction, Frame Generation didn't look disgusting due to you not using the intended upscaler, you can use any and it will be fine so long as you have at the least 60 fps as a baseline before FG. It's why you saw those visual distortions and you've definitely had a ton of input lag added as well. Running it at 55 to about 60 FPS here and FG really smooths things out, it's not perfect but it is perfect playable and enjoyable.
Thanks for the corrections, that's actually good to know! Not sure i'll ever reach the 60fps baseline to fully experience it, but one can hope if we get decent optimizations in the future.
Can confirm this, Framegen "only" works for settings that already deliver at least 60fps and IMPORTANT it will EAT your VRAM. So if your card is already struggling (8gb at 1080p is already almost capped) it will make the game slower/less smooth because of constant RAM swapping.
The second optimization mod you linked in the description (the one you didn't try) comes highly recommended from many people. I saw people saying the other optimization mods did nothing for them, but that one really helped. Your mileage may vary, obviously. It seemed to give me better performance and frame times overall but slightly worse performance in Zalissya.
Out of all the guides I've looked up so far, this one was by far the best. My FPS generally stayed between 50-60 and only dipped below that when entering a new area and the first town. That being said, it's far from perfect as I still experience stutters and even when it shows I have 60 FPS, it doesn't feel like I actually do. This is something that others pointed out in their reviews prior to release and I hope the devs can put out some optimization patches ASAP.
FSR upscaler + FSR image gen is what saved my playthrough. It gives such a generous amount of extra FPS that I needed to feel immersed. I went from 45-55 FPS on low quality, to 65-90 on medium quality. It does give some input lag, which is worse the lower your baseline FPS is (FPS before enabling FSR image gen), but I'd rather get used to playing with that than trying to feel immersed in a slideshow.
My AMD brothers! Go into adrenaline, and turn on Frame Rate Target Control to fix the mouse input lag!! It still feels a tiny bit sluggish but its so much better. Also, in case that doesn't work on its own, I'm also in Fullscreen with ingame vsync off and enhanced sync turned on in Adrenaline. Good luck Stalkers
I do not comment videos a lot but this one helped me a lot. I've switched to DLSS, added Steam launch options and enabled NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency and now I have pretty stable ~50-60 FPS on my laptop 4070 with very rare freezes and only in camp. and some ini files changes I've done before that are in this video also.
@@NoMusicTheory its not about the game its unreal engine 5 killing the game industry cause its a new engine and devs are not really used to it plus its demanding cause of reflection and real time shadows that we players don't even care about :) but yeah more lights and shit lmao
Thank you so much for your time and effort. Frames have improved a tiny bit, however the changes to the mouse input lag, acc etc is truly a game changer. guns feel so much less clunky.
Thank you! I have a 3050 and after putting the game on DLSS the game looks and preforms better! I don't know how many fps I run at but it feels and looks better than FSR
Privet Cheeki Stalker , Just here to say that Grok and his squad are already (yes now) covering stalker 2 , they got some 'must have' mods (for exemple mutant less spongebullet, mouse input lag etc) to have for quality perf and game balancing. I suppose you already now that, but theyr discord are a gold mine. See you in the zone. (P.S: Having a blast to , but sometimes , even with or without mods i got rare memory leaks, and oooooo'boi , when it's happen , i have to go back at the start menu and reload... no choice.)
Yes I've been using his lower HP mutants mod! So far that's the only thing I found necessary. I'm playing on Stalker difficulty and haven't been bothered by the economy, repair cost, carry weight etc.. I find it pretty much in line with the OG games.
@@CheekiBreekiTv Longer days is imho a must have too. First time in Zalissya when I entered the bar in the afternoon, when exiting after the little cutscene with Zatov it was almost pitch dark outside. Big immersion killer.
@@kris33451 the unfortunate reality is that most games launch in a early access state nowadays, Microsoft stepping in, as good as it was, probably had alot to do with the overall state of the game, It feels like it got gutted for Xbox.
I did the same thing. I made it to the first village and I think I'm gonna chill there for a while and wait for some hot fixes. I might do some side missions or something just for kicks, but I'm not going to advance the main story until I see some improvements.
My man! Thanks for doing this video. My computer crashes at the complation screen with a BSOD. Been trying every which way to fix but I think it has to deal with the intel Xeon 79 chipset. I will give these tips a shot and see if I can finally play! Thanks again 😊
@ I’ve been looking but to no avail. Pretty much waiting on the patch that is coming. I believe it has something to do with DX 12 on specific chipset but can’t confirm. Try changing to dx11 and see if it can at least boot. If it can, that is good. Then just wait for patches to fix dx12.
Frame gen is best when working with a 60fps base on a 120hz VRR display. Native frames may dip into the 40s but it'll still feel smooth. If you can't get anywhere near a consistent 60fps, and are on a 60hz display, it's actually better to cap to 30 and frame gen up to 60, than letting the FPS run unlocked in the 20-60 range because that'll look choppy as hell. Frame delivery consistency is key.
