Patch 1.0.3 vs Patch 1.1 - S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl | R7 7700 + RTX 3080 Ti

[@arielbrunkow8034]

For me it fixed A LOT of stuttering, before i was getting nervous because the game would freeze every 5 seconds, now it is way more smooth, although no fps gain. Still get a bit of frame drop near cities but that is expected with the amount of AI is this regions. Playing on a 4070 and I7 13gen.

According to the producers, they said that there will be a significant increase in fps, especially on 3000 series graphics cards, thanks to this new patch. However, it seems that they offered this update without even testing it themselves.

This is about RTX 3000 with FSR 3.1 Frame gen enabled

[@neochannelbenchmark]

average FPS didn't increase... On medium settings + DLSS - less FPS drops. I was hoping to see at least 5% FPS....

[@124thDragoon]

the patch note you're attempting to quote reads "Fixed performance drops on NVIDIA RTX 3000 series video cards with enabled FSR frame generation." It wasn't a general increase in performance. There was simply an unintended cost overhead before.

[@berkbuyukhelvac8510]

@@124thDragoon"" Performance improvements in largely populated areas of the map."" Patch note also sayes that. And i didnt see any improvements.

[@Nebujin383]

dont expect a noticeable fps increase, but the 30's got their "fps below 10" fix.

[@LaiksVel]

how many retest you do for final result?

[@neochannelbenchmark]

I'm taking the second run for this video. When I compared 5700x and 5700x3D I did 4-5 runs. There are differences only between the 1st and second runs. Between runs 2-5 the differences are minimal. All tests in stalker 2 are the second run.

Hm interesting, i checked video from channel "zWORMz Gaming", which he released few hours ago and he had way better performance in cpu limited scenarios with his 7800x3d+rtx4090 combination compared to his launch test with 1.0 version🤔 I also noticed in your handy overlay at the end of the test that cpu utilization dropped yet with epic settings it didnt gain any performance, which is weird and different than what zwormz found

[@acegh0st]

Yeah, these results are strange. Neither CPU or GPU seem to be fully utilized most of the time, with single CPU threads maxing out at 60-80% and GPU usually at 70-90%. I’d expect the CPU to be the hard-limiting factor at 1080 resolution with this video card, especially when using DLAA at 100% resolution for antialiasing. Game is also using almost 20GB of system RAM, which seems way over the top. I’m gonna check out that other guys video and compare.

[@neochannelbenchmark]

It's hard to say for sure... There are many little things that can slightly affect the result. The first run can be a little better, but 0.1% low. The second run - the average FPS can be lower, but 0.1% higher... Everyone has different CPUs, RAM, MB, OS update.. It can also depend on the version of the game. I use the steam version.

[@acegh0st]

@@neochannelbenchmark I wasn’t suggesting your data was wrong in my reply btw. It’s more that the performance of the game is really strange. It seems to be CPU bottlenecked, yet none of the individual cores ever really gets completely saturated, even in 1080 resolution. The game is just a mess as far as I can tell. My 3080/10700K gets very similar framerates regardless of the settings or resolution I use. Somewhere between 25 and 120fps with regular stuttering 😂 It’s crazy. I’ve got a 9800x3d on the way, so we’ll see if that makes a difference. I kind of think it won’t matter much, tbh.

[@h1tzzYT]

@@neochannelbenchmark Yeah, i realize that, just wondering since it seem to differ quite a lot, maybe you could retest these versions on 5700x3d, maybe it improved more on vcache cpus? Idk just throwing some ideas :)

[@83266Andres]

Placa de video recomendada para 1080 144hz 5080super! O sea que con la 3080 voy a estar en 60 frames maso promedio o menos.

[@MansyrAli]

[@blackiceYt09]

i dont see any improvement - i use same gpu

[@Nebujin383]

improvement does not mean "increased performance", but they clearly fixed the fps stability/frametime and decreased the fps drops somewhat. but there is a mod on nexus, that inreases perfromance by 10~11%, without visual downgrade. if you are on pc, try: Optimized Tweaks S.2 from nexus/stalker2.

[@nwobhm1992]

Lol just found compass. I have been playing for like 30 hrs...

[@OsvaldoGermanSerna]

Amigo vos tenés otro problema. Esos fps con ese combo y esos settings son exageradamente bajos

[@83266Andres]

Pareciera que el 1.03 andaría unos fps.as altos.

[@neochannelbenchmark]

Sí, en la versión anterior el FPS promedio era más alto. Pero había muchos errores allí. Es mejor sacrificar un poco de FPS que jugar con errores.

[@maniakfps249]

very slow ddr5 65 latency lol laggi ram. But games is pre alpha not play

[@83266Andres]

Y con dlls activado. Dios mío yo juego nativo pelado, a crudo, como se hacía en los viejos tiempos no uso esas mie..r..da s. De reescalado y esas boludeces. Creo que no lo voy a instalar. Que bronca che......

[@neochannelbenchmark]

Sin suavizado, el mundo no es agradable a la vista. El anti-aliasing es simplemente imprescindible en este juego.
