STALKER 2 on RTX 4060 - Insane UE5 Graphics!

[@KaranBenchmarks]

Stalker 2 features incredible graphics, though the optimization could use some improvement. It’s Unreal Engine 5, after all, so expectations are mixed. That said, the game runs well overall. The DLSS 3 Frame Generation implementation is especially impressive, delivering a smooth experience without noticeable input lag. However, since some players prefer not to use Frame Generation, I’ve created optimized settings that strike the perfect balance between quality and performance. Feel free to use these settings for the best experience. If you enjoy my work, don’t forget to like the video and subscribe to the channel!

Quick with it as always my guy !!!! Cheers.

0:59 extreme ghosting on the knife, god damn!! :D EDIT: Its solved laters with DLSS so basically same shit as Silent Hill 2 where native looks WORSE than upscaled... well done GSC :D

[@IKER774]

yeah the game need i few updates to fix visual bugs and optimized

[@Srdb1999]

only dlss looks better than native fsr looks worse.

[@JorgeDimton]

@@Srdb1999 DLSS always looks better than native resolution.

[@hamzakhalil-gs7oc]

its the fault of the AA not native

[@HybOj]

@@hamzakhalil-gs7oc I know... same as the Silent Hill 2 shit, as Ive said. And its the game fault, not mine. And when native forces effed up AA, than its native and u cant do nothing bout it.

[@Ragox]

Good to see that 8 gigs of VRAM is still enough for anything but epic settings on 1080/1440p.

[@ElfordGameson]

this is a misconception, many people don't have enough 8 gigs. see other tests

[@cuma212]

Update: I'm using the optimized settings (textures on high) at dsr 1440p dlss balanced with FG with a 4060, I got ~90 fps

Bought the game. Really intensive at high DLSS 2 1080p, expect 40-55 fps

[@BILIVIOx]

Man these people in comments need help, like these are probably the best graphics i have ever seen in my life, wtf are you guys even talking about? At least tell me ONE game that has better graphics than this. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@KaranBenchmarks]

hellblade 2!

[@BILIVIOx]

​@@KaranBenchmarks Ok i just checked it out and man, those are some insane graphics. But still tbh I don't think there's a very significant difference between stalker 2 and hellblade 2 graphics. Stalker 2 has a more natural atmospheric feel, whereas hellblade 2 has more of a cinematic movie kind of feel. But both are almost same in terms of graphics.

[@mikekos7606]

Lack of proper textures, good environment geometry, lighting and shadows, and grass detailing at the 2010 level. This is undoubtedly the power of UE5.

Omg the tree pop-in even on max settings.... I guess the Nanite is there just for fun....

[@bogdanpanchuk296]

When they started migration to UE5 it was 5.0. Not sure which version they use right now (some say it's 5.2), but it's likely they don't use Nanite at all.

[@Tomas91709]

Runs similar to Silent hill 2 remake on max settings but looks better imo. But cpu performance is awful in some places there is one small town that makes fps drop from 60 with Ryzen 7 7800X3D second best cpu for gaming in the world.

[@synthzoxi9866]

Hello! Is there a preset for this beautiful overlay? And what kind of program is this? It looks stunning

[@KaranBenchmarks]

rtss custom osd exclusive to my channel!

[@ElfordGameson]

These tests do not correspond to reality. There are places where 30 fps always ( stalker villages, stalker bases) on any video card. This is not shown in this video. And so I play on RTX 2060 SUPER - it is slightly weaker than 4060, but i have 45-50 fps is the limit on medium settings with TAA 85% in open world.

[@KaranBenchmarks]

ever heard of cpu bottleneck? go and get a better cpu, im using an 14 core i5 13600k cpu!

[@rotofel]

I am getting heavy stutters on rtx 4060 laptop with your settings. Any ideas? 16gb ddr5, ryzen 5 7640hs. The game is on an nvme ssd. My cpu is on par with 7600x

game needs 32 gb ram

[@cuma212]

Where did you find the optimized settings?

[@KaranBenchmarks]

its my optimized settings!

[@АртемБаранников-ж9з]

Looks like my 16GB of RAM is in the trash. Even though it's 3600MHz on CL 15 and 4500MB/s SSD, I don't think it will save me from freezes. I hope the RAM will be fixed with patches.

[@adity-m2g]

They already said 32gb Ram is minimum

[@АртемБаранников-ж9з]

[@RARF29]

Yup, I'll stick with Metro exodus, better performance and equal or even better visuals.

[@ChillieGaming]

KZbin compresses the video. I tried the game on my own pc , and it looks better than metro exodus. Even though i played metro exodus at 4k it had sooo many low res textures like just the train wheels or most props were 1024 resolution and some were 512x512 resolution. Stalker 2 most textures are 2048x2048 which looks more sharp. its KZbin fault that the game looks so blurry.
