Today I learned that 4K DLSS quality = 1080p apparently. what a dumb take 4K upscaling looks basically the same as native and far better than 1080p even in performance mode. And above 60FPS frame gen works wonders.
@@DragonOfTheMortalKombat 4K DLSS Quality isnt the same as 1080p, (The perfomance is way lower than native 1080p), so its a trade off, looks better, performs worse.
The game is using Unreal Engine 5.1, I believe, which does not support nanite for trees and foliage which is why there still noticeable LOD issues on Epic settings. I think nanite was added for trees/foliage from 5.2 so hopefully the developers will update the engine to a newer build in time so fix the pop in fully.

One thing that helped me with my 7950x3d cpu is actually enabling all cores to go at full blast instead of just X3D cores. It seems to like more cores rather than 3D V cache
I don't excuse poor performance (as a result of lacking optimization) regardless of how "graphically intensive" a game is. The development team underwent hardship, but this is still a product made available for sale in its current condition. This needed to be delayed by another year or so, and based on several initial reviews of this game, it seems that all of those publications can agree. It isn't 2007 anymore.
I'd like to see some of these games tested with ALL CPU Cores enabled. Some games, ( like Microsoft Flight Sim 2024) actually utilise the no 3D Cache cores, just using raw number of threads instead. I know most games likely run better on 3D Cache cores, but I'd like to see how the games utilise a CPU with all cores enabeld and if developers are clever enough to make them prefer the cores that run better without needing to manually disable them.
Wow...I was suspecting that you will be doing benchmark of Stalkier 2 but I did not expect that soon!!! I thought I will check today( 21st) lol. Well done mate!!!
I copy/paste my comment I wrote under this video, maybe it helps a bit: "Playing the game with a 7600x and a 4080 Super on 1440p, all settings on Epic, DLSS at DLAA with around 100 FPS in average (~70 in the first village)... Tbh, I'm fine with it. I'm still using a 60Hz monitor anyway. The cutscenes are sometimes under 60 FPS for a few seconds, but that doesn't bother me."
The shader cache size thingy.. i never disabled it before. me for now i noticed improvments to the games i was playing which makes no sense. So yes i am trying my best to get my computer running good lol u seem just fine i guess yea lol i am the one with the computer problems
You know what? It's probably the game's fault... I've been seeing it time and time again, optimization has gone down the drain unfortunately, and there's nothing we can do to fix it, even brute forcing it doesn't work because the games still stutter 😭
At least it's one of the games that don't look worse with DLSS Quality but get a major performance boost. RTX 4080S in 1440p high settings 60-70fps with DLSS Quality 90-100fps.
4:35 Please Kryzzp I think we would all love, if you went around some places in Portugal and talked about the "textures, lighting, shadows, view distance, and so on" it would be so funny. Maybe for April fools?:D
They had an excuse. Which one? They've been making the game for 15 years and then, they promised to release the game almost three years ago... and then they had an excuse.
While I get people complaining about optimization but at the same time the industry needs to progress in graphics , physics etc , we've been stuck with the same COD looking games for like 8 years now. It's about time developers started pushing the tech a bit more which is refreshing to see.
It's both, it should be looking better, optimization complaints are showing that, if nothing is changing, clearly it shouldn't be running so bad, therefore the whole "why can't a game just be intensive" argument doesn't work
No it is an optimization issue lol. There are equally good looking games that require half as much raw power (Wukong; CP2077; Ghost of Tsushima; RDR2; Metro Exodus)
This game is everything but not good looking at least for me. I don't know, but somehow it feels like an old title, which came out 10 years ago by the looks.
To me the graphics are mind blowing but maybe I’m playing the wrong games.. idk how to explain it but the depth in the game seems very realistic with all the shadows being casted
@@zWORMzGaming Yeah with 3-5 wooden empty houses and 5-6 trees amazing. How difficult to have insane looking textures if you have much less objects and gameplay like that

@@S3NSEI507 Well if you are going to use upscaler as a crutch then an RTX 4060 or an RX 6700xt can outperform PS5 via FSR and DLSS in most cases, what people are actually pissed about is the native 4k is hard to achieve in Unreal Engine 5 games, PS5 upscales from resolution lower than 900p in games using Unreal Engine 5 or other similarly demanding engines and it is not like I have anything against consoles as I still have a Nintendo Switch and all Sony consoles till PS4 but to achieve playable frame rate the consoles does downscales the resolution massively.

