Best STALCRAFT: X settings for the AMD R9 380 (4GB) (2026)

On a AMD R9 380 (4GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), STALCRAFT: X runs at roughly 59 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 25FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD R9 380 (4GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and STALCRAFT: X is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is playable at 1080p — about 59 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 25 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 59 FPS at 1080p and 36 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 20 FPS at 4K. STALCRAFT: X offers ray tracing, but the AMD R9 380 (4GB) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 STALCRAFT: X: Unreal Engine 5 online shooter - turn down Lumen first; upscaling is near-essential at 1440p and up.

Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
The "X" update moved STALCRAFT to Unreal Engine 5 with DLSS, FSR and XeSS. The biggest FPS gain — turn it on first; it is near-essential at 1440p and up.
Soft LightingOffsaves FPS
Smooths the transition from lit to shaded areas for more realistic lighting. Heavy — lowering it is a solid FPS gain on mid-range and laptop GPUs, with flatter lighting as the trade-off.
View DistanceLow+12% FPS
How far the Zone renders. Useful for spotting enemies at range, but heavy and partly CPU-bound in crowded hubs.
Shadow QualityLow+11% FPS
Shadow resolution and range. High is a big saving over Epic for little visible loss.
Foliage / VegetationLow+9% FPS
Density of grass and bushes across the Zone. Costly, and lower settings stop tall grass hiding enemies in PvP.
Effects QualityLow+7% FPS
Anomalies, weather and gunfire effects. Drops most in firefights — lower it to stay steady.
Post ProcessingLow+6% FPS
Bloom, depth of field and lens effects. Low is a cheap win and a clearer competitive image.
Block Texture QualityEpic-1% FPS
Surface detail — nearly free if it fits your VRAM. On 6–8GB cards keep it at High rather than Epic.
Block Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps ground textures sharp into the distance. Effectively free — leave it at 16x.