Yeah I’m not usually a fan of frame gen because of the latency but for all the many problems Stalker 2 has right now frame gen works amazing for me in the 40-60 base FPS range on my 2080ti, 1440p high. I get around 80-100 FPS and frame times feel way smoother than without frame gen, not just higher frame rates.
The only thing that can save this game is not a patch, its a miracle,never in all my life i saw a game run bad like this,developers have to learn to use unreal engine 5 properly, i swear in the latest 3 years games run worst than potato pc trying to run aaa games in the past like 20 years
My rig is a Ryzen 7800X3D system with RTX 4070 Super and 32 GB DDR5 6000. I'm running it in Epic settings at 1440p and averaging 120-145 fps when walking through the environment. Performance is great for the most part and not a single crash as of 29 hours. I'm very happy, the game is great.
thanks so much for the config info. I couldn't believe the amount of input lag i was feeling, totally unplayable with frame gen even with 7900xtx,, felt like controlling a drunk character with sea sickness on a boat. this totally fixed it and made this game playable!!
Merci mon ami, de quoi arpenter une fois de plus la zone dans de bonnes conditions. Continue de nous régaler, merci pour ce travail c'est toujours un plaisir de partager cette passion pour la zone =)
Good video, gonna try some things you mentioned. I run it capped at 38 fps with Riva, with no upscaling, at 95% render. Game feels very good, its the way I use to run OG Stalker with tons of mods in my old setup.
I actually wanted to try different settings with no upscaling to see the results but convinced myself it would be a waste of time. Care to share your settings in more details? I'm curious now!
@@CheekiBreekiTv mostly same settings as you, since my setup is a bit weak (r5 3600, 6650xt, 32gb ddr4 and HDD install). I capped at 38 because was a number I could achieve. No FG, no upscaler. Gonna fire it up right now and check in detail what setting Im using. I love you content, big fan
@@CheekiBreekiTv It took so long to compile shaders lol. Diffs in my config are: Effects: Med, Sharpness: 20%- Clouds:Med, Sky:Med, Foliage:low, Draw Distance:Far. I will try your settings today
That's why I waiting for new gen of cards to upgrade my 1070 and get nice expirience from this title. Thank you, you do good for all of the people by this!
Good tips and did that input lag script fix some time ago, its really a good one. One another thing many people miss to do is go to Nvidia control panel, select shader cache size and select 10gb or 100gb (10gb should be enough for most people). This will drastically shorten your time caching shaders when the game starts and also improves the whole game (removing stutters etc) how it runs after this change :)
Im a 9900k and 2080ti (cutting edge 2019) and FSR has fixed the game for me so thanks. On balanced im getting a little lag but totally fine to deal with and 80-90fps in populated zones with everything set to epic.
Getting good results on my 2070 Super with DLSS set to balanced and frame gen on. The game still stutters when entering camps, but it's pretty smooth out in the open world.
Hoping for the best! Stalker 2 should be done installing in a few hours.. I have a 1060 3GB so I am certainly gonna have some struggles with it. The minimum requirements show a 1060 6GB...
THANK YOU, this game is holding most of my hard drive hostage and I haven’t been able to even run the opening scene well, let alone the game 😭 if this works I’ll post my specs and results! ✌🏼
i don't use a laptop and i have no issues but i still want to say that if there was a standard for helping out people with settings, this would be the example for a lot of RUclipsrs. thanks!
i have a strong amd card and native with only framegen does it for me. Everything on high (textures on epic) and native 1440p gets me 60 fps. when framegen has a lot of base fps to work with and a lot of detail (no detail lost by upscaling) it works really well
The only issue I have is the temporary lag and stutters at hub areas and some POIs. Other than that, I was able to get a mostly stable 60 FPS just by running at 1280 x 720 with frame gen, TSR performance (mainly to have consistant AO shadows which TAA and the other upscalers messes up), 80 resolution scale, and have everything but textures set to low (could run actually run some settings between med-high but I just want to make sure I don't stress my system). The game still looks good despite the settings which only makes me question why the need for hi-fi graphics if you don't see too much of a practical diffirence except shadows, reflections, and foliage along with worst FPS even if you ran a supercomputer from the sound of things.
So thanks bro work for me i have too modified engine. + STEAM Launcher Option ecc finally i got up 70/100 fps stable and my setup is Gaming Laptop with rtx 3050 4gVram 32gb Ram intel i5 11th run very quiet now Thanks again. ❤
I'm so glad I upgraded my PC before playing this. Without frame generation turned on using DLSS performance, settings on High, I'm getting on average 70 fps. With frame generation on, bumps that up to over 120-140. Ryzen 9700x, 64GB RAM, 3080. The 3080 is the only part brought over from the old build.
Based on the builds I've seen others use, even with 40 series and still running into low fps, yours having a whopping 64gb ram seems to be the variable. Maybe RAM is really the bottleneck and not totally gpu despite what most might assume.
Hey man. great video as always. Question? What are you using to capture the frame performance? Especially the frametime and average fps. Thank you. Keep up the videos. Can't wait for a STALKER 2 Ironman run.