Ive a 4090 and it certainly does drop into the 50s with dlss and frame gen, it drops into the 40s in the towns randomly from 120fps. The frame times are all over the place. It's still remarkably compelling to play.

@hellsbells8979 Anybody can boast about being better than others. Plus, the textures along autdo like 99% of the games on the market. Also GSC Game Wolf is temporarily located in Prague, nice try. It is a Ukranian game studio and up until Russia got daring and properly pushed Ukraine, it had been there. A dev or two in the studio has passed because they went to fight in the war.
@@PixelatedWolf2077 they located in Kiev, where is no sight of any war, and moved to Prague almost next day, when the war started. Yes one person of studio left to war. But I'm sure he wasn't main responsible person for optimisation. It just excuses. Before war they moved release day every month, and it even became mem , after war, they made this exuse as oficial. Btw first stalker was raw and not optimised aswell, so basically its a tradition. I just hate when lazy developers blame whole word, but not themselves
@hellsbells8979 However that's still in Ukraine...as I mentioned before. Also no one exactly knew how far Russia was going to push in. On top of the war is STILL going on. When you are stressed with work and worrying if your family and friends are okay, you will also do worse with your work or projects. Anxiety doesn't help with that either. If Russia somehow happens to take all of Ukraine, then they wouldn't have a home either.
bro i just want to clarify something is the rx7900 xtx better than 4090 if i don't want to play with rt, i have watched almost all your videos and came to a conclusion that only in black myth wukong it was a problem for the rx 7900xtx. and also the prize difference is soo much.
Getting rid of pop-in sounds so much more appealing to me than better lighting and shadows. I'm fine with where things are at as far as those two aspects.
And yet people complain about $500 consoles running at 4k30fps and the PS5 Pro running at 4k60fps, a $2000 graphics card can't even run the game 2-3x better, a game that is also on the Xbox Series
Consoles don`t run 4k30 native (at most games) , they could run 4k30 or even 60 in games with poor graphic and in more intense games they can run 1080-1440p60 with drops up to 30-40
@ yes , and those frame drops are on 1080-1440p , not a 4k , and worse graphics, the point is - pc running games much better with higher fidelity and frame rate
The reflections are cubemaps with SSR. I dont think there is any kind of RT in the game. Hopefully they add that. I know itll run 30fps but itll look even better lol. Great game. Lots of fun. Im playing it at 1440p with a 4090/13900k.. Im using FG because its actually really good in this game. Very few artifacts and its very smooth. Responsive because the base fps is usually 60 or 70 sometimes more. Good shit!
a ue5 game you can turn off AA completley, fkng finally, and TAA and DLSS is not that blurry in this game compared to something like gray zone warfare, why is it this hard to implement lol.
I excuse developers for the optimization. Of course you do with your 4090. But I don't with my laptop at Ryzen 5 + rtx 3060, which shows 30-35 fps with drops to 20 sometimes. High performance PC or laptop are not effordable for many gamers, especially here in Ukraine. There's many thanks to developers for this game, but I hope they'll work with optimization. For example, rdr2 shows much better graphic with higher fps on my laptop in comparison with Stalker. Всем добра)
Trailers did me dirty wtf is this man runs like garbage and looks like it, too? 15 years of waiting, and it feels like it's gonna be another 5 before it's ready.
playing this on a 4070Super and the answer is frame gen for now it actually makes it way more responsive and evens out stuttering/frametimes for me at 1440p/epic/DLAA. Beautiful game though
Looks like a great game from the bits of gameplay I've seen so far, definitely grabbing it, looks like a great successor to the original games. And...they literally developed this game in a wartorn country, getting bombed by Russia, still managing to make a huge game that's got that just right amount of Stalker game jank, that's pretty badass
So for the flickering textures I have this same issue happen in a lot of Ubisoft titles there is a config file with a streaming value. In the Ubisoft values I changed it from 16 to 1064 and it fixed it completely. I'm not sure if it will even work in this game or where that config file is for this game but it certainly seems like the same exact problem. What it ended up being is how much memory they allocated for streaming something.
