GTX 1060 ~ S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl (UE5) Performance Test - Upscaling is The Saviour

[@sobyxbro]

i can finally download the game with confidence that i know i will run it ty man

[@Leelareso]

be prepared with 0.5 sec delay with framegen from amd xD

@@Leelareso i have intel i5 13400F and idk if im having delay bcs the gun play feels goofy

Greetings from Sweden! Thanks for this, man! It was very much appreciated! You,Sir, just got yourself a new subscriber and a like 🎉

[@ikejacobovits]

I see that no matter what, that patented UE5 microstutter is clear as day no matter what footage I watch lol

[@jayjaygeez]

I'm running the game on a 4080 and the performance issues really begin to show themselves in a big way after the prologue, which is what's being shown here. Significant frame drops and that classic UE5 stuttering. Just as an FYI for anyone considering getting it right now. The game itself is great so far, but as with pretty much every game release nowadays, it just wasn't ready for launch.

[@stevendeamon]

Incorrect. I am 15 hours in and I have no issues on a 3070, 2K, frame generation on. Stable 120fps capped. I have ZERO frame drops (I do have them in other UE engine games). I think only 4K is the issue that people are having, without realizing that 4K is NOT yet standard. Hell, even the devs sugested to avoid 4K if possible.

@@stevendeamon What do you mean "incorrect?" I'm sharing my experience, which many, many others can corroborate, including Digital Foundry.

[@stevendeamon]

@@jayjaygeez by incorrect I meant its not a 100% across the board issue. Like, no matter what you WILL have these issues. I just wanted to share a different experience than yours, just as an FYI for anyone considering getting it right now.

thank you for doing this !!

[@gottalight3574]

people are saying the optimization is garbage but this is actually impresive.

[@Maicollolo]

Jajaja, no.

[@Dregomz02]

No it's not it's with garbage frame gen

[@Mr.LeoNov]

​@@gottalight3574 the author uses frame generation and the game still outputs only 25-30 fps. This is.......... not really impressive. What is impressive though, is that low settings look quite good

You are the second best benchmaroer to live after Zworms even though you test more games on da 1060 but you are still in my top 3 picks 😃👍

Okay so you can play it on even high settings with i5 8600k + 1060oc, you just need to lower the scale to around 60-65. I use TSR. Mostly intense areas 45 fps, rest is 60.

[@karci_scania]

Thanks bro, with some reason anomaly in game was invisible. With this settings its all ok. Thank you!!

[@БогданНиколаевичьСташинский]

The funniest thing is that judging by the graphics, 1060 is the maximum that should be declared in the game's characteristics. Metro EXODUS, released 5 years ago, beats this mod. 🤣🤣🤣

[@marinebymistake]

I have rtx3060 and with frame gen on I get double of what you get, the only issue is that every 1-2 minutes the frames drop heavily, like to 10-20fps, for a few seconds. This is so annoying.

[@levlevinski596]

only 16GB RAM? which CPU? I have seen 1 bench 10700F 100% for 2 seconds - stutter - RAM usage 15GB. Maybe shaders not preloaded, maybe not enough RAM for streaming buffer from SSD.

I will wait for sale and put it on my list.. with my gaming pace (now playing Hogwarts) I will be fine with this GPU for a couple more years..

9700k+1060 6GB here. 1080p was unplayable and 720p is just barely playable but it's not worth it, just wait until the game is patched and you have upgraded

[@Matthias-f2j]

Ok, I don't see any major problems with my GTX 1070 (for my needs). The game seems to be well optimized for weak cards.

[@tiortedrootsky]

Ok, i'm not gonna bother with 1060+i5-8600K if frame gen gives half second delay. Sadge.

[@ult1matum]

How good is this loseles scaling thing in terms of ghosting and input delay?

[@GAMESMARKING]

Same as fsr

[@yungmarkey]

this game runs like this on a basic 1060 ?

[@masneri97]

@@yungmarkey still didn't figure out lol I saw some gameplay but idk man I'll let you know

[@tox1c_unt481]

no it does not , this is using AMD frame gen , which supposedly generates future frames to give u the feeling of better performance .. but it makes the game looks like shit and adds shit ton of artifacts and horrible ghosting and adds like 300ms delay to everything lol ...in reality u would get like 20-30 fps max

[@masneri97]

@@yungmarkey It doesn't work... Save your money wait for a sale and some hotfix and probably it will work with heavy tradeoffs, in my case I will still play this game with a "fallout 3 graphics" the problem is that for now (probably for ever)for our potato PC it's just fell all apart with huge delay and fps drops

I wouldn't call it playable if you can't get 60 frames on low settings with FSR *and* frame generation