If you have a good graphics card that can run the game, like a 4080, you should use DLAA + framgen plus the settings he shows in the video, maybe just up the texture quality. When your base framerate is between 50-70 the artifacting is not notice when new frames are generated.
Framegen works wonders, but only if you already have high fps (like above 60 at least). I have a 3080 and i tried high settings with framegen and the game felt and looked like sh*t. Lowered the settings until i found out the best combo for around 70-80 fps with dlss, then i turned on framegen and not only it doesn't look crap but also input lag is not that bad. You can still notice some weird behavior - mainly in the reflections or narrow distant objects, but i'd rather have that than lower framerate
I have a kinda beefy pc (playing on 4k because i dont have a 1080p monitor) (3080TI, 32 gb ram and so on.. pc is 2y old now) and im playing on mid-high and textures on epic settings. Game runs fine on dlss balanced, get about 60-50 fps (without frame generation) in open world and ofc dumps on me in settelments. But funny thing is whenever i go to a complex of apartements or any other open world location with bulidngs or an abandoned village game runs smooth, so basically game still needs some fixes and optimization. With frame generation i get about 90-70 fps in open world and ofc whenever im entering a settlement i get fps dumps to 45 fps (just for a sec) then it kinda lingers in around 65 fps to 55 fps range, depends on the settlement. Also a funny thing to mention i did put all my settings on epic and used dlss quality with frame generation and it played fine but there was quite a bit of input lagg, same problems with settlements with same fps dips, also its not healthy for the graphic card to push it like that so best play it safe for now and use safe settings configuration. Also im thinking about getting a 1080p monitor so i can set higher settings but im not sure if its worth it..
I have a 3050 laptop. You have a 3060 laptop. Your game still looks super good and you get like 49 fps. Is the 3050 really that bad? Cuz my game looks like mashed potatoes and blurry as hell. Or is it just an optimisation issue. Because as bad as the 3050 might be, my laptop runs most recent games decently. What do you think?
i also have 4gb 3050 and have same issues. 3050 is still great videocard but game requires mode than 6gb vram but most of the 3050 laptops has 4 that's makes the game unplayable. My next goal is change my laptop with 8gb 4060 now but in 3rd world country it's hard as staying alive in the zone without any firearm.
@@MilvuSe yah same here sadly my 4gb card is holding me back the cheaper option for me rn is just get xbox game pass ultimate and play it from the cloud
Yeah from what I read VRAM has a huge impact on how the game performs and the 4GB difference matters a lot, especially in big openworld games. Which settings are you running your game on rn?
These are basically all the same changes people recommend for Tarkov and I can tell you they won't give you much improvement, not even in Nvidia control panel. It's mostly all placebo.
so the dlss fixed me really good. if i can get my asss motivated i can replace a bios chip on my other laptop and have what you have. gen 11 and rtx 3060. thanks man
For us AMD boys framegen looks personally absolutely fine if you dont mind few artifacts here and there. If your option is to play on 40-50 fps without frame gen then i dont know what to say. I would rather go with framegen with slight input lag and enjoy on average 70-80 fps
Oh yeah I'm not worried, to be fair before release, looking at the min requirements, I was expecting to run the game at low/30fps (if at all), and I'm actually running medium-low at 40-50fps. It still needs a ton of optimization, but I can't complain. A-life is the biggest bummer so far, but i'll wait for the first few patches to see what happens (and if we need the pitchforks or not).
I’m running a lower end gaming laptop to yours and initially there was no issue it ran smooth at like 30/40FPS which I’m used to, but then all of a sudden I hit a barrier and the game would drop to 5FPS which made it unplayable, I couldn’t even get out of the the first bit with the scanners, I reinstalled the game last night through the xbox pass and managed to get past the first part and into the first town but it was so laggy in the first town like unplayable again, I just don’t understand 😂😂 people are saying memory leaks but a lot of people are still playing the game on a low end machine with no problems, it’s like the Microsoft pass version is super bugged compared to steam.
@@R-C-ONE Yeah I have this issue too in towns, during cinematics sometimes etc...less so with all the optimization but it still happens. Definitely a bug/leak or something. Generally pressing esc to open the main menu and wait 10-15s there solves it.
Idk what's going on with FSR frame gen on your end, for me it works perfectly. The only sign I can find is toggling crouch next to a railing which leaves a heavy "ghosting" effect behind the object. Other than that I couldn't tell whether it was ON or OFF. Really the only actual issue is input lag which is unfortunately a drawback of frame gen
I tweaked some settings on my 1650 laptop and the best for me was everything on low except AA being epic, FSR quality and with vsync on at 900p or 1080p. It gives nearly 30 to 35 fps (sometimes drops to 27s but its alright) which i clipped to 30. If it always runs like that it is i mean, playable. But after some time FPS drops to like one digit frames and turns into a slideshow until i reboot the game. i was suspecting of thermal throttle and tweaked my machine but after i saw some people with way higher rigs than me has the same problem, i think it has to be something with the optimization. I will wait for patches, hope it gets rid of that and at least makes it playable.