imagine telling a 14700k and 4070ti a mid tier build. No wonder optimization went down to a drain hole because people like you will buy it whatever those greedy corporates throws at your face with slippers
Frame Generation causes very unpleasant input latency so I prefer turning it off in every game but in STALKER 2 I felt for the first time to use it :D My 4070 Ti delivers mostly stable 60fps in 1440 Epic and DLAA but the framerate drops in these bases and villages with a lot of NPCs, light sources - especially when entering crowded buildungs - is craaaazy. Definitely needs a lot of optimization but I still enjoy it so far. Atmosphere is outstanding, just as in the original one back in 2007.
Really, games have become very demanding, even the RTX 4090 cards cannot handle them, but how will the games of 2030 be? It is frustrating. The RTX 5090 will become a thing of the past.

This needed to be delayed by another year or so, and based on several initial reviews of this game, it seems that all of those publications can agree. It isn't 2007 anymore.
I wish that it was 2007
They had 15 years to optimize this game. yikes.
Your comment is not 100% true.
bro do you know what is happening in ukraine ?
@@dalynzeras they moved to czech republic
@@what_t3h_spruc3 Part of developers are die in the war though.
The development started in 2018
I'd like to see some of these games tested with ALL CPU Cores enabled. Some games, ( like Microsoft Flight Sim 2024) actually utilise the no 3D Cache cores, just using raw number of threads instead. I know most games likely run better on 3D Cache cores, but I'd like to see how the games utilise a CPU with all cores enabeld and if developers are clever enough to make them prefer the cores that run better without needing to manually disable them.
My rx7800xt is struggling to get stable 60 fps in 1080p, that's abysmal....
Wow, horrible game from a tehcnical point.
My 6600xt is dying as well my poor little 5800x3d is trying its best haha
Lol really? And i was expecting running it on max at 1440p with my 6800xt
Yikes. Guess I’ll be skipping this one
@@silverwerewolf975 maybe if you upscale from 360p😂
3:01 - this trouble called war😥 Anyway thanks for review 4090 in this game!
Oh no. I didn't know there was a war going on in the Czech Republic
@yagr1 Team transferred to CR because of the war
Wow...I was suspecting that you will be doing benchmark of Stalkier 2 but I did not expect that soon!!! I thought I will check today( 21st) lol. Well done mate!!!
best thumbnail i have ever seen
As always the best GPU/CPU testing on YT there is! Cheers man!
Yep, another one of - we didn’t optimize our at all game, upscaling and frame generation will take care of that
This is a worrying trend that seems to not stop.
Finally someone else understands the absolute scam of ai, ever since ai came out games aren't expected to be optimized and it's pathetic
im downloading it right now! so excited!
4:35 “I’ve noticed some very poor implemented shadows in real life”
Awesome test 👍
Thank you 😃
And here we have the retro GPU king!
Nice videos man.
How many GPU's do you have in your collection? Wow😂
@@eurocrusader1724 he already said over 100 Gpu
He's talking about DanielC, he's awesome and he tests lots of retro GPUs!
Highly recommend watching his videos 🙂
@zWORMzGaming 🙏
Please test with the rtx 4080/4080s when you can. Good video btw
I copy/paste my comment I wrote under this video, maybe it helps a bit: "Playing the game with a 7600x and a 4080 Super on 1440p, all settings on Epic, DLSS at DLAA with around 100 FPS in average (~70 in the first village)... Tbh, I'm fine with it. I'm still using a 60Hz monitor anyway. The cutscenes are sometimes under 60 FPS for a few seconds, but that doesn't bother me."
2:15 this spawn of tree is very cool!
The shader cache size thingy.. i never disabled it before. me for now i noticed improvments to the games i was playing which makes no sense. So yes i am trying my best to get my computer running good lol u seem just fine i guess yea lol i am the one with the computer problems
You know what? It's probably the game's fault... I've been seeing it time and time again, optimization has gone down the drain unfortunately, and there's nothing we can do to fix it, even brute forcing it doesn't work because the games still stutter 😭
At least it's one of the games that don't look worse with DLSS Quality but get a major performance boost.