dude i booted it in my old pc, gtx 1080 i7 7700 16 ram played it on medium, and TSR ultra quality, and enabled FSR, it works with a big BUT, every time i loaded the from a save or approaching some settlements, my game freeze for a bit or my game works but all the asset and texture are not loaded ( you gotta wait for 5-20 seconds for all of it to be loaded)
@@dermit381 yeah i think so too, since my actual performance are not really that bad, its just the asset and texture loading time, whenever i load a save or just approached some buildings
I got a laptop with a 3080, tried to run it with your settings to see if i can finally get stable 60s but no, it actually runs worse than the medium/high settings i used to run. I love Stalker but omg i pray for performance updates this is so sad
3:00 You have the patience of a monk to record all of these and suffer thru endless *compiling shaders*. I'm also on a 3060 mobile and I recommend framegen but you need to edit a couple things: 1) have nvidia reflex on (in-game) 2) vsync to fast, low latency mode to on or ultra, power management to maximum performance (nvidia settings). With this you should not get input lag. I also recommend Ultimate Engine Tweaks (Nexus Mods). In settings, hair always to low and global illuminatino is a big resource hog so the lower the better.
dude, erm how do I say this, the second mod you have in the description is the one you want, installing it instantly removed all the input lag and almost doubled my framerate im running a desktop 3060 and I get the same frames as you with FSR FG off without the mod with the mod its in the 60s 70-s and with FSR FG its in the 90s to 120s, framegen for me isnt crazy with the framegen artifacts and I find your brain gets used to the weirdness of dark areas it kinda all melds together after a few hours and your eyes fix it automatically for you kinda like with motion blur in films
Using my i5-9600k and 3060, i run it at mostly medium, there are times it runs at 60fps no problem. But then lows to 45 or 27 at points when where is no graphical changes. The game wants to run well its just not optimised. I think the devs did this so they could release on time but had to increase the launch requirements like so. I know this example isnt the same but my system runs metro exodus on ultra RTX 1440p smoothly and its still one of the most stunning graphics ive ever seen.
Either metro exodus is the best optimized game in the world (I wouldn't know, haven't played it) or you got the luckiest silicone lottery 3060 ever. I have a 3060 12gb model with 5800x3d, 32gb ram, and there hasn't been a single game that does well with 1440p, much less with RTX AND ULTRA SETTINGS? Alright, I'm starting to think that most people simply don't know what good actually is, maybe it's true that MOST people (80%/20% rule) just don't see any improvement from 30ish-60ish fps, after that any performance improvement is lost on them. And then the 'lucky' few of us can benefit from higher refresh/fps counts... or unlucky because most games releasing now are releasing half-baked, so we only suffer from laggy, low fps experiences.
@K.S-w5s METRO has always been highly optimised (funny how Its a version of XRay engine). I remember playing Metro redux on a GT 720 and a pentium, and it ran amazing on high settings. Exodus is probably the best use if RTX to date and runs well, it even ran ultra on a 2060 I had before, but with the updated graphics last year it dipped but the 3060 handles it.
Are we gonna talk about why exactly the mouse smoothing and acceleration is not adjustable in game but is enabled by default even though every single bit of info I've seen on the game says it's awful, even my own experience? On a PC? Guess they got shellshock from the war.
I use TSR, because FSR produce a lot of ghosting and noice. Though TSR has some weird visual bug. It's hard to explain but when you look closely, you can see a weird weapon outline near the crosshair (middle screen). Dont know how to explain it properly.
@hannibalbarkas1350 fr. I've been playing with XeSS in this game, and it is way too better than FSR. I want to see if it is the latest version of XeSS, if not, I will try to replace the dll with a newer version.
I'm running on a 3060 6gb laptop too, and i've gone from 5fps to around 70 by using a mod called "STALKER 2 Anti-Stutter Mod and Massive FPS Boost" So mods CAN actually help, but it's just an engine.ini file, so it's not really a mod.
man i almost feel bad now that i went out of my way to see if I could improve my Version that already runs at 100frames with DLAA and Framegeneration while having almost everything on Epic while also having a mod that renders all tree and foliage at max distance. after seeing you 45 FPS i will quietly leave and enjoy the game for what it is xD

I'm taking a break from this game until the performance gets patched a bit. I have the 11th most powerful GPU that exists, and it still runs at 55fps at best with the settings up, even with DLSS Quality.
both of the frame generation settings make your mouse movement feel like youre fighting against an elastic band to get your aim to go where you want. this game also struggles on higher end harware as well. got a 4060 and ryzen 9 and if i go above medium settings i get 30fps LOL. i tried both mods you mentioned before you made this video and neither seem to do anything for steam version. steam version seems to not read 'engine.ini' AT ALL !!!
there really was no optimization to speak of. hopefully they continue to work on it, the game should not be running as poorly as it does for how it looks.
i don’t know how to explain the problem but my game likes to flash and it seems like it’s trying to process the map, playing on a 3060, amd ryzen 5 5600,32gb pc any idea on what it could be?
For some odd reason, if I lock my fps in in game settings to 30fps and enable the framegen i will get 60fps ingame (except for menu and pda or buying in trader etc.) And for some odd reason i dont get input lag which is weird. Execpt (again) if i got fps drop due to traversing a new area. RX6600 user here. Not sure if will work on Nvidia gpu's.
my personnal problem is gpu usage which is always under 90 % (an RTX 3070ti with an i7 10700k) in my case lowering graphics doesn't change fps and stuttering issues...
Just looking for a solution for my crappy laptop with RTX 4060 :D I have huge latency which makes game very lagy and nothing helped so far. I know Stalker 2 can run much better because my desktop is performing perfectly smooth (R5 5600+RX7800XT). But I can't get below 60ms latency in Nvidia overlay. For instance, new Indiana Jones game is running well almost without any latency.
bro I get you don't like fsr 3 frame gen, I weigh things on a scale and the upsides are so much better i go from 49 to 90 and cant even tell the different barely besides knowing its just ever so slightly blurry which I have to really squint to see that. that isn't worth giving up near double frames. I get its your personal opinion though :)

I often feel like as long as it's a laptop I'm playing on, regardless of it being a "gaming" kind of laptop, it's going to be crappy. I've more or less made my peace with it.

Dude ı literally saw 5 fps in zalissya 80-90fps in open free roam areas
One correction, Frame Generation didn't look disgusting due to you not using the intended upscaler, you can use any and it will be fine so long as you have at the least 60 fps as a baseline before FG. It's why you saw those visual distortions and you've definitely had a ton of input lag added as well. Running it at 55 to about 60 FPS here and FG really smooths things out, it's not perfect but it is perfect playable and enjoyable.
Thanks for the corrections, that's actually good to know! Not sure i'll ever reach the 60fps baseline to fully experience it, but one can hope if we get decent optimizations in the future.
@CheekiBreekiTv That's my hope too, I'm excited to see the patches and free content roadmap they mentioned. Stalkers are eating good. :D
Can confirm this, Framegen "only" works for settings that already deliver at least 60fps and IMPORTANT it will EAT your VRAM. So if your card is already struggling (8gb at 1080p is already almost capped) it will make the game slower/less smooth because of constant RAM swapping.
@@rhodan74 damn thanks, cus I notice it Stutter's and high latency
Yeah, thats a shame because the ones who actually need it are those who cant run the game at 60fps to begin with.
The second optimization mod you linked in the description (the one you didn't try) comes highly recommended from many people. I saw people saying the other optimization mods did nothing for them, but that one really helped. Your mileage may vary, obviously. It seemed to give me better performance and frame times overall but slightly worse performance in Zalissya.
Out of all the guides I've looked up so far, this one was by far the best. My FPS generally stayed between 50-60 and only dipped below that when entering a new area and the first town. That being said, it's far from perfect as I still experience stutters and even when it shows I have 60 FPS, it doesn't feel like I actually do. This is something that others pointed out in their reviews prior to release and I hope the devs can put out some optimization patches ASAP.
FSR upscaler + FSR image gen is what saved my playthrough. It gives such a generous amount of extra FPS that I needed to feel immersed. I went from 45-55 FPS on low quality, to 65-90 on medium quality. It does give some input lag, which is worse the lower your baseline FPS is (FPS before enabling FSR image gen), but I'd rather get used to playing with that than trying to feel immersed in a slideshow.
I updated my mod "Optimization Essentials" to version 2, it has massive gains and is now stable. Its great for performance
The mouse fixes and launch commands made the game playable... thanks Mr. Breeki! :)
My AMD brothers! Go into adrenaline, and turn on Frame Rate Target Control to fix the mouse input lag!! It still feels a tiny bit sluggish but its so much better. Also, in case that doesn't work on its own, I'm also in Fullscreen with ingame vsync off and enhanced sync turned on in Adrenaline. Good luck Stalkers
great, good to know.
I do not comment videos a lot but this one helped me a lot. I've switched to DLSS, added Steam launch options and enabled NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency and now I have pretty stable ~50-60 FPS on my laptop 4070 with very rare freezes and only in camp. and some ini files changes I've done before that are in this video also.

Privet Cheeki Stalker , Just here to say that Grok and his squad are already (yes now) covering stalker 2 , they got some 'must have' mods (for exemple mutant less spongebullet, mouse input lag etc) to have for quality perf and game balancing.

Yes I've been using his lower HP mutants mod! So far that's the only thing I found necessary.

Frame gen is best when working with a 60fps base on a 120hz VRR display. Native frames may dip into the 40s but it'll still feel smooth. If you can't get anywhere near a consistent 60fps, and are on a 60hz display, it's actually better to cap to 30 and frame gen up to 60, than letting the FPS run unlocked in the 20-60 range because that'll look choppy as hell. Frame delivery consistency is key.