RTX 4080S in 1440p high settings 60-70fps with DLSS Quality 90-100fps.
So great :)))))
4:46 i guess real life needs some updates😂
It needs a rollback to more stable version
4:35 Please Kryzzp I think we would all love, if you went around some places in Portugal and talked about the "textures, lighting, shadows, view distance, and so on" it would be so funny. Maybe for April fools?:D
They had an excuse.
Which one?
They've been making the game for 15 years and then, they promised to release the game almost three years ago...
and then they had an excuse.
are we ready for 6090 rtx bro this UE5 shit makes me depressing
4090 or pubg?
Thumbnails are the reason I click on your videos most of the time, keep it up
Kryzzp we love you ❤
4090 - 1080P 100FPS... Unreal Engine 5 needs to go away from the gaming industry.
While I get people complaining about optimization but at the same time the industry needs to progress in graphics , physics etc , we've been stuck with the same COD looking games for like 8 years now. It's about time developers started pushing the tech a bit more which is refreshing to see.
It's both, it should be looking better, optimization complaints are showing that, if nothing is changing, clearly it shouldn't be running so bad, therefore the whole "why can't a game just be intensive" argument doesn't work
No it is an optimization issue lol. There are equally good looking games that require half as much raw power (Wukong; CP2077; Ghost of Tsushima; RDR2; Metro Exodus)
Yeah DLSS + Frame Gen is gonna be an absolute must for me
I already played 3 hours in one go and just couldn't stop playing until I forced myself to stop. THIS GAME IS THE GOAT!
It will be the goat.
Its a gem. Rough and in need of polish, but damn how good a gem will it be when it gets more polish.
@ definitely but atleast playable compared to yesterday’s disaster…
Great video, gameplay looked smooth even at 60fps, could you please tell whats your monitor?
This game is everything but not good looking at least for me.
I don't know, but somehow it feels like an old title, which came out 10 years ago by the looks.
It has some insane looking textures and lighting imo!
It's Stalker 1 but better graphics, that's why.
What's good looking then for you
To me the graphics are mind blowing but maybe I’m playing the wrong games.. idk how to explain it but the depth in the game seems very realistic with all the shadows being casted
@@zWORMzGaming Yeah with 3-5 wooden empty houses and 5-6 trees amazing. How difficult to have insane looking textures if you have much less objects and gameplay like that
I think you need Fullscreen (Borderless) if you want FSR FG to work, it did work on my RTX 3050 but the input lag was noticeable even at 100+ FPS.
Also, please enable NVIDIA Reflex, it helps a lot with input lag, I went from 100 ms to like 55 ms.
Hey, Kryzzp! I just want to tell you that my father is building me my very first PC with a Ryzen 7 9700X, an RX 7800 XT and 32GB RAM for Christmas! I’m very excited to play Cyberpunk, Dragon Age: The Veilguard and Stalker 2 at Maximum Settings! I’m so excited!
Hope u enjoy
Congratulations
Swap the 9700X with 9800X3D if possible, might be difficult considering the stock availability
Veilguard?
You missing some neurons or what?
Veilguard 💀
Such a cool game. Will play it in about a year when it'll be bug free (hopefully) and better optimized
crazy a 2000€ graphics card: native 4k on epic just 60fps
And yet people complain about $500 consoles running at 4k30fps and the PS5 Pro running at 4k60fps, a $2000 graphics card can't even run the game 2-3x better, a game that is also on the Xbox Series
Those consoles use much lower graphic settings and run at dynamic or upscaled 4k, ps5 pro ain't doing native 4k 60 fps my guy. The 4080 super triples the fps of the ps5 at similar settings, digital foundry tested it in some games. 4090 would therefore almost triple the fps of the ps5 pro@@S3NSEI507
@@S3NSEI507 Except for the exclusives most of the PS5 games are not running at native 4k Resolution, while the games are unoptimized on PC people have this misconception that PS5 is actually running games at 4k which it is not for any of the demanding titles.