Yeah I’m not usually a fan of frame gen because of the latency but for all the many problems Stalker 2 has right now frame gen works amazing for me in the 40-60 base FPS range on my 2080ti, 1440p high. I get around 80-100 FPS and frame times feel way smoother than without frame gen, not just higher frame rates.
much like the zone the perfomance of this game functions in strange and unknowable ways
The only thing that can save this game is not a patch, its a miracle,never in all my life i saw a game run bad like this,developers have to learn to use unreal engine 5 properly, i swear in the latest 3 years games run worst than potato pc trying to run aaa games in the past like 20 years
My rig is a Ryzen 7800X3D system with RTX 4070 Super and 32 GB DDR5 6000. I'm running it in Epic settings at 1440p and averaging 120-145 fps when walking through the environment. Performance is great for the most part and not a single crash as of 29 hours. I'm very happy, the game is great.

Good video, gonna try some things you mentioned. I run it capped at 38 fps with Riva, with no upscaling, at 95% render. Game feels very good, its the way I use to run OG Stalker with tons of mods in my old setup.
I actually wanted to try different settings with no upscaling to see the results but convinced myself it would be a waste of time. Care to share your settings in more details? I'm curious now!
@@CheekiBreekiTv mostly same settings as you, since my setup is a bit weak (r5 3600, 6650xt, 32gb ddr4 and HDD install). I capped at 38 because was a number I could achieve. No FG, no upscaler. Gonna fire it up right now and check in detail what setting Im using. I love you content, big fan

Absolute legend, since I downloaded the game it has been unplayable but this seriously help me! Thank you!
Good tips and did that input lag script fix some time ago, its really a good one. One another thing many people miss to do is go to Nvidia control panel, select shader cache size and select 10gb or 100gb (10gb should be enough for most people). This will drastically shorten your time caching shaders when the game starts and also improves the whole game (removing stutters etc) how it runs after this change :)
Im a 9900k and 2080ti (cutting edge 2019) and FSR has fixed the game for me so thanks. On balanced im getting a little lag but totally fine to deal with and 80-90fps in populated zones with everything set to epic.
This was super helpful! I have the same exact pc so everything worked
Getting good results on my 2070 Super with DLSS set to balanced and frame gen on. The game still stutters when entering camps, but it's pretty smooth out in the open world.
I found that Lossless Scaling (available on steam) using LSFG 2.3 at X2, doubles my FPS without adding the awful inputlag and ghosting from AMDs FSR
This guide really helped me make the game playable….thanks!!
I am so hyped to play. i bought the game but still waiting for some patches and mods.

Man I bet if you did a gofund me for like 2k USD for a decent people would pitch in. People love your STALKER content.
i have a strong amd card and native with only framegen does it for me. Everything on high (textures on epic) and native 1440p gets me 60 fps. when framegen has a lot of base fps to work with and a lot of detail (no detail lost by upscaling) it works really well
The only issue I have is the temporary lag and stutters at hub areas and some POIs. Other than that, I was able to get a mostly stable 60 FPS just by running at 1280 x 720 with frame gen, TSR performance (mainly to have consistant AO shadows which TAA and the other upscalers messes up), 80 resolution scale, and have everything but textures set to low (could run actually run some settings between med-high but I just want to make sure I don't stress my system).
The game still looks good despite the settings which only makes me question why the need for hi-fi graphics if you don't see too much of a practical diffirence except shadows, reflections, and foliage along with worst FPS even if you ran a supercomputer from the sound of things.
Anyone notice once you go into a cutscene, your fps drops like...30 frames?
I don't get 30 frames to begin with
So thanks bro work for me i have too modified engine. + STEAM Launcher Option ecc finally i got up 70/100 fps stable and my setup is Gaming Laptop with rtx 3050 4gVram 32gb Ram intel i5 11th run very quiet now Thanks again. ❤
I have a nvidia card and always use FSR. Its fully compatible with all cards and well optimized imo.
I'm so glad I upgraded my PC before playing this. Without frame generation turned on using DLSS performance, settings on High, I'm getting on average 70 fps. With frame generation on, bumps that up to over 120-140.
Ryzen 9700x, 64GB RAM, 3080. The 3080 is the only part brought over from the old build.
Based on the builds I've seen others use, even with 40 series and still running into low fps, yours having a whopping 64gb ram seems to be the variable. Maybe RAM is really the bottleneck and not totally gpu despite what most might assume.
I think your ram makes the big difference
even on low and medium this game is absolutely gorgeous.
FSR with frame gen made a massive frame rate improvement on my AMD system. I don't know if you Nvidia bois will see the same thing though.
Hey man. great video as always. Question? What are you using to capture the frame performance? Especially the frametime and average fps. Thank you. Keep up the videos. Can't wait for a STALKER 2 Ironman run.
If you have a good graphics card that can run the game, like a 4080, you should use DLAA + framgen plus the settings he shows in the video, maybe just up the texture quality. When your base framerate is between 50-70 the artifacting is not notice when new frames are generated.
If you have problems with widescreen stuttering, try playing on 1920x1080 with 16 by 10 aspect ratio
Great, great, just great, you are my hero. Sadly I am on AMD GPU, but still, keep up the good work, tahnk you
The hero we needed.