@firzokkhan6443 native 4k or not, don't forget the price of the rtx4090, 3x the price of a console, even if it uses 4k upscaling, it's still 1500€ cheaper
@@S3NSEI507 Well if you are going to use upscaler as a crutch then an RTX 4060 or an RX 6700xt can outperform PS5 via FSR and DLSS in most cases, what people are actually pissed about is the native 4k is hard to achieve in Unreal Engine 5 games, PS5 upscales from resolution lower than 900p in games using Unreal Engine 5 or other similarly demanding engines and it is not like I have anything against consoles as I still have a Nintendo Switch and all Sony consoles till PS4 but to achieve playable frame rate the consoles does downscales the resolution massively.
Cant wait to see once it releases on ps5 how it runs :D
@11:21 my frame rate is far higher on 3440x1440P with a 7900 XT in that area no FSR or FG. Sooooooooooooooooooooooo Nvidia has some fixing to do driver wise as does GSC game wise I guess lol big time. I'm for the most part 60+ and the area I mentioned It doesn't dip below 50's
True.My Rx7900 XT 2k, epic settings,no fsr enabled or vsync,240-160fps with fg.
Impressionante que nem uma 4090 consegue mais rodar 4K Ultra sem ajudinha de IA
This is why you don’t buy or even pirate on release. Too many bugs and unoptimised code. Wait a few months instead
I'm originally from Ukraine so to play this game I've very excited I want to go back and explore . I kinda wanted to go back IRL but not anytime soon anymore 😔😭. It such a beautiful country though u don't even know .

Can you try this game with rtx 4060ti 8gb ?
vram too low, you won't get 60fps
Ive a 4090 and it certainly does drop into the 50s with dlss and frame gen, it drops into the 40s in the towns randomly from 120fps. The frame times are all over the place. It's still remarkably compelling to play.
yeah the devs need to start optimize this game lol

Why these developers having big excuse about optimisation?
They are in a war AND UE5 has always sucked with optimization
@PixelatedWolf2077 what the war in Prague?) did wsr started 100 years ago? Also in interview they said that no one knows better ue than they do
@hellsbells8979 Anybody can boast about being better than others. Plus, the textures along autdo like 99% of the games on the market.
Also GSC Game Wolf is temporarily located in Prague, nice try. It is a Ukranian game studio and up until Russia got daring and properly pushed Ukraine, it had been there. A dev or two in the studio has passed because they went to fight in the war.
@@PixelatedWolf2077 they located in Kiev, where is no sight of any war, and moved to Prague almost next day, when the war started. Yes one person of studio left to war. But I'm sure he wasn't main responsible person for optimisation. It just excuses. Before war they moved release day every month, and it even became mem , after war, they made this exuse as oficial. Btw first stalker was raw and not optimised aswell, so basically its a tradition. I just hate when lazy developers blame whole word, but not themselves
@hellsbells8979 However that's still in Ukraine...as I mentioned before. Also no one exactly knew how far Russia was going to push in. On top of the war is STILL going on.
When you are stressed with work and worrying if your family and friends are okay, you will also do worse with your work or projects. Anxiety doesn't help with that either. If Russia somehow happens to take all of Ukraine, then they wouldn't have a home either.
bro i just want to clarify something is the rx7900 xtx better than 4090 if i don't want to play with rt, i have watched almost all your videos and came to a conclusion that only in black myth wukong it was a problem for the rx 7900xtx. and also the prize difference is soo much.
RTX 4090 > RX 7900 XTX > RTX 4080(S)
Dudes huffing some copium or something. 7900xtx is equal to roughly 4080S in rasterization right?
No it's barely faster than a 4080 super but slower than a 4090
Nah, 4090 is faster in any way. 7900xtx is on 4080 super level and i think even faster.
No, only card that will run away from 4090 is 5090
Getting rid of pop-in sounds so much more appealing to me than better lighting and shadows. I'm fine with where things are at as far as those two aspects.
Will you bother getting the R7 9800X3D?
AMD told me they'd get me one when they have more review samples!

Consoles don`t run 4k30 native (at most games) , they could run 4k30 or even 60 in games with poor graphic and in more intense games they can run 1080-1440p60 with drops up to 30-40
@sashatsap6853 yes for $500
@sashatsap6853 yes for $500 and for frame drops are mostly due to poor game optimization
@ yes , and those frame drops are on 1080-1440p , not a 4k , and worse graphics, the point is - pc running games much better with higher fidelity and frame rate
Shed a tear watching this.