Framegen works wonders, but only if you already have high fps (like above 60 at least). I have a 3080 and i tried high settings with framegen and the game felt and looked like sh*t. Lowered the settings until i found out the best combo for around 70-80 fps with dlss, then i turned on framegen and not only it doesn't look crap but also input lag is not that bad. You can still notice some weird behavior - mainly in the reflections or narrow distant objects, but i'd rather have that than lower framerate
Ok, i need to try this input lag fix!
I have a kinda beefy pc (playing on 4k because i dont have a 1080p monitor) (3080TI, 32 gb ram and so on.. pc is 2y old now) and im playing on mid-high and textures on epic settings. Game runs fine on dlss balanced, get about 60-50 fps (without frame generation) in open world and ofc dumps on me in settelments. But funny thing is whenever i go to a complex of apartements or any other open world location with bulidngs or an abandoned village game runs smooth, so basically game still needs some fixes and optimization. With frame generation i get about 90-70 fps in open world and ofc whenever im entering a settlement i get fps dumps to 45 fps (just for a sec) then it kinda lingers in around 65 fps to 55 fps range, depends on the settlement. Also a funny thing to mention i did put all my settings on epic and used dlss quality with frame generation and it played fine but there was quite a bit of input lagg, same problems with settlements with same fps dips, also its not healthy for the graphic card to push it like that so best play it safe for now and use safe settings configuration. Also im thinking about getting a 1080p monitor so i can set higher settings but im not sure if its worth it..
I have a 3050 laptop. You have a 3060 laptop. Your game still looks super good and you get like 49 fps. Is the 3050 really that bad? Cuz my game looks like mashed potatoes and blurry as hell. Or is it just an optimisation issue. Because as bad as the 3050 might be, my laptop runs most recent games decently. What do you think?
i also have 4gb 3050 and have same issues. 3050 is still great videocard but game requires mode than 6gb vram but most of the 3050 laptops has 4 that's makes the game unplayable. My next goal is change my laptop with 8gb 4060 now but in 3rd world country it's hard as staying alive in the zone without any firearm.
Yes. Keep away from all entry-level cards if you want to game at anything over 30 fps. xx60 minimum. The xx50's are very bad.
@@MilvuSe yah same here sadly my 4gb card is holding me back the cheaper option for me rn is just get xbox game pass ultimate and play it from the cloud
I have a 3050ti laptop, the game is unplayable and I doubt it will be but only time will tell
Yeah from what I read VRAM has a huge impact on how the game performs and the 4GB difference matters a lot, especially in big openworld games. Which settings are you running your game on rn?
These are basically all the same changes people recommend for Tarkov and I can tell you they won't give you much improvement, not even in Nvidia control panel. It's mostly all placebo.
so the dlss fixed me really good. if i can get my asss motivated i can replace a bios chip on my other laptop and have what you have. gen 11 and rtx 3060. thanks man
For us AMD boys framegen looks personally absolutely fine if you dont mind few artifacts here and there. If your option is to play on 40-50 fps without frame gen then i dont know what to say. I would rather go with framegen with slight input lag and enjoy on average 70-80 fps
Remember hotfixes are coming soon, CSG devs are working as fast as they can ❤
Oh yeah I'm not worried, to be fair before release, looking at the min requirements, I was expecting to run the game at low/30fps (if at all), and I'm actually running medium-low at 40-50fps. It still needs a ton of optimization, but I can't complain. A-life is the biggest bummer so far, but i'll wait for the first few patches to see what happens (and if we need the pitchforks or not).
I’m running a lower end gaming laptop to yours and initially there was no issue it ran smooth at like 30/40FPS which I’m used to, but then all of a sudden I hit a barrier and the game would drop to 5FPS which made it unplayable, I couldn’t even get out of the the first bit with the scanners, I reinstalled the game last night through the xbox pass and managed to get past the first part and into the first town but it was so laggy in the first town like unplayable again, I just don’t understand 😂😂 people are saying memory leaks but a lot of people are still playing the game on a low end machine with no problems, it’s like the Microsoft pass version is super bugged compared to steam.
@@R-C-ONE Yeah I have this issue too in towns, during cinematics sometimes etc...less so with all the optimization but it still happens. Definitely a bug/leak or something. Generally pressing esc to open the main menu and wait 10-15s there solves it.

CSG?
Idk what's going on with FSR frame gen on your end, for me it works perfectly. The only sign I can find is toggling crouch next to a railing which leaves a heavy "ghosting" effect behind the object. Other than that I couldn't tell whether it was ON or OFF. Really the only actual issue is input lag which is unfortunately a drawback of frame gen
I tweaked some settings on my 1650 laptop and the best for me was everything on low except AA being epic, FSR quality and with vsync on at 900p or 1080p. It gives nearly 30 to 35 fps (sometimes drops to 27s but its alright) which i clipped to 30. If it always runs like that it is i mean, playable. But after some time FPS drops to like one digit frames and turns into a slideshow until i reboot the game. i was suspecting of thermal throttle and tweaked my machine but after i saw some people with way higher rigs than me has the same problem, i think it has to be something with the optimization. I will wait for patches, hope it gets rid of that and at least makes it playable.
dude i booted it in my old pc,

16 GB ram may not be enough... i play on medium 1080p and it always uses about 20-22 GB ram
@@dermit381 yeah i think so too, since my actual performance are not really that bad, its just the asset and texture loading time, whenever i load a save or just approached some buildings

Needed this ❤
3:00 You have the patience of a monk to record all of these and suffer thru endless *compiling shaders*. I'm also on a 3060 mobile and I recommend framegen but you need to edit a couple things: 1) have nvidia reflex on (in-game) 2) vsync to fast, low latency mode to on or ultra, power management to maximum performance (nvidia settings). With this you should not get input lag. I also recommend Ultimate Engine Tweaks (Nexus Mods). In settings, hair always to low and global illuminatino is a big resource hog so the lower the better.
thank you, it felt like my aim was muddy lol
dude, erm how do I say this, the second mod you have in the description is the one you want, installing it instantly removed all the input lag and almost doubled my framerate im running a desktop 3060 and I get the same frames as you with FSR FG off without the mod with the mod its in the 60s 70-s and with FSR FG its in the 90s to 120s, framegen for me isnt crazy with the framegen artifacts and I find your brain gets used to the weirdness of dark areas it kinda all melds together after a few hours and your eyes fix it automatically for you kinda like with motion blur in films
Using my i5-9600k and 3060, i run it at mostly medium, there are times it runs at 60fps no problem. But then lows to 45 or 27 at points when where is no graphical changes. The game wants to run well its just not optimised. I think the devs did this so they could release on time but had to increase the launch requirements like so. I know this example isnt the same but my system runs metro exodus on ultra RTX 1440p smoothly and its still one of the most stunning graphics ive ever seen.
Either metro exodus is the best optimized game in the world (I wouldn't know, haven't played it) or you got the luckiest silicone lottery 3060 ever. I have a 3060 12gb model with 5800x3d, 32gb ram, and there hasn't been a single game that does well with 1440p, much less with RTX AND ULTRA SETTINGS? Alright, I'm starting to think that most people simply don't know what good actually is, maybe it's true that MOST people (80%/20% rule) just don't see any improvement from 30ish-60ish fps, after that any performance improvement is lost on them. And then the 'lucky' few of us can benefit from higher refresh/fps counts... or unlucky because most games releasing now are releasing half-baked, so we only suffer from laggy, low fps experiences.
@K.S-w5s METRO has always been highly optimised (funny how Its a version of XRay engine). I remember playing Metro redux on a GT 720 and a pentium, and it ran amazing on high settings. Exodus is probably the best use if RTX to date and runs well, it even ran ultra on a 2060 I had before, but with the updated graphics last year it dipped but the 3060 handles it.
Are we gonna talk about why exactly the mouse smoothing and acceleration is not adjustable in game but is enabled by default even though every single bit of info I've seen on the game says it's awful, even my own experience? On a PC? Guess they got shellshock from the war.
Finding it hard to bind keys
I use TSR, because FSR produce a lot of ghosting and noice. Though TSR has some weird visual bug. It's hard to explain but when you look closely, you can see a weird weapon outline near the crosshair (middle screen). Dont know how to explain it properly.
I can recommend XeSS + FSR3 Frame Gen for AMD users.
Yea XeSS destroys FSR upscaler in this game.
@hannibalbarkas1350 fr. I've been playing with XeSS in this game, and it is way too better than FSR. I want to see if it is the latest version of XeSS, if not, I will try to replace the dll with a newer version.
I'm running on a 3060 6gb laptop too, and i've gone from 5fps to around 70 by using a mod called "STALKER 2 Anti-Stutter Mod and Massive FPS Boost"

I'm taking a break from this game until the performance gets patched a bit. I have the 11th most powerful GPU that exists, and it still runs at 55fps at best with the settings up, even with DLSS Quality.
It's better to limit fps, and enable V Sync in Nvidia Control Panel (and disable them in game).

Just looking for a solution for my crappy laptop with RTX 4060 :D I have huge latency which makes game very lagy and nothing helped so far. I know Stalker 2 can run much better because my desktop is performing perfectly smooth (R5 5600+RX7800XT). But I can't get below 60ms latency in Nvidia overlay. For instance, new Indiana Jones game is running well almost without any latency.
Sadly FSR crashes my game. So I guess it’s DLSS for now. I get way more frames with FSR and frame gen on though!
bro I get you don't like fsr 3 frame gen, I weigh things on a scale and the upsides are so much better i go from 49 to 90 and cant even tell the different barely besides knowing its just ever so slightly blurry which I have to really squint to see that. that isn't worth giving up near double frames. I get its your personal opinion though :)
Next can you tell me how to make it so bloodsuckers aren’t spawning every 15 seconds.
Un grand merciiiiiii !
Just cause devs are using UE5 and poorly optimising their games doesnt make your pc a potato, you can run loads of great games on it just fine.