The reflections are cubemaps with SSR. I dont think there is any kind of RT in the game. Hopefully they add that. I know itll run 30fps but itll look even better lol. Great game. Lots of fun. Im playing it at 1440p with a 4090/13900k.. Im using FG because its actually really good in this game. Very few artifacts and its very smooth. Responsive because the base fps is usually 60 or 70 sometimes more. Good shit!
a ue5 game you can turn off AA completley, fkng finally, and TAA and DLSS is not that blurry in this game compared to something like gray zone warfare, why is it this hard to implement lol.
Hey love the Headphones you are using what are your reviews on them
High quality textures in a massive open world, no wonder why the game file is so big and pop-ins are frequent.
I excuse developers for the optimization. Of course you do with your 4090. But I don't with my laptop at Ryzen 5 + rtx 3060, which shows 30-35 fps with drops to 20 sometimes. High performance PC or laptop are not effordable for many gamers, especially here in Ukraine. There's many thanks to developers for this game, but I hope they'll work with optimization.
For example, rdr2 shows much better graphic with higher fps on my laptop in comparison with Stalker.
Всем добра)
What a time to be alive, that you need 2000$ GPU to play at 4K max settings at 60 fps.
If only every game used the Snowdrop engine. Sadly that's a Ubisoft in house engine 😔
For those who are using FG, please make sure Nvidia Reflex is on because it didn't automatically turn it on with FG.
Trailers did me dirty wtf is this man runs like garbage and looks like it, too? 15 years of waiting, and it feels like it's gonna be another 5 before it's ready.
21:05 Lightning! near you, closer 20 meters behind you
Please test it on the 7900gre.
Thank you for all your work and character!
playing this on a 4070Super and the answer is frame gen for now it actually makes it way more responsive and evens out stuttering/frametimes for me at 1440p/epic/DLAA. Beautiful game though
Looks like a great game from the bits of gameplay I've seen so far, definitely grabbing it, looks like a great successor to the original games. And...they literally developed this game in a wartorn country, getting bombed by Russia, still managing to make a huge game that's got that just right amount of Stalker game jank, that's pretty badass
the stutters are killing my immersion, i'll have to wait for a update
So for the flickering textures I have this same issue happen in a lot of Ubisoft titles there is a config file with a streaming value. In the Ubisoft values I changed it from 16 to 1064 and it fixed it completely.
I'm not sure if it will even work in this game or where that config file is for this game but it certainly seems like the same exact problem. What it ended up being is how much memory they allocated for streaming something.
FG does wonders I love it now a days you gotta have a high end gpu 😊LETS GO
Even at 90 fps the micro stuttering just makes it feel like a constant 40 fps, once they fix that I'll actually play it.
performance is pretty decent on my 14700K/4070ti super combo. Love that it's true to the original. I'll be playing this for years.
14700K and 4070Super, amazing here!
You talking like 14700K/4070ti super is med build
imagine telling a 14700k and 4070ti a mid tier build. No wonder optimization went down to a drain hole because people like you will buy it whatever those greedy corporates throws at your face with slippers
@@MrBALAKUMARA That person probably lives in the richest country in the world, that's why dropping 800 dollars on a GPU is nothingburger to them.
@@FoxSky-md1ul Well, compared to a 7800X3D/4090??
Frame Generation causes very unpleasant input latency so I prefer turning it off in every game but in STALKER 2 I felt for the first time to use it :D
My 4070 Ti delivers mostly stable 60fps in 1440 Epic and DLAA but the framerate drops in these bases and villages with a lot of NPCs, light sources - especially when entering crowded buildungs - is craaaazy. Definitely needs a lot of optimization but I still enjoy it so far. Atmosphere is outstanding, just as in the original one back in 2007.
playing stalker 2 right now on an A770 epic settings 1080p xess ultra quality frame gen on 80+fps
25fps on xbox series s. i just uninstalled after 1h.
I sure hope they make some performance patches D:
Really, games have become very demanding, even the RTX 4090 cards cannot handle them, but how will the games of 2030 be? It is frustrating. The RTX 5090 will become a thing of the past.
I play 1080p 144hz exclusively on my Asus RTS 4090 and i7 14900k. Best gaming experience ever.
